M/C
i remember when the online journal M/C - Media and Culture first appeared in 1998. eight years later, it's still going and going stronger than ever. a new call for papers for a special issues on the topic of free (edited by trebor scholz and rachel cobcroft) looks particularly interesting. (see the rest of the CFPs here.)
it's one thing to launch a digital project. everyone is excited to experiment and explore. with time, though, attention spans wander, excitment sort of evaporates, funding runs out, etc. sustainability - online or offline - is hard work. it's great to see M/C not only survive but thrive.

I've considered submitting to them several times. Their themed issues offer a fresh approach to academic publishing. Not sure I'd have something for the "free" issue, but will keep them in mind.
chuck, you should write an essay about youtube as free culture! i for one would definately read it. =)
Oh, that's a really cool idea! And it fits well with the current essay I'm being a little less than coy about.
And I figure if I can get at least three people (other than peer reviewers) to read my academci essays, I'm doing okay.
youtube. is awesome! i'd love to read anyone who writes an essay about it! FREE IS GOOD! :)
i agree with anonymous! chuck, there you have it: two guaranteed readers of an academic article. now you have to write it.
