Net Neutrality| Working for Internet Freedoms: Network Neutrality in the United States and the Labors of Policy Advocacy—Introduction

Becky Lentz, Allison Perlman

Abstract


This introduction discusses the rationales for this IJoC Special Section. It also provides an overview of the contributions to the Special Section. In our call for contributions, we indicated that our goal was “to provide an interdisciplinary look at the many labors of media advocacy and to foreground the ‘how’ and the ‘why’ of how media advocacy operates.” This Special Section, we believe, makes a vital contribution regarding these issues, with strengths being the methodologically diverse approaches taken by our contributors and the variety of questions that inform their work.
