Despite origins dating at least to newspapers published for British citizens in colonial America, the global repercussions of media targeting national audiences beyond national borders remain substantially unexplored. Unanswered are the questions of what repercussions expatriate media has on global citizenship; whether these publications facilitate adhesion to a parochial national identity, despite distance, or create a new form of national belonging; and how newspapers establish narratives of cultural and political coherence abroad. Papers welcome on texts or news sources from any medium or period that connect immigrant or expatriate communities to their homeland. For example, colonial gazettes, interwar dailies, or contemporary broadcast media for emigrants. Please send 300-word abstracts by 10 March 2017 to Nissa Cannon (ncannon@umail.ucsb.edu).
