Web25 — Special issue of New Media & Society on the Web’s first 25 years
In August 2016 the World Wide Web can celebrate its 25th anniversary. Or can it? No doubt that the World Wide Web has played an important role in the communicative infrastructure of most societies since the beginning of the 1990s, but when did the Web actually start? And how has the Web developed? These are the two main areas of study that this special issue of New Media & Society intends to investigate.
The special issue is guest edited by Niels Brügger, and if you intend to propose a paper please email a 700 word abstract proposal, along with a short author biography, no later than 15 November 2014 to nb@dac.au.dk.
