It is with sadness that I report the loss of Ole Prehn, the Secretary General of IAMCR. ICA joins ECREA in mourning this loss for our communication community.
We consider his death a profound loss for the field of Media and Communication Studies. Professor Prehn played a major role in international academic cooperation in the field of media and communication studies and he was a dedicated and much-valued colleague. Because we learned of the terrible news just after the opening of the 2nd European Communication Conference that is taking place this week in Barcelona, we will use the opportunity of the closing ceremony, Friday evening, to mourn his passing and pay tribute to his memory.
Our sincere condolences to Ole Prehn's family, friends and colleagues.
