SCMS holds an annual conference and publishes '' Cinema Journal '', a periodical featuring articles on media from a critical (i.e., not Empirical ) perspective. This includes, but is not limited to, Film Studies , Television Studies , Media Studies , Visual Arts , Cultural Studies , film and media history, and Moving Image Studies . Its stated goals are: :to promote all areas of media studies within universities and two-and four-year colleges; to encourage and reward excellence in scholarship and writing; to facilitate and improve the teaching of media studies as disciplines and to advance multi-cultural awareness and interaction. SCMS is dedicated to serving its members' professional needs and concerns; strengthening the ties between the academic community and those who interact with it, from the media industry to the government to the public at large; and to promoting the preservation of our film, television, and video heritage. Along with the University Film And Video Association , it is one of the principal U.S. academic organizations for studying media. HISTORY SCMS was founded in 1959 . It added "media" to its name in the early 2000s to account for the work of its members outside of the Film Studies discipline. EXTERNAL LINKS |
