Peer reviews shall be the basis for program development. The Chairperson and Vice Chairperson shall recruit qualified members (e.g., Associate professors with tenure in university settings) of the Journalism Studies Interest Group to review the papers/panel proposals submitted for review. Such qualified members of the Interest Group may indicate their desire to serve as a reviewer at any time. Peer reviewers are required to provide the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson with their blind review ratings and rankings in a timely fashion, given the tight turnaround time for annual program development.
