Hooray! It's OUT. Film Studies For Free has been checking almost every day for a couple of months now because it knew that an amazing issue of Scope: an online journal of film and tv studies -- its TENTH anniversary issue -- was just about to be published. It's here now *Scope* # 15: an issue and an e-book -- see the contents links below -- and contains some fantastic items of film and media studies.
Congratulations to the whole editorial team at Scope, who do a fabulous job. These have been ten great years of remarkably high quality and FREELY ACCESSIBLE scholarly works. Thank you.

Thanks for posting this Catherine. This is really useful that they are offering this as an e-book. The e-book is very well formatted too - which will make it easy to read on an e-reader. Are you aware of any other journals offering issues as e-books?
