LA+ Media

Authors from a wide array of disciplines explore the “middleness” of media by considering how its various forms influence our knowledge, shape our understanding, and affect our interpretation of the world around us.

Authors from a wide array of disciplines explore the “middleness” of media by considering how its various forms influence our knowledge, shape our understanding, and affect our interpretation of the world around us. We end with a tribute to the late Richard Weller, co-founder with Tatum Hands of this journal.
