2011 Robert Picard Award for Books and Monographs

The MME Division is seeking nominations for the 2011 Robert Picard Award to honor the author(s) of a book or a monograph published during the last year (2010) 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 12 to Todd Chambers at Texas Tech University.

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 Eli Noam for his book, Media Ownership and Concentration in America (Oxford University Press, 2009).

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 St. Louis on August 10-13, and the award will be presented at the Media Management and Economics Division's annual business meeting.

Please send nominations to Dr. Todd Chambers, College of Mass Communications, Texas Tech University, MS 3082, Lubbock, Texas 79424. His e-mail address is todd.chambers@ttu.edu.
