Emerald Studies in Media and Communications (ESMC) is edited by series co-editors Laura Robinson, Shelia Cotten, and Jeremy Schulz with series senior editors Deb Aikat, John Baldwin, Tim Hale, Heloisa Pait, Julie Wiest, and Apryl Williams and managing editor Aneka Khilnani.

CITAMS@30: Two Volumes with Emerald Studies in Media and Communications to Celebrate CITAMS’ Thirty-Year Anniversary
Two volumes also to celebrate the section’s thirtieth anniversary. Since the beginning of CITASA’s sponsorship of Emerald Studies in Media and Communications (ESMC), the series has published research by CITAMS members and contributed to the section’s intellectual community. More recently, ESMC has also enjoyed sponsoring the Media Sociology Preconference and organizing closing plenary sessions of that annual event. Given these fruitful relationships, as the thirty-year anniversary of CITAMS approached, it seemed only natural to invite the CITAMS past chairs and community to contribute to a special volume celebrating the event. We invited current section chair Wenhong Chen and past chairs Barry Wellman, Shelia Cotten, and Laura Robinson to join forces with Casey Brienza, founder of the Media Sociology Preconference. Their mission was simple: find the best current scholarship highlighting the present of our dynamic field or seek out analysis on the growth and history of the section with an eye to the future. To our delight, overwhelming response produced not one, but two volumes. Barry Wellman leads the first of the two volumes– Networks, Hacking, and Media–CITAMS@30: Now and Then and Tomorrow–showcases field analysis from past CITAMS chairs, as well as a feast of interdisciplinary scholarship on networks and relationships. Casey Brienza leads the second of the two volumes–The M in CITAMS@30: Media Sociology–probing the relationships between inequalities and media, as well as a scintillating array of scholarship on cultural production and consumption. Both volumes highlight some of the best of the vibrant, interdisciplinary scholarship in communication, information technologies and media sociology.
