Deja Vu: (re-)creating web history

This site differs from archive.org's wayback machine-- the dejavu.org emulator lets one look at contemporary sites with vintage browsers. Thanks to LeisureArts, once again.

The Journal of New Media and Culture

It looks like LeisureArts went on a del.icio.us tear tagging peer reviewed journals:
NMEDIAC has adopted the mission of publishing peer-reviewed papers and audiovisual pieces that contextualize encoding/decoding environments and the discourses, ideologies, and human experiences/uses of new media apparatuses. NMEDIAC provides an intellectual canvas where the cultural spaces and experiences of new media are theorized and rigorously explored within both global and local contingencies of the present and past. In particular, we publish articles that attempt inter- and intra-disciplinary research of new media texts and technologies. Works that incorporate either or both humanities and social science approaches to scholarship are welcome.

Town Meeting on the Future of Media

From Jeff Smith, Department Chair:
The Department of Journalism and Mass Communication at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is a sponsor of a Town Meeting on the Future of Media on Thursday, September 7, 2006, at 6:30 p.m. The event will be held at the Helen Bader Concert Hall in UWM's Helene Zelazo Center for the Performing Arts.

A message from community artist/activist Nicolas Lampert says:
This is an open hearing; that means that anyone can and is encouraged to provide testimony to the commissioners about how well their media serves the community. This is a rare opportunity for people to come and speak to the commissioners of the FCC. Being a commissioner is an appointed position, not an elected one, so it is very rare that they come to public events and open up for discussion and criticism from the public.

From Free Press:
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
How well are your media serving you?

Do you want the media to do a better job covering issues you care about? Do you want more quality journalism? Are you wondering whether a few giant media conglomerates will provide the diverse and independent viewpoints you need?

Now is your chance to tell FCC Commissioners Jonathan Adelstein and Michael Copps how well the media are serving your community. Don’t miss this opportunity to make your voice heard!
