New COST double special issue: "Audiences: A Cross-Generational Dialogue"

We are pleased to announce that the double special issue “Audiences: A Cross-Generational Dialogue” is out!

This double special issue results from the work of the cross-generational workshop on audience research co-organized by the COST Action IS0906 “Transforming Audiences, Transforming Societies” and YECREA – the young scholars network of ECREA – at Saint-Louis University, Brussels, in April 2012. The event was presented in collaboration with the Audience and Reception Studies section of ECREA.
