No work will be accepted or rejected purely on the basis of its methodology or subject. Author sex, race, ethnic background, geographical location or work affiliation (secondary/college level, department, etc.) of the author(s) are never considered in making editorial judgments. The demands of the disciplines of speech communication and theater are key factors in the editorial judgments made. All editorial decisions attempt to balance these demands with the needs and interests of the journal's readers.

The journal is guided by three key principles:

1. To provide an outlet for the expression of diverse ideas.
2. To publish high quality scholarship in the disciplines of Speech Communication and Theater.
3. To meet the journal-related needs of CTAM and its members.
