It is published by Vilnius University. Editor-in-Chief is Vladislav Fomin (since 2021)[3]. Previous Editors-in-Chief were Elena Macevičiūtė, Zenona Atkočiūnienė, and Renaldas Gudauskas.

History

Information & Media (since 2021) was established on March 4, 1992  (certificate of establishment No. 389) as Informacijos mokslai, when the system of scholarly journal publications one of the most important in Lithuania – Vilnius University – was updated. The initiative group for establishing Informacijos mokslai consisted of Vilnius University scholars Arūnas Augustinaitis, Romualdas Broniukaitis, Renaldas Gudauskas, Julija Čepytė, Vilija Gudonienė, Ala Miežinienė, and Marija Prokopčik.

On October 27, 1994, the Senate of Vilnius University approved the first Editorial Board of Informacijos mokslai, which consisted of six members: Arūnas Augustinaitis, Renaldas Gudauskas (executive editor), Vilija Gudonienė, Ala Miežinienė, Marija Prokopčik (executive secretary), and Pranas Zvinys.

On November 9, 1994, Informacijos mokslai was registered in the international register of serial publications in Lithuania. The ISSN register standard number provided is 1392–0561. Soon the first 1994 issue was released, which was published at the beginning of 1995. It was a small-format, 6.44 author sheet publication, with a circulation of 150 copies. The publication begins with an extensive foreword by the Editor-in-Chief in Lithuanian and English, which describes the aims and scope of the journal and the expected issues. Eight scientific and two informative articles were published in the first issue, five of them by foreign authors[4]. Since 2007, Informacijos mokslai has been available online – starting with the volume 40[5]. In 2021, the journal was renamed to Information & Media. A new ISSN number was provided – 2783–6207. Information & Media continues the publication of Informacijos mokslai (1392–0561, 1392–1487)[6]
