The Journal is sponsored by the Centre for Research in Media Innovations (CeRMI) and the Department of Media and Communication, University of Oslo. The inaugural issue demarcates the foundations and literatures of media innovations as a field, foregrounding many of its important components and thematic foci, and thereby points to a range of important challenges to innovation on both theoretical and practical levels.
