ABOUT THE JOURNAL

The International Journal of Media and Cultural Politics (MCP) is committed to analyzing the politics of communication(s) and cultural processes. It addresses cultural politics in their local, international and global dimensions, recognizing equally the importance of issues defined by their specific cultural geography and those which traverse cultures and nations.
