2010 AEJMC Midwinter Conference Paper Call

The AEJMC Midwinter Conference is an annual forum for the presentation of research and debate in areas relevant to the 12 AEJMC groups (divisions, interest groups and commissions) sponsoring the event. It follows a rather informal structure that allows for presentations and extended discussions in a relaxed setting. The upcoming conference is scheduled for March 5-7, 2010 at the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication (University of Oklahoma) in Norman, Oklahoma. The location offers participants many winter diversions outside the conference activities, including world-class museums and art galleries.

Please see complete Paper Abstract and Panel Proposal Call for more details and how to make a submission.

For additional questions about submissions to GEIG, please contact research co-chair, Erica Salkin, University of Wisconsin-Madison, salkin@wisc.edu

The rebirth of the GEIG Web site

After careful consideration, we are reinventing the manner in which GEIG communicates with its members. In addition, we hope to establish the GEIG Web site as a resource for all graduate students in the field of journalism and mass communication. If you have any suggestions on ways in which we can do this, please let us know by leaving a comment below!
