Children, Adolescents, and the Media Call:

The Children, Adolescents, and the Media (CAM) Interest Group welcomes paper submissions and panel proposals that concern the role of media in the lives of children and young people. CAM aims to cover all media and technologies aimed at and/or used by children and young people. CAM's orientation is interdisciplinary: It attempts to contribute to communication theory, but also to psychological, sociological, and critical theories. CAM's approach is multimethodological: It welcomes all theoretical and empirical studies based on quantitative and qualitative research methods.

Only completed papers within the ICA limit of 25 pages (excluding references and tables; with 12-point font, double-spaced, 1-inch margins) will be considered. Panel proposals should include a rationale for the panel (400-word maximum), as well as abstracts of each participant's contribution (150-word maximum). All submissions will be judged based on interest group relevance, theoretical significance, research quality, contribution of findings, and quality of writing. All submissions must be made online (http://www.icahdq.org) no later than 11 pm EST, 1 November 2011.

Early submissions are strongly encouraged. Submitters can withdraw or edit their submissions until 1 November. All presenters must plan to attend the conference if their work is accepted.
