The general paper call is on the AEJMC website. You can find specifics for the History Division by following the Calls link in the menu bar above.

The History Division set the following goals for 2012:

• Expand the Media History Exchange (MHX) platform as a site for social networking, paper submission and judging, and archiving scholarship.
• Cultivate a network of members willing to share their expertise, ideas, inspiration or strategies in teaching media history in mentoring others new to the field.
• Develop ways of attracting young scholars and growing our membership.
• Increase the amount of member-generated content in the Division’s newsletter, Clio.
• Identify and explain what it means to be a History Division member and the breadth and depth of our scholarship.
• Articulate to a broad public the importance of historical knowledge in thinking about and solving contemporary problems of journalism, media and communication.
• Support the growth and stability of the Joint Journalism and Communication History Conference, as well as other opportunities for presentations of scholarship.
• Broaden the History Division’s conference programming to serve the interests of both the Division’s membership and AEJMC’s broader membership.
• Promote the Division’s tradition of organizing high-quality research, teaching and PF&R panels for the 2013 conference.
