[ecrea] Special Issue of Popular Communication

Special issue of Popular Communication on Digital Convergence in Latin America

Dear Colleagues of the Philosophy of Communication Division,

As Chair of the Popular Communication Division I would like to inform you of the latest Special Issue of the Division's journal Popular Communication: The International Journal of Media and Culture on "Digital Convergence in the Critical Fields of Culture, Communication, and Regulation in Latin America" which we hope will be of interest to many of our colleagues in your Division.

The issue offers an outstanding collection of articles on the phenomenon of convergence in Latin America and on its cultural and social consequences, featuring articles by Néstor García Canclini, Jesús Martín Barbero, José Cabrera Paz, Ana María Ochoa and Carolina Botero, Raúl Trejo Delarbre and our guest editor Rosalía Winocur of Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana, Mexico.

We are excited about having been able to translate five of the six articles from Spanish, thereby overcoming the linguistic barrier that often impedes the wider discussion and examination of Latin American experiences of and with digital convergence.

Guest Editor's Introduction

"New Intersections for Thinking About Digital Convergence in the Critical Fields of Culture, Communication, and Regulation in Latin America," Rosalía Winocur
