CALL FOR PAPERS
The Media Communication Interest Group welcomes submission of completed manuscripts, as well as of proposals for both paper sessions and interactive roundtable panels, for ECA’s Annual Conference in Philadelphia, Pa April 7 to 9, 2022. We seek competitive submissions that harbor innovation in the theoretical, pedagogical, and methodological frameworks of media environments, such as traditional platforms; social media networks; new media; cutting-edge mediated-communication; delivery systems; ownership of thematic content; media effects; technological developments; media ethics; mediated images and representations; and regulations, and policies.
At the annual Business Meeting, the Media Communication Interest Group will recognize outstanding scholarship of completed manuscripts for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as of faculty and field practitioners, with top paper awards. This year, we will also provide a new venue to showcase scholarship for the top presentations at program sessions and honor the recipients with top paper panel awards.
Submission Guidelines
Select one interest group or affiliate organization for consideration of each single submission (the same paper may not be submitted to two different interest groups).
