THE NEW MEDIA WORLD
Series Editor, Joseph Turow (Annenberg School, University of Pennsylvania)
Explores key themes relating to the emerging media environment. The term emerging media environment refers to the broad ecosystem of technologies, processes, audiences, consumers, industries, governments, and sponsors that interact around various forms of information such as entertainment, news, education, and advertising. Fundamental changes in that ecosystem—involving media as traditional as newspapers and books or as new as mobile phones and weblogs—are already transforming the ways people around the world communicate, participate in civic life, and imagine themselves in relation to others.
The New Media World will feature thematically bold and well-researched books that explore these issues from a wide range of disciplinary and cultural perspectives, and that are capable of stimulating academic thinking and influencing public discourse and policy.

THE BEST OF TECHNOLOGY WRITING
The Best of Technology Writing is an annual series that aims to broaden public interest in technology by collecting work that captures the versatility, excitement, and importance of this crucial field. Taking our cue from the open source movement, nominations for each volume will be solicited through an online, open nominating process, and then evaluated by a small group of judges, which will be led by that year's guest editor. The final collection will be published each fall, and available in paperback and online. The Best of Technology Writing 2007 and The Best of Technology Writing 2006 are now online.
