*Call for Papers: Reconnecting Political Disconnection*

Winter 2010 to Summer 2011 saw surprising political processes and 
events: massive political upheaval and transformation in formerly 
undemocratic countries, on the one hand, and the apparent ineffectuality 
of widespread discontent and protest in many 'democratic' countries on 
the other. At the same time, new and old forms of media and journalism 
technology and practice had disparate effects: some appeared to enable 
political connection, movement and transformation, while others worked 
to disconnect, close down and preserve stasis. This issue of JOMEC, 
/Reconnecting Political Disconnection/, invites contributions which 
engage with what is to be learned from these complex conjunctions in 
which new and old forms of journalism, media, cultural and political 
practice converge and operate in competing ways.
