[Air-l] Media Policy Position at Oxford

[Christian Sandvig]

All,

Position announcement attached; please feel free to distribute.  I am not
involved in hiring for this position, but I am forwarding this to AIR-L
because it is my impression that specializing in Internet research with
clear links to law and policy would qualify as "media policy".
