In less than one week, the first issue of 10plus1 on Media Linguistics is to be released. Currently, the editors are patiently working on the final touches such as layouting, tagging, stylesheeting etc. Their work is fuelled by (a) lots of Mate and (b) the finish-line in sight! We are happily looking forward to Issue #1 – next week – 15 September!
