* Editorial Notes:
- While Professional Notes usually represents the last 3-4 months of publications, this installment contains a few entries outside of that timeframe submitted by SCMS members that had not been included in earlier lists.
- The articles represented in Professional Notes include a selection of articles about film, television, and other media published in journals that are not traditionally focused on aspects of media studies. Therefore, member-submitted articles in media studies journals (such as, but not limited to, those included in SCMS’ journals resource list) will not be represented here. PN also does not include chapters in edited collections at this time, although media-focused edited collections are more than welcome as part of the books list.
