This
issue explores the cultures of the contemporary media industries, taking
a cool look at the current explosion and diversification of new media
forms. It focuses on the relations between new media and popular experience
- assessing where commercial cultures and new technologies offer something
genuinely exciting, and where there is more hype than innovation.
