Hi all, ... now that it's officially in stock at major online retailers (the ultimate index of reality ...) Digital Media Ethics. Cambridge: Polity Press - i.e., part of the their Digital Media and Society series, that includes publications by sister and brother AoIR-ists such as Jill Walker Rettberg and Alex Halavais. AoIRists Steve Jones and Elizabeth Buchanan have been very generous in their blurbs for the book, all of that can be read for oneself at the book's website: <http://www.polity.co.uk/digitalmediaandsociety/bookinfo_dme.aspx> As I emphasize in the introduction, the realities of networked technologies and thereby of our networked selves and communities mean that our responsibilities and obligations to one another are likewise distributed in significant new ways. In particular, this book would not have been possible without the generous assistance so characteristic of still other AoIRists, including Susanna Paasonen, Mia Consalvo, Miguel Sicart, and multiple colleagues at the Information and Media Studies Department of Aarhus University, including Niels Ole Finnemann, Jakob Linaa Jensen, Finn Olesen, Randi Markussen, and Poul Erik Nielsen. My deepest thanks to all. And, in these multiple ways, I think of the book as very much an instantiation exemplifying the interdisciplinary and international emphases of AoIR, and what AoIR can thus do for the sake of fostering multiple facets of Internet research. Especially in that light, I note the book's publication with as much pleasure for what it might say about AoIR as a scholarly community as for what it might mean for me. Enjoy! - c.
