We are delighted to announce the publication of A Mixed Picture: Media Transfer and Media Competition in Illustrated Periodicals, 1840s-1960s. Thanks to the support of the Ruhr University Open Monograph Press and our publisher Wehrhahn Verlag (Hannover, Germany), the edited volume with contributions from the 9th ESPRit conference is available both open access (under a CC-BY license) and in print (ISBN: 978-3-98859-051-0; 29,50 €). 

With this final publication, the editors keep committed to an open research policy that has significantly shaped the success of the virtual ESPRit conference in 2021. Selected papers of the conference have already been published OA in a JEPS special issue on the topic of "Periodical Formats in the Market". Finally, the keynote lectures by Will Slauter, Ruth Meyer, and Corinna Norrick-Rühl and most of the conference presentations are still online at the conference website, accessible now also via the ESPRit YouTube channel.
