Review
The media are on the move, in every conceivable way. As "new" media arrive at our doorsteps and bedsides, this compelling volume asks us to think about mobile media in a different way, to consider the who, what, when, and where of how the media go about their business. In an era of footloose cultural production, Locating Migrating Media is an invaluable guide. -- Miller, Toby This volume is unique in its examination of productions' impact on the locales themselves, and the locations' impact on the televisual aspects of the productions...This book fills a unique niche. Summing Up: Recommended. CHOICE
