Mass Communication Division
The International Communication Association 2011 conference submission site is now accepting papers. The call for papers can be found on the ICA website (www.icahdq.org). Please read the call carefully. The information specific to the Mass Communication Division begins on page 27.
When you submit a paper or panel proposal you will have an opportunity to sign up to help with reviews. Please sign up when you get a chance. You will provide a valuable service to the division and your fellow members. You might think in advance about the topical and methodological areas you wish to indicate for reviews.
If you are submitting a paper proposal, you will be asked about the format in which you prefer to present the paper (if accepted). The options will be "in a regular paper session," in "an interactive paper (poster) session," or in the "virtual overlay conference." You may indicate one, two, or three of those options. The virtual overlay conference is explained on page 7 of the call for papers.
David and I hope that the submissions this year will reflect the diversity of topics, theory, and method our division members use in their research. There is a lot of great work in our area, and we hope ICA is the place we go to see the breadth of our field.
If you have any questions about the submission process this year, please let me know.
I hope to see you in Boston.
