*International Journal of Creative Media Research* *Issue 3 Published* [image: FB_IMG_1538338178220.jpg] *www.creativemediaresearch.org <https://www.creativemediaresearch.org/>* Welcome to the third issue of the *International Journal of Creative Media Research*, Bath Spa University's interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed and open access academic journal devoted to pushing forward the approaches to and possibilities for publishing creative media-based research. Issue 3 comprises eight pieces of work, developed from across a number of countries and from a range of disciplines, that present explorations and reflections on emerging approaches to creative and practice-based research. Topics span the creation of news poems, experimental uses of virtual reality in learning and teaching practices, the application of art-based research methods in museum curation, and the development of new creative research methodologies like ethnomediaology. This issue also showcases a particular focus on documentary filmmaking as a research method, with a series of articles exploring this form’s creative, conceptual and methodological relationship to heritage, story and character on screen. Other pieces in this issue – namely Ron Herrema’s Code as Prosthesis – experiment with an altogether less linear and more user-led method of presenting creative research, adopting a more interactive approach. Enjoy the content, and please share widely. *ISSUE 3 CONTENTS <https://www.creativemediaresearch.org/current-issue>:* *'News Poems': A New Way of Manufacturing the News <https://www.creativemediaresearch.org/post/news-poems-a-new-way-of-manufacturing-the-news>* *- Andrew Calcutt, University of East London* *Creating the Griersonian Character and Breaking the ‘Yahoo’ Tradition <https://www.creativemediaresearch.org/post/reating-the-griersonian-character-and-breaking-the-yahoo-tradition>* *- Catherine Gough-Brady, RMIT University, Melbourne* *What Are Students Doing When We Aren’t Looking: A Pilot Exploration of the Ways Students Interpret the Production and Risk Assessment Process when Working Independently of an Educator on Location Film Shoots <https://www.creativemediaresearch.org/post/what-are-students-doing-when-we-aren-t-looking>* *- Annie East, Bournemouth University* *Art Based Research as Virtual Cultural Heritage <https://www.creativemediaresearch.org/post/art-based-research-as-virtual-cultural-heritage>* *- Annie Wan, Independent Researcher* *Non-Linear Documentary and Museum Exhibition Design: Interdisciplinary Inspirations <https://www.creativemediaresearch.org/post/non-linear-documentary-and-museum-exhibition-design-interdisciplinary-inspirations>* *- Helen Gaynor, University of Melbourne* *Love in a Time of a Marriage Equality Postal Survey: Documentary Filmmaking in the Midst of Moral Panic <https://www.creativemediaresearch.org/post/love-in-a-time-of-a-marriage-equality-postal-survey>* *- Phoebe Hart, Queensland University of Technology* *Code as Prosthesis <https://www.creativemediaresearch.org/post/code-as-prosthesis>* *- Ron Herrema, Bath Spa University* *StoryLab Research Network: An Ethnomediaology Approach to Story-Development <https://www.creativemediaresearch.org/post/storylab-research-network-an-ethnomediaology-approach-to-story-development>* *- Nico Meissner, Griffith Film School, Queensland* *CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:* We are now accepting submissions for future issues.
