What’s relevant: CNN vs Al Jazeera

Resources on media and social theory

I came across the wonderful website http://www.theory.org.uk today that I think everyone interested in social theory and media studies should check out. It has resources on general social theory, gender, media effects. It has creative stuff on Web 2.0, tipps for media students, an art lab and lots of other stuff. My favourite: social theory trading cards.
