MCP Journal: Homage to Professor Kevin G. Barnhurst

The International Journal of Media & Cultural Politics (MCP), is 
including in its more recent issue a homage piece to Professor Kevin G. 
Barnhurst, who passed away on June 2016. We have the sad honour of 
publishing, to our knowledge, his last journal article, which is part of 
his recently published book ‘Mister Pulitzer and the Spider: Modern News 
from Realism to the Digital’ (University of Illinois Press, 2016).
What follows is the outline of contents for this issue, which can be 
accessed online here:
