Convergence 12.3: Open Call for Papers

After eleven years as one of the foremost international journals in
new media studies, Convergence is undergoing some exciting changes,
including a move to Sage publications from 2006. This will
significantly extend the distribution and indexing services available
to the journal and its authors, and we expect a large increase in
readers and citations.

open call for any research that addresses Convergence’s research
focuses in the broad field of new media studies. For this issue,
