Summary note
"Scholarly engagement with the magazine form has, in the last two decades, produced a substantial amount of valuable research. Authored by the leading academic authorities in the study of magazine journalism, the chapters in this new handbook not only create an architecture to organize and archive the developing field of magazine research, but also explicitly suggest possible new avenues of future investigation. Each chapter surveys the last 20 years of scholarship in its subject area, identifying the major research themes, theoretical developments and interpretive breakthroughs. Exploration of the digital challenges and opportunities which currently face the magazine world are woven throughout, offering readers both a deeper understanding of the magazine form, as well as the sociocultural realities it both mirrors and influences"-- Provided by publisher.
