Reframing Media and Cultural Studies in the Age of Global Crisis

Westminster Papers in Communication and Culture is thrilled to announce the publication of a special new audio commentary issue on the topic of reshaping media and cultural studies for a new era.

In the words of issue editor Dr Tarik Sabry in the editorial: ‘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.’

The issue features numerous CAMRI scholars, as well as leading media theorists from around the globe, and it is all open access.
