[csaa-forum] MIA Issue 130 now available

[John Gunders]

Dear colleagues

 

Issue No 130 of Media International Australia (MIA) is now available:
Computer Games: Co-Creation and Regulation, edited by Sal Humphreys.

 

>From the editorial: This special issue is enormously important because
it offers suggestive new models for how industry, community, government
and users should approach media. Sal Humphrey 's introduction and the
various papers collected in this anthology raise many questions about
the adequacy of today's regulation for the vibrant area of gaming. What
I really like about the issue is that not only do the authors provide us
with rich resources for adequately grasping, understanding and designing
appropriate regulation for gaming itself, but their analyses really go
to wider-indeed fundamental-premises of media policy and regulation.
Their ideas refresh these often-stale debates, and I hope the issue is
widely read.

Abstracts and further details are available on the website:
