You are invited to submit a 500-600 word proposal for completed
papers, research in progress or panel discussions for presentation at
the Joint Journalism and Communication History Conference—the American
Journalism Historians Association and the AEJMC History Division joint
spring meeting. Innovative research and ideas from all areas of
journalism and communication history and from all time periods are
welcome. Scholars from all academic disciplines and stages of their
academic careers are encouraged to participate. This conference
offers participants the chance to explore new ideas, garner feedback
on their work, and meet colleagues from around the world interested in
journalism and communication history in a welcoming environment. Your
proposal should include a brief abstract detailing your presentation
topic as well as a compelling rationale why the research is of
interest to an interdisciplinary community of scholars.

All submissions will be uploaded to the Media History Exchange, an
archive and social network funded by the National Endowment of the
Humanities and administered by Elliot King (Loyola University
Maryland), the long-time organizer of this conference.
