About Southern Review<br>
Southern Review is an interdisciplinary journal focussing on the<br>
connections between communication and politics. Since its
inception<br>
in 1963, Southern Review has been interested in communication and<br>
cultural technologies - their histories, producers, policies and<br>
texts. It welcomes articles that connect these areas either to
arenas<br>
of legislative or parliamentary politics or to broader
negotiations<br>
of power. Sample articles from the current volume of Southern
Review<br>
can be viewed at</font><font face="Courier" size="-1" color="#0000EE">
