About
Rough Draft: Media, Creativity and SocietyA journal focusing on the interplay between media, creativity and society
Note from the editor
Rough Draft, an online publication supported by the FCAD One Ten, Ryerson University’s creative incubator, and the Masters of Media Production, is a space for creative entrepreneurs, scholars and practitioners to share their works and their reflections. It was born out of the realization that the usual peer-reviewed academic journal cycle does not align with the fast-paced rhythm of innovations. Rough Draft, as the name suggests, is designed as a space where ideas can be tried out, iterated and discussed. Questions? Want to contribute? roughdraft@ryerson.ca
