Dear Colleagues, As more of us, necessarily, begin to turn our media and communication sights on the confluence of today’s global crises, some of the new titles published this year in the Global Crises and the Media Series published by Peter Lang will hopefully prove of interest. Please excuse the seeming promotion of the series alongside the excellent volumes that comprise it. This year the following titles have been published, with full details on the Peter Lang website ( http://www.peterlang.com/index.cfm?cid=165#6980593 ), or the books can also be accessed/purchased via Amazon. Pandemics and the Media (2015) Marina Levina. Patents, Pills and the Press: The Rise and Fall of the Global HIV/AIDS Medicines Crisis in the News. (2015) Thomas Owen. Global News: Reporting Conflicts and Cosmopolitanism (2015) Alexa Robertson. Worker Resistance and Media: Challenging Global Corporate Power in the 21st Century. (2015) Lina. Dencik and Peter Wilkin. The Dynamics of Mediatized Conflicts. (2015) (Eds.) Mikkel Eskjær, Stig Hjarvard and Mette Mortensen. Humanitarianism, Communications, and Change. (2015) (Eds.) Simon Cottle & Glenda Cooper. These titles join earlier volumes in the series that include: Citizen Journalism: Global Perspectives. (2009) (Eds.) S. Allan & E. Thorsen. Terror Post 9/11 and the Media. (2009) D. Altheide. Climate Change and the Media. (2009) (Eds.) J. Lewis & T. Boyce. Transnational Protests and the Media. (2011) (Eds.) S. Cottle & L. Lester. Migrations and the Media. (2011) (Eds.) K. Moore, B. Gross & T. Threadgold. Disasters and the Media. (2012) M. Pantti, K. Wahl-Jorgensen & S. Cottle. Environmental Conflict and the Media (2013) (Eds.) L. Lester & B. Hutchins. Global Journalism: Theory and Practice (2013) P. Berglez. Citizen Journalism: Global Perspectives, Volume II. (2014) (Eds.) S. Allan & E. Thorsen. A number of new titles are also currently under-preparation/or nearing completion in this series that deliberately seeks to engage with some of the most pressing global issues confronting the world today and the changing configurations of communications power within them. I hope you or your students find some of these titles of use as we struggle to move beyond ‘methodological nationalism’ and critically engage with the changing nature of today’s globally endemic crises.
