Mobile Media Reader / Meet the Editor Just a quick note to let everyone know that I'll be at the Peter Lang booth on Saturday (May 26) at 1:00pm for a little promotional event.
I've pasted a link to the publisher's page on the book, plus the official blurb. I think the book will be of interest to many on this list. - Noah Arceneaux http://www.peterlang.com/index.cfm?event=cmp.ccc.seitenstruktur.detailseiten&seitentyp=produkt&pk=58429&concordeid=311300 Portable phones were once limited to voice and text messaging, though these devices are now miniature multi-media centers that can fit neatly in one’s pocket. Media industries off all types are adapting content for this new platform, or innovating entirely new forms. In the light of the explosive growth of this technology, The Mobile Media offers a diverse collection of essays that establish conceptual, critical frameworks for evaluating the latest transformation of the media landscape. Some essays explore older phenomenon, such as C.B. radio, automobile radio, and hand-held video games, to provide a historical context, while others unpack the behind-the-scenes negotiations that determine what kinds of services are available to consumers. The Mobile Media Reader provides a road map for both scholars and beginning students to examine the social, cultural, and commercial implications of media that is available anywhere at any time. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mobile-society" group.
