Content from previous issues also available:

This edition includes the articles 'Unpacking Critical Theories to Enhance Creative Practice: A PhD in Screenwriting Case Study' (Craig Batty); 'Facebook’s Ugly Sisters: Anonymity and Abuse on Formspring and Ask.fm' (Amy Binns); 'Organising Media as Social Objects: an exploratory assessment of a core media literacy competence' (Jerry Jacques, Pierre Fastrez & Thierry De Smedt) and 'Film Studies and Statistical Literacy' (Nick Redfern).
In our acclaimed 'Laughey's Canon' column, Pete Fraser re-appraises Henry Jenkins' 'Textual Poachers'.
