This issue of Digital Icons explores the ways in which wars and conflicts are mediated, commemorated, reported and discussed on the Internet as well as in other forms of new media, including mobile phones, digital broadcasting and computer games. The issue examines the role of new media in understanding, representing, negotiating and remembering (or forgetting) war and terror; the status of testimony, evidence and reportage in the age of digital reproduction; practices of memory in relation to new information and communication technologies; and structures of feeling that operate in on-line reports and debates around military operations and human suffering.
