[Air-l] new media reader article suggestions

[elisia cohen]

Hi,

Please forgive me for tooting my own horn, but there are a number of articles in the December 2002 Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic issue on "New Media and the Commercial Sphere" that may be of interest to the AoIR membership, and to you specifically.

I think that I have a very 'readable' article in the issue entitled "Online Journalism as Market Journalism." I just presented it for undergrads and graduates at St. Louis University (where I will be an asst. prof of media studies in the fall).  The theory is easy to follow and it really deals with quite a few media convergence issues that may be both timely and relevant...

don't know if its a good fit or not... but I'm happy to send a copy to anyone who is interested.  It should also be available online through proquest and academic ASAP if you want to take a peak.

Hi, 

I haven't posted much to this list but I'm writing to ask for help with
article ideas for the revised edition of my new media reader, Living in
the Information Age (Wadsworth, 2002). I have some new additions in mind
but would welcome any suggestions. Given the profusion of writing on new
media, information technology, Internet studies, and related topics, I
suspect there are many gems out there I am not aware of. Any suggestions
will of course be acknowledged in the next edition. I thought it would be
worthwhile to make this process a little more interactive than usual, and
open up the content to potential users of the reader. I'm looking for
medium length magazine articles, readable academic essays, book chapters,
newsfeatures, and the like. The reader is geared towards an introductory
readership.

For more information about the reader, here's the publisher's
(horrendously long) URL (copy and paste it into your browser):

David Silver has also posted two online reviews and an editor's response
to the reader on his Resource Center for Cyberculture Studies site, in the
book review section for December 2002:

The RCCS is a great resource if you haven't checked it out yet. 

Any suggestions appreciated. If you'd like, I can send you the detailed
table of contents for the current edition. Thanks!

Erik
