Received by me (c/o RGS) from author last month, herewith details of
three of articles which I offer as they might otherwise pass un-noticed.
Two attempts to contact the author (and his Department) thru e-mail have
hitherto failed; this included quizzing him on ISSNs for items 1 & 2
(apart, possibly, for the second neither was identified definitely on
the online /Ulrich’s Periodicals Directory/).

insights / Simon Potter. – /In/: Studies in Media and Culture (Nagoya :
Graduate School of Languages and Cultures, Nagoya University), March
