Abstract:
〈span〉〈span〉This collection of original articles sits at the intersection of two interdisciplinary fields: media studies and aging studies. Drawing on both scholarly literatures, we explore the reciprocal influences of aging and mediation in the realms of music, television, celebrity, fandom, social media, film, and advertising/marketing, among others. 〈/span〉〈/span〉〈br /〉〈span〉〈span〉 〈/span〉〈/span〉
