Hi all, Just wanted to let you know that the latest issue of Flow: A critical forum on television and media culture came out on Friday, January 21. This issue features columns by Michael Curtin, Cynthia Fuchs, Anna McCarthy, and Robert Schrag, along with a guest column by James Hay. We have also published a one-shot piece by Lisa Parks. We have also published our interview with Sara Leeder, segment producer for CNBC's 'Topic [A] with Tina Brown'. Thanks to all of you who contributed questions. Please feel free to visit the journal at http://www.flowtv.org to read these columns and contribute responses to them. Michael Curtin builds off of Tom Streeter's previous column for Flow by polemicizing for more substantive news reporting and suggesting that to get there, more radical changes than simple reform of current media outlets may be necessary. Cynthia Fuchs writes about television and terrorism, and more specifically 24's depiction of terrorism, and the terrorists diegetic relationship to television. James Hay discusses "make over" and "renovation" television such as Pimp My Ride as working with discourses of mobility and self-creation in ways that fit neatly with conservative discourses about reinvention of the self in service of self-governance, self-sufficiency, and individualism. Anna McCarthy writes an open letter to the Food Network, discussing her likes and dislikes of particular programs, as well the overall network, and ends with her own recipe Lisa Parks revisits the 2004 election campaign coverage and notes the absence of any discussion of media reform by the candidates. Robert Schrag examines how we might use digital technology to create a more comprehensive picture of our individual and collective pasts; how we record personal history, and how the digital revolution is changing it.
