> What is the role of communication in the general situation of capitalist
> crisis?
> The global economic downturn is an indicator of a new worldwide
> capitalist crisis. The main focus of most public debates as well as of
> economic and policy analyses is the role of finance capital and the
> housing market in creating the crisis, less attention is given to the
> role of communication technologies, the media, and culture in the world
> economic crisis. The task of this special issue of tripleC is to present
> analyses of the role of ICTs, the media, and culture in the current
> crisis of capitalism. The seven papers focus on the causes, development,
> and effects of the crisis. Each paper relates one or more of these
> dimensions to ICTs, the media, or culture.
