Aether
"Aether offers a forum that examines the geography of media, including cinema, television, the Internet, music, art, advertising, newspapers and magazines, video and animation. It is our goal to provide a space for contributions to current issues surrounding these media, beginning with constructions of space & place, cultural landscapes, society, and identity. We invite inquiries into the production, distribution, exhibition, and consumption of all types of media and thus we will offer critical, pedagogical and discursive content that views the world in new and exciting ways. We welcome submissions from anyone wishing to publish material that extends the boundaries of the traditional academic journal. We encourage work that is highly visual or aural, including video, and will actively promote material that makes use of our digital technologies."

International Journal of Digital Culture and Electronic Tourism
In a turbulent world, culture and tourism provide two of the most fascinating aspects of human life. Creativity, imagination, brilliant colours, music, sounds, artifacts, spectacular places are becoming the required connectors for humanity. In a global perspective, the new capacities of emerging technologies, such as pervasive and ubiquitous computing, semantic knowledge portals, broadband and satellite networks, Web 2.0 and semantic web, open source software, set new tools, define new horizons for human creativity and connectivity. In the digital world of the knowledge society, the development of infrastructures for the provision of services to citizens for access to cultural content and tourism services requires a multifold analysis of social, business, and technological factors. It seems that unfortunately there is a significant gap in the performance of current approaches and a key absence of scholar publications that will provide a fruitful dialogue.

Wi
Wi: journal of mobile media (pronounced wī) was founded
in 2006 as in-house publication of the Mobile Digital Commons Network (MDCN)
and has since operated under the aegis of the Mobile Media Lab. The Lab has two
nodes, one in Montreal (www.mobilities.ca)
and one in Toronto (www.mobilemedialab.ca).Wi
is an open- access peer-reviewed experimental journal. The mandate of the
journal is to create an interdisciplinary international dialogue for scholars
to explore the “term” mobilities in all of its many manifestations,
although the history of the journal indicates an emphasis on the connection of
mobilities research to media studies, the media arts and communications. We are
particularly interested in publishing works that use media (images, sounds,
animations) as a major component of their articles, although this is not a
requirement.
