DEADLINE EXTENDED to Oct. 12 for abstracts of papers responding to initiative on journalism, citizenship and democracy
Abstracts are due Oct. 12
The call says the reviewers, led by COMJIG member Jack Rosenberry, will be "particularly interested in papers that develop and test a new curriculum, or experiment with a practice innovation in the newsroom or in other media."
The call is a result of an initiative by the Kettering Foundation that convened a select group of journalism educators to discuss how service to democracy can play a larger role in journalism education.
As Jack said in a Sept. 9 message to COMJIG members, the call is "focused on journalism that helps communities to recognize their shared problems and act on them. Our goal is to develop innovative ideas for meaningful changes in journalism education."
Interested scholars are invited to submit, by Sept. 19, abstracts of no more than 1,500 words that clearly state: (1) The objective of the work and its relevance to the topic of how journalism can address problems of democracy by helping foster the process of citizens working together to solve shared public problems; (2) The methods that will be used to examine the question or topic; (3) What the project is expected to discover; and (4) What will be the expected significance of the work.
Abstracts will undergo peer review and up to 20 proposals will be selected for
researchers to turn into full papers by April 2016. Top papers as selected by
further peer review will be presented at the 2016 AEJMC conference in
Minneapolis and also appear in Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly. The
very top papers will earn cash awards.
Full details of the research call, including the process for
submitting the abstracts, can be found at http://www.aejmc.org/home/2015/07/citizenship-democracy/.

Call for Papers: April 1 fast approaching
Just a reminder of the call for papers for AEJMC (we also still need a few reviewers)
http://www.aejmcstlouis.org/home/archives/771
The Community Journalism Interest Group (COMJIG) is interested in research focused on any and all aspects of community journalism. We emphasize that community need not just be defined as within traditional geographical or social boundaries, but that given technological advances it may also be applied to journalism and its relationship to communities of interest online.
Our goal is to identify and present original, meaningful research that advances the understanding of the role of journalists and news organizations as members of communities, geographic or digital. We have particular interest in issues unique to those situations where as a function of geography or technology the community and news organization tend to be or have the potential to become highly engaged. Quantitative and qualitative methods are equally welcomed, as are attempts at mixed methodology. Theoretical groundings are appreciated. Only serious and complete research-based studies will be considered. Do not submit opinion essays, incomplete pilot studies, literature reviews, or other incomplete or unscholarly works.
Papers should be a maximum of 7,500 words long (about 25-pages, double-spaced) and adhere to APA or Chicago citation style. Please provide a running title on each page and include an abstract of no more than 75 words.
In evaluating papers for research presentations, COMJIG makes no distinction between faculty and graduate student work.
COMJIG encourages graduate student submissions in its Top Student Paper competition. To be considered for the competition, papers must be wholly the work of students. The author(s) of the top student paper will receive a $100 award and a certificate.
Likewise, COMJIG encourages faculty submissions in its Top Faculty Paper competition. To be considered for the competition, papers must be wholly the work of faculty. The author(s) of the top faculty paper also receives a $100 award and a certificate.
For more information, contact COMJIG Research Chair John Hatcher by e-mail (jhatcher@d.umn.edu) or telephone (218-726-7325).

Proposal Call for COMJIG conference in St. Louis
The Community Journalism Interest Group (COMJIG) is accepting panel proposals for the 2011 AEJMC Conference in St. Louis, Aug. 10-13.
Proposals should consider that COMJIG defines community as more than just geographically centered. Community may also refer to social characteristics such as interest, ethnicity, culture, religion and occupation. Also remember that community journalism includes print, broadcast, online, etc.
Proposals are due Friday, Oct. 22.
Panel proposals must include:
1. A working title and panel description.
2. A statement of whether the panel would be a Teaching, Research or Professional Freedom and Responsibility panel. PF&R panels focus on free expression, ethics, media criticism and accountability, racial/gender/cultural inclusiveness or public service.
3. Suggestions for divisions or interest groups that might be interested in co-sponsoring the panel. For ideas on co-sponsoring opportunities, there is a list of divisions and groups at www.aejmc.com/?page_id=190.
4. A statement of why the topic is important and a brief description of issues the panelists could discuss (no more than a few hundred words, please). NOTE: If your panel is chosen for presentation with a co-sponsoring division or interest group, you will work with a representative from the co-sponsor to make sure that the interests of both divisions/interest groups are represented on the panel.
5. Names and institutional affiliations of possible panelists.
6. Your name, mailing address, phone number and e-mail address.
Send panel proposals by Oct. 22 to Joe Marren, COMJIG program chair, at marrenjj@buffalostate.edu
If you have questions, contact Joe Marren by e-mail or phone (716-878-3794).

Pardon the Repeat, but ...
Please excuse the reposting, but the call for papers will go out soon and I need judges.
COMJIG is up for renewal next year and we'd really like to make a strong showing on research at the AEJMC Denver conference in 2010.
To that end, please consider submitting a research paper proposal for presentation at the annual convention.
Along those same lines, if we can generate strong interest in research papers, we need interested judges. Anyone who can spare a few moments to help nurture a paper through the process is asked to please contact research chair Joe Marren at marrenjj@buffalostate.edu
Thanks for your time and consideration
