Call for Papers for the 2009 National Convention The Media Management & Economics Division invites original research paper submissions to be considered for presentation at the 2009 AEJMC convention in Boston, MA, August 5-8, 2009. Researchers interested in any aspect of media management or media economics are encouraged to submit papers. The division welcomes the use of diverse theoretical and methodological approaches to relevant topics. Papers presented at the Midwinter Conference and then revised are also welcome for submission. Faculty and student papers compete on an equal footing. The division gives named awards to recognize the top three submissions from faculty, and the top three from graduate students (faculty members cannot be included on student competition papers). Top graduate papers also receive monetary awards to help offset the cost of attending the convention. Examples of relevant topics in media management and economics are: analysis of economic or management questions affecting media firms; historical discussions of interesting and important developments in the field; policy issues from a legal, regulatory or economic perspective; technology and its effects on management or economics; political economy; effects of changes in the environment where media firms operate; international and cross-cultural studies; the sociology and culture of media organizations; teaching media management and economics; and all other relevant topics. Paper submissions should be a maximum of 25 pages, excluding references and tables. All papers must be submitted electronically at the AEJMC website to access the All Academic website available via the AEJMC website link. All submissions must follow the guidelines for the uniform call for all paper competitions. For questions about submissions, contact Todd Chambers, Texas Tech University by e-mailing todd.chambers@ttu.edu. Chambers can also be reached by telephone at (806) 742-3385, ext. 240. |
