[ecrea] Special Issue of WPCC: Reframing Media and Cultural Studies in the Age of Global Crisis

This is a request a first posting on the ECREA mailing list to advise of 
the publication of a new edition of a journal.

**REFRAMING MEDIA AND CULTURAL STUDIES IN THE AGE OF GLOBAL CRISIS**

The journal WESTMINSTER PAPERS IN COMMUNICATION AND CULTURE is thrilled 
to announce the publication of a special first new AUDIO commentary 
issue on the topic of reshaping media and cultural studies.

Dr Tarik Sabry describes: 'In an age of ongoing economic and political 
crisis, military conflict displacing millions of people and systems of 
governance and democracy in question, a reassessment of the questions 
posed by the disciplines of media and cultural studies is called for. 
Traditional paradigms for conceptualising the media are further 
challenged by shifts in the media environment resulting from the growth 
of digital and mobile media. This is a defining moment for the field and 
a time for reflection and re-evaluation.'

WPCC is an open access journal and all content is available to read free
