Journal of the Arkansas State Communication Association.  "While the JCS does not discriminate against any particular methodology of analysis, or unit of analysis, the consensus of the Editorial Board is that there is ample opportunity in the discipline for publishing "critical theory", "post-modern" studies, or "sexual identity studies" and that studies of that sort should be sent to other venues "

This is all I could find on the LCJ.  The Louisiana Communication Journal is a labor of love that has been edited by one of LCA’s founder’s Patricia Rockwell, and has involved several people all over the state as associate editors. It began, and continues as a small but solid publication, of which we should be proud, and for which we owe profound thanks to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette for printing and supporting. 2007 will mark the 9th edition of the journal. Turner Steckline of UL-Monroe is the journal Editor
