Innovative Approaches to ICT Research

The contributions to this issue of the Medien Journal deal with the consequences of ICTs, especially the Internet, on communication research policy and munication studies and implement a meta-theoretical approach. The subsequent case studies are all together strongly interdisciplinary-oriented and go beyond existing assumptions about ICT in the field of media and communication studies.
