ABOUT THE JOURNAL
The International Journal of Media and Cultural Politics (MCP) is 
committed to analysing 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. MCP promotes critical, in-depth, engaged research 
on the intersections of sociology, politics, cultural studies and media 
studies and invites sharp, contemporary, stimulating analyses of issues 
of live concern for a broad range of cultures and nations and for the 
international community.
Edited by Katharine Sarikakis and Neil Blain.
