The internet, copyright and information as a commons as a new and important area of investigation. Challenging the celebratory rhetoric of new media. Pec/m continues to inform work investigating strategies of resisting the mainstream media. Builds on the innovations in pec/m that have followed its encounter with feminist and anti-racist social perspectives. Continues the emphasis on understanding communicative labour as a key site of resistance. Pec/m continues to inform work investigating the historical formation of media forms and institutions. New directions include attentiveness to communication power from a grass-roots historical perspective (m, p. 109) Pec/m has become a globally significant theoretical perspective, both in terms of the scholars doing the work and the integrated global outlook which results from such work. In an era of globalization, pec/m can no longer simply be concerned with western media imperialism.
