This is great PR.  With all due respect though, the journal is the  
Journal of Communication, no "s." Some of my colleagues in the field  
are very picky about this.

Communications connotes the professional, applied side of our field  
whereas many departments emphasizing their research on human  
interaction and media now often adopt "communication" for their names  
or descriptions.

Best,
Gina
