As you mentioned in your question, this is due to the italic shape. This is simply how the & symbol renders in the selected font in italic.

Solution

You can force the use of upright shape this way:

journal={NMEDIAC: Journal of New Media {\upshape\&} Culture},

Here is a comparison using this solution: enter image description here

Opinion

You should probably not modify the font because it is proper to the bibliography style that you are using.

Any way, enjoy!
