YECREA had an email interview with Dr. Michael Skey, a recent PhD graduate, who talked to us about interdisciplinary research and shares lots of PhD experiences and lessons.

YECREA interviewed Esther Chin, Amira Firdaus, Gin Chee Tong and Elias Mokua Nyatete, the Editors of the biannual online postgraduate journal PLATFORM: Journal of Media and Communication. This is a new postgraduate journal, refereed by an international board of established and emerging scholars working across diverse paradigms in Media and Communication, and it aims to encourage sharing and support within and across Media and Communication postgraduate communities worldwide.
YECREA thanks the Editors for all the interesting things they said about this new Journal.

YECREA is currently looking for thematic section representatives and country representatives:

AIMS:

We want to thank all young scholars for the input they have provided in Barcelona.

We have had four very successful meetings with young scholars:

-- A very pleasant informal meeting before the conference at the beautiful Palau de la Música Catalana, which was attended by some 35-40 young scholars;

-- The business meeting where the new board was elected (which also attracted some 35 people, one of the best attended ECREA business meetings);
