Abstract

This article advocates greater collaboration between media studies and mobility studies. After exploring the ways that media can be immobile, mobile and ambient, it examines how each field has incorporated the other. The article then presents two US case studies, the portable radio and in-car media, to demonstrate that modern electronic media have long possessed a mobile capacity. This leads to a final discussion about the role of media in fostering relations between people and built environments with their varying degrees of mobility.
