When you got that weekend lined up and ready to go.

We can support scholar-driven research or we can support commercial publishers. It appears increasingly unlikely that we can do both.

It’s funny and terrifying because it’s true!

ALERT! New reader--Social Media & the Self--now available! This web-only reader is classroom-ready and is also very, very good. With a preface and introduction by Jeff Pooley | @[email protected] Cost to you (and anyone else)? Zero. Another mediastudies.press | @[email protected] production.

And here are its thoughts about Afghanistan!

Yep. And the social sciences and humanities get warped right along with the natural sciences.

Hi everyone. Today is the launch of History of Media Studies, a journal I edit with Jeff Pooley | @[email protected] and Pete Simonson Take a look if you are so inclined:

Our editors’ introduction to the new *History of Media Studies* journal is now translated into Spanish (a language we officially support): hms.mediastudies.press/pub/hms-editor…

So we have a big surprise: we have just launched The Crypto Syllabus, a curated resource with long-form critical interviews about the world of crypto, reading recommendations, and more the-crypto-syllabus.com

Actual LOL. As grifts go, this is isn't really that bad. Still it has a familiar watermark of shamelessness all over it. Also: the scholar has a backpack and a walking stick and I have to admit those were good design decisions. Still want a jet ski for accelerated track.

I always hate to see a media company pushing to move everyone and everything to New York or L.A. We need arts critics writing for a national audience in Chicago and so many other places.

This is extremely good: mediastudies.press brings you Sue Curry Jansen's What Was Artificial Intelligence?

We mediastudies.press | @[email protected] are proud to announce the publication of a new special section of our journal History of Media Studies: hms.mediastudies.press, titled “Exclusions in the History of Media Studies/Exclusiones en la Historia de los Estudios de Medios.” 1/10

We at mediastudies.press are proud to share with you the first-ever publication of Erving Goffman's doctoral dissertation: Communication Conduct in an Island Community 1/5: mediastudies.press/communication-…
