New book by IAMCR member

The Handbook of Gender, Sex and Media offers original insights into the complex set of relations which exist between gender, sex, sexualities and the media, and in doing so, showcases new research at the forefront of media and communication practice and theory.

New book by IAMCR member

The Internet has been transformed in the past years from a system primarily oriented on information provision into a medium for communication and community-building. The notion of 'Web 2.0', social software, and social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace have emerged in this context.

It's time for IAMCR members to renew their membership for 2012. All individual and institutional members should have received an email recently reminding them that their 2012 membership fees are due.

If you aren't yet a member, join online and become part of the worldwide professional organisation in the field of media and communication research.
