[ecrea] New Journal Announcement: Mediapolis: A Journal of Cities and Culture

Fri Jan 08 16:28:10 GMT 2016





We’re proud to announce the publication of the first issue of
/Mediapolis: A Journal of Cities and Culture/. Taking inspiration from
our historical moment, which is defined by both the increasingly
constitutive role media plays in our everyday life and by the force the
urban and urbanization exert on those lives, /Mediapolis/ places urban
and media studies in conversation with one another. In doing so, we
aspire to create a venue for discussion that operates outside the
territory of the traditional academic journal, complementing existing
publications by producing open-access scholarship whose approach and
topics are equally accessible and of interest to a wide audience.
/Mediapolis/ will take full advantage of the flexibility afforded by our
format to feature podcasts, video, and interactive content alongside
roundtable discussions, trend pieces, reviews and peer-reviewed research
articles.


We are excited by the possibilities of /Mediapolis/, and look forward to
continuing conversations begun at conferences, gathering a community for
teaching resources around the urban and media, and providing a home for
innovative “small-gauge” scholarship. Above all, we believe
/Mediapolis/ affords the opportunity to foster a broader dialogue around
media and the city with colleagues from cinema and media studies, art
history, communication, urban studies, and other fields within and
outside the academy. These goals are reflected in our editorial and
advisory boards, as well as in the content of our first issue, which is
available at mediapolisjournal.com
<http://mediapolisjournal.com><http://mediapolisjournal.com>. If you're
interested in contributing to the journal in any way, archiving your
course materials there, or serving as a reader for future submissions,
please email Brendan Kredell (Oakland University) or Erica Stein
(Marymount Manhattan College), at (editor /at/ mediapolisjournal.com)
