Now entering its third year
The International Journal of Media and Cultural Politics (IJMCP) was
launched at the start of 2005 and has rapidly attracted a large volume of
submissions, resulting from the outset in the publication of high quality
writing on the politics of communication and cultural processes from authors
representing the broadest spectrum of international research in media,
communication(s) and culture.
The journal 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. IJMCP promotes critical, in-depth, engaged research on the
intersections of sociology, politics, cultural studies and media studies,
and aims to keep academic analysis in dialogue with the articles.
The final issue of the second volume, guest-edited by Myria Georgiou and
Eugenia Siapera, was dedicated to pressing issues of Multiculturalism. The
first issue of the third volume includes thought provoking articles and
commentaries from scholars from seven countries that continue to address
current and urgent questions of our times, by exploring and reflecting on
the field of media and cultural studies, the practices of traditional and
new forms of journalism, the space for politics in virtual or cinematic
venues.
In the forthcoming Volume 3 issue 1
Andrew Quinn writes an apologia for the Glasgow University Media Group;
