“Chin’s work offers some valuable theoretical arguments and empirical insights, and represents a potentially useful resource for future scholars. … it succeeds in describing the ways in which international students (of the developed world) experience migration and media, and how they relate to information and experiences as diverse sources of their discourse, imagination, and identity.” (Peidong Yang, Mobile Media & Communication, Vol. 5 (3), 2017)
