Call for Paper Abstracts
The WJEC is inviting academic paper abstracts related to any aspect of journalism and journalism education for presentation as refereed research papers at the conference.
Papers focusing on opportunities and challenges facing the industry in an age of radical change are especially encouraged. Such topics could include, but are not restricted to: new media technology; democratization; journalism values and ethics; entrepreneurial approaches; and journalism curricula. Comparative studies related to the above topics are welcomed.
Interested presenters should electronically submit abstracts only (minimum 500 words) by December 1, 2009. All submissions will be blind-reviewed by a panel of international judges. Paper selections will be finalized by January 15, 2010 and presenters will be informed accordingly. Full papers and registration fees are due by April 30, 2010. (More details on the abstract submission process will be made available soon.)
E-mail questions or inquiries to the paper competition chair, Elanie Steyn, at: elanie@ou.edu.
Accepted papers will be presented as research presentations or as part of panel sessions related to the topics as mentioned above.
