The MME Division is seeking nominations for the 2008 Robert Picard Award to honor the author(s) of a book or a monograph published during the last year (2007) that makes a significant contribution to the field of media management and economics.

The Division’s Named Awards Committee selects the winner. Nominations should be submitted by May 16 to Cindy Price at the University of Wyoming.

The award is named in honor of Division member and senior scholar Robert Picard of the Jönköping International Business School. Last year’s Picard award winner was “Webcasting Worldwide: Business Models of an Emerging Global Medium” edited by Louisa S. Ha and Richard J. Ganahl III (2007) and published by Lawrence Erlbaum Associates.

AEJMC members are invited to nominate books or monographs for the award. Self-nominations are acceptable. To nominate a work provide the following:

A written nomination with a complete citation (title, author, publisher, and year of publication of the book) and a short statement on the book’s contribution to the field of media management and economics.
Three copies of the work, whether book or monograph.

The winner of the award will be notified before the AEJMC annual convention in Chicago on August 6-9, and the award will be presented at the Media Management and Economics Division’s annual meeting on Thursday, August 7.
