A provocative Q, to be sure, and of course, the answer to members of this list is Yes. BUT I just went thru the entire "intersections" (with other disciplines) issue of the J of Communication (54, 4, 12/08) and didn't notice one mention of the Internet, or the new media in general. Perhaps I missed some obscure thing, but I wuz amazed. Having started this, please excuse me if i don't respond personally. Deadlined on my book chapter NOW.
