Acknowledgements

Launching a new eJournal has required extensive work. Without the participation of a number of colleagues, this issue would not have gone to press. We owe a debt of gratitude to Andrew Crystall, Jason Nolan, Richard Pope, and Mark Federman, who were involved in the early days of conceptualizing the journal. Carolyn Guertin was a driving force in the founding of MediaTropes, laid the early ground by assisting with the establishment of the advisory board, and provided assistance with peer-review and proofreading. We thank Agnes Kruchio, who consulted at meetings for two years, and provided proofreading assistance. David Eaton Gillis created the journal design. While the limitations of the OJS system prevent us from actualizing major features of his design, we intend to keep working toward its ultimate realization in the years ahead. Our thanks as well to Erinn Brush, who translated the design to OJS specifications.
