technologies, mobile phones not only serve as a distribution platform, but also enable content production
and consumption anytime, anywhere. Juxtaposed with the engagement of social media, the extent and
effects of mobile communications are amplified, for instance through the use of Twitter, Facebook and
YouTube in U.S. and Iran elections, as well as in the demonstration for religious freedom by Uighur
Muslims in China. In addition, we combine innovation with tradition by expanding the perspective to
expose global mobile scholars to ICTD within the Asian research context to take advantage of the

While the rapidly expanding body of crisis communication research is impressive, there are still
significant gaps in our understanding of the topic. The crisis communication research has emphasized the
study of crisis response strategies, what managers say and do after a crisis hits. Clearly there is a need to
understand the crisis response, however, the antecedents of crisis communication have been largely
neglected. Crisis antecedents include prevention, preparation, and appreciation of the variables that can
shape later crisis responses. The preconference addresses the need for crisis antecedent research. A
collection of international scholars will outline an agenda for research in crisis antecedents. The panelists
will stimulate discussion by focusing on particular aspects of crisis antecedents. Participants will be part
of the discussion for building a more detailed agenda. The outcome of the preconference will be a
specific agenda for advancing crisis antecedent research including topics, methods, and potential research
partnerships.

This preconference aims to showcase new scholarly work examining definitional, operational and practical
issues related to the study of new forms of social capital, with particular emphasis on case studies and
applications beyond the US context. The proliferation of social media, online games and other platforms for
online and mobile socializing suggests an increased importance of communication research for the study of
social capital and its implications. The aim of this preconference is to promote research into new forms of
social capital and examine technological affordances of different social media platforms. Furthermore, we
invite submissions examining the emerging hybrid forms of informal sociability, and discussing the
(continued) importance of physical proximity and face-to-face contact for the creation and maintenance of
different forms of social capital.

Media literacy education has been developing rapidly in Asia, with substantial exploration of this field by
scholars and practitioners. Several universities in China now offer graduate degrees in media literacy
education. In South Korea, there is significant government support for media literacy education. In Hong
Kong, the government recently funded a large-scale research project to determine the impact of media
literacy education on youth attitudes, knowledge and behavior. The Singaporean government has
mandated media literacy as well. How is media literacy education being conceptualized in Asian nations?
What are the unique characteristics that distinguish the motivation to practice media literacy education in
China, South Korea and Hong Kong? What are the opportunities and challenges that media literacy
educators face in these nations?

This panel takes advantage of the international setting to explore how diverse cultural perspectives impact
communication with publics. One must assume each society/culture would have something to offer to
public relations, and these contributions do not have to be overlaid on contemporary Western public
relations as a baseline, e.g., two-way symmetry. Panelists will explore alternative visions of the role of
public relations in society that bring contributions from indigenous cultures and will discuss applications
to global public relations, strategic communication and public diplomacy.

The 'Chindia' Challenge to Global Communication
Daya Thussu, U of Westminster, UNITED KINGDOM
The transformation of communication and media in China and India - the world's two most populous
countries and fastest growing economies - has profound implications for what constitutes the 'global'.
Jairam Ramesh, currently India's Environment Minister, is credited with the notion of 'Chindia',
representing what has been termed as the 'rise of the rest'. The combined economic and cultural impact of
'Chindia', aided by their worldwide diasporas, is creating globalization with an Asian accent, a
phenomenon that is likely to influence globalized media and its study. Though both countries have
experienced different trajectories of growth in recent decades and represent two distinct political and
media systems, they also demonstrate interesting similarities. The rise of 'Chindia' offers exciting
opportunities as well as challenges to media and communication researchers. This preconference aims to
bring together scholars from around the world, especially from China and India, to examine and explore
this phenomenon.

The processes of digitization and deregulation have transformed the production, distribution and
consumption of information and entertainment media over the past three decades. Today, researchers are
confronted with profoundly different landscapes of domestic and personal media than the pioneers of
qualitative audience research that came to form much of the conceptual basis of Cultural Studies first in
Britain and North America and subsequently across all global regions. The process of media convergence,
as a consequence of the dual forces of digitisation and deregulation, thus constitutes a central concept in
the analysis of popular mass media. From the study of the internationalisation and globalisation of media
content, changing regimes of media production, via the social shaping and communication technologies
and conversely the impact of communication technology on social, cultural and political realities, to the
emergence of transmedia storytelling, the interplay of intertextuality and genre and the formation of
mediated social networks, convergence informs and shapes contemporary conceptual debates in the field
of popular communication and beyond. However, media convergence challenges not only the conceptual
canon of (popular) communication research, but poses profound methodological challenges. As
boundaries between producers and consumers are increasingly fluent, formerly stable fields and categories
of research such as industries, texts and audiences intersect and overlap, requiring combined and new
research strategies. This preconference aims to offer a forum for the presentation and discussion of
methodological innovations in the study of contemporary media and the analysis of the social, cultural
and political impact and challenges arising through media convergence.

Exciting potential intersections are emerging between research into communications and culture and
theoretical work on political norms. Alongside well-known experiments with new forms of public
deliberation and debates on the public sphere in the 1990s and 2000s, there has been much new work in
political theory that rethinks the reference-points of political practice (Fraser, Benhabib and so on).
Meanwhile, researchers in cultural studies and communications have become increasingly interested not
only in questions of citizenship and democracy in general, but specifically in the role that popular culture
and everyday communications play in helping us imagine, enact and sustain the new forms of practice that
political theory proposes, for example the work of Lauren Berlant, Michael Warner, Henry Jenkins and
the current CRN-funded 'Listening Project' in Australia.This preconference seeks to bring together
researchers and communication practitioners interested in how cultural research can invigorate political
theory, and vice versa, around the specific focus of defining the terms and means of contemporary
politics within and beyond the horizon of neoliberalism.

Women are increasingly filling "gaps" by formally and informally acquiring such skills and sliding in and
out of various work contexts. Such women's labor is termed as "precarious labor" by feminists examining
these issues. Precarious labor draws on notions of immaterial, free, digital and consumer labor articulated
by scholars such as Negri and Hardt. Such workers play a crucial role in helping the transition to
"globalization" in various ways. They help develop global labor practices and co-create communicative
processes and work environments.Capitalizing on ICA's location for 2010 conference (Singapore) which
is potentially accessible to representatives of women and men who work in such environments in the
Global South, we would like that this preconference brings together researchers, practitioners and activists
who work on issues related to Women's Labor from the Global South.

Sponsored by the Language and Social Interaction Division and the Intercultural Communication
Division, this day-long preconference serves as a follow-up and continuation of the 2009 NCA Summer
Conference on Intercultural Dialogue held in Istanbul, Turkey. Scholars throughout the world who study
issues related to intercultural communication often use a variety of terms and terminology that are specific
to a particular geographic area and disciplinary history. In order to cross cultural boundaries and dialogue
about these issues, it is essential that we understand one another's terms. In this preconference, we will
examine real intercultural communication encounters in an effort to establish and define the key terms that
international scholars use to understand these dialogues.

We have more opportunities to communicate than ever before in the history of Homo sapiens. This is the
elementary fact that I am referring to with the word "hyper-communication," and I refrain from saying
that hyper-communication is either a very good or a very bad thing. The frequency with which we talk to
other persons face-to-face, that is in mutual physical presence, has most likely not increased - but it has
probably also not dramatically declined during the past decades. If we have more opportunities to
communicate than ever before, in the sense of conducting interactions based on the use of natural
languages, then this increase is clearly a function of technical devices whose effects neutralize the
consequences of physical and sometimes also of temporal distance. Some of us old ones feel that this is
simply too much - and that, at the same time, it is not enough presence. If the process of Modernity has
largely been a process of disenchantment, we have now written "Rational Re-enchantment" on our
revolutionary banners. But I am fully aware that this is but another Gray Panthers' revolution.

Regulatory Power? How Evidence Can Help Balance Contrary Pressures on Public Policy in the Case of
Junk Food Advertising to Children
Sonia Livingstone, London School of Economics, UNITED KINGDOM
Respondent
Sandra L. Calvert, Georgetown U, USA
The media are often blamed for the worldwide crisis of overweight and obese children. However, media
can also be a positive force in curbing the obesity epidemic. This roundtable discussion addresses the
question of how we can use and regulate the media to tip the balance in children's energy intake and
expenditure. Based on Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems model, participants bring various levels of
expertise to frame how media can be used and regulated at a: (1) micro level by parents (e.g., advertising
mediation, consumer communication), (2) meso level by media presentations and marketing approaches
(e.g., advergames, exergames, characters), and (3) macro level (e.g., social policy). After short
presentations by the panelists, Professor Sandra Calvert will integrate the findings of the differing levels
of environmental factors and discuss other levers to curb the obesity crisis. The audience will then be
invited to contribute to the discussion.

Diana Ingenhoff, U of Fribourg, SWITZERLAND
Trust and reputation are becoming increasingly important as central concepts of Public Relations
Research. Under the conditions of a Media Society, increasing importance is attached, especially, to
public trust, understood as the attribution of trust or distrust by public communications to persons,
organizations, institutions and systems exposed to public perception. Strong trust and reputation effects
can be observed especially in times of crisis. The aim of this panel is to create a rationale for the
fundamental significance of trust and reputation for business organizations on the basis of new theoretical
concepts and empirical research. It will show how the current financial crisis affects trust in organizations,
how it influences their reputation and the role the media play within these processes. The panel intends to
broaden the discussion about trust and reputation from the perspective of Public Relations and Crisis
Communication Research.

Media Convergence: An Old, Old Story
Toby Miller, U of California – Riverside, USA
Over the first decade of the 21st century there has been a growing perception that we live in an era of
media "convergence," and what Henry Jenkins and his followers have termed a "convergence culture."
There are at least four ways that the expression "convergence" has been deployed and its meaning
solidified-as a description of new synergy (a "horizontal" realignment) among media companies and
industries, as the multiplication of "platforms" for news and information, as a technological hybridity that
has folded the uses of separate media into one another (e.g., watching a television broadcast on a cell
phone), and as a new media aesthetic involving the mixing of documentary and non-documentary forms.
This Roundtable raises questions about and provides alternatives to these recent conceptions of
"convergence culture." It is particularly skeptical about the overuse of the term and the limited ways that
accounts of the term have conceptualized "convergence" and "culture" It seeks to demonstrate how the
term 'convergence culture' is capable of carrying a range of meanings that have not as yet been fully
mapped.

This panel presents findings from the first wave of the German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES)
which was conducted during the 2009 German national election campaign. The focus hereby lies on
theoretical and methodological innovations in campaign research. While the first two papers analyze how
televised ads affected the evaluations of candidates and issues laying a focus on the distinction between
personalized and not-personalized TV ads, the other two papers analyze the effects of televised debates
giving special attention to the stability of effects over time and to the state of involvement on the
recipients' side. The papers base on data which were gathered with different methods (content analysis,
survey data, continuous response measurements) within the GLES. This combination of data sources
allows the examination of the mentioned research questions with appropriate strategies of analysis in
order to help to expand the state of research on effects of campaign communication.

From the regulatory perspective, while technology is bringing telecommunications, broadcasting and the
Internet closer together, the laws and regulations for each sector become outdated. Therefore, there are
discussions about whether to revise the laws separately or to integrate all the relevant laws. In addition to
revising the relevant laws, there are also discussions about the necessities of integrating the regulators.
China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan all have converged services such as IPTV. However,
Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan have not granted mobile TV licenses after their public consultations.
The panel will discuss the converged services' challenges to the current telecommunications laws and
broadcasting laws and the relevant regulators by citing experiences from China, Hong Kong, Japan,
Singapore, and Taiwan.

Toyoko Sato, Copenhagen Business School, DENMARK
Nonfiction image discourses in contemporary society present visual scholarship with some of the most
interesting challenges both in terms of analyzing and making sense of it. The hybridization of non-fiction
and its amalgamation with fictional genres and approaches constantly forces us to revisit customary
distinctions and their broader impact. Loaded (or 'burdened') with a host of expectations and implicit
norms of traditional documentary forms contemporary hybrid forms of 'factual' based discourses, visual
practitioners don't seem to be that bothered about crossing borders between fiction and non-fiction.
Furthermore new technologies, converging media and an ever increasing hybridization of genres and
subgenres continue to force researchers to revisit their positions and insights. This panel examines new
forms and borderline cases of non-fiction with the aim to address new forms of visual communication and
their impact on both society and visual scholarship.

Respondent
Nagesh Rao, Ohio U, USA
This panel explores the constitutive role of media in re-defining the complex relationship between the
politics of participation, citizenship, consumption, and self-expression in various contexts (from the war
in Iraq, to television industry in India and Turkey, and radio soap opera in India). Within the often
contradictory and always dynamic spaces of globalization, the politics of participation and representation
are integrated into various discourses of nationalism, national security, commercial logic, entertainment,
or counterpublics. By discussing the politics of participation in the production process of various media
forms (personal videos, television programs, and the radio soap opera) the panel explores the complex
relationship between production and consumption, audience as the "citizen-subject" and audience as the
subject of "national culture".

This working roundtable will explore the theoretical and empirical aspects of developing cross-national
and cross-cultural research on women and media, the difficulties that may arise when different contexts
are compared, data collection methods that have been (or might be) tried, and the potential applications of
findings that may emerge from collaborative projects. The session will be led by two international
scholars who developed their own working relationship in a recent cross-cultural study on women and
media. The three-part structured discussion will follow this format: I. Macro concerns (e.g.,
globalization) with respect to women and media. Question: How should research situate women when
examining major changes such as concentration of ownership, globalization of industries, and smaller
work forces within media industries? (Leader: C. Mellado) II. Culture, language, and politics in crossnational gender research. Question: How can research designs accommodate challenges related to
cultural and other differences among the countries being studied? (Leader: C. Byerly) III. Funding and
managing the cross-cultural study. Question: What are the practical considerations of raising funds and
coordinating collaborative research on women and media among researchers in several nations? (Leaders:
C. Byerly & C. Mellado)

This panel explores the uses of Web 2.0 technologies in higher education teaching and learning. Its four
papers explore emerging Web 2.0 pedagogies in tertiary education and address particular political,
cultural and technological challenges. Discourses emerging around new media technologies have
precipitated parallel conversations in ideas of learning and teaching — the Web 2.0 label is mirrored in
ideas of Education 2.0 (Keats & Schmidt 2007) or Media Studies 2.0 (Gauntlett 2009, Dovey & Lister
2009, Merrin 2009) which reconfigure pedagogical approaches to incorporate more participatory models.
As audiences become users and readers become writers, educators need to rethink graduate capabilities to
confront new digital literacies.

This panel examines health practitioner-client communication arguing that the intergroup nature of such
interactions creates challenges for such communication to be effective. The four papers use a range of
methodologies to explore what is effective health practitioner-client communication with an emphasis on
the client voice. The panel explores the problems experienced in health practitioner-client communication
and the potential impact of these problems. The papers then examine the implications of their findings for
training in health practitioner communication. The papers illustrate the value that different theoretical and
methodological approaches can provide in increasing our understanding of health practitioner-client
communication.

The aim of this panel is to provide a number of theoretical, historical and empirical contributions
examining and analysing the global media's coverage of the international financial and economic crisis
and the framing of the interpretative debate on the causes. The global financial crisis 2007-2009 exposed
the fragility of the world economic system and the downside of globalisation. The worst economic
downturn since World War II led to unprecedented intervention by governments in propping up the
financial system and the world economy, with new forms of global economic governance emerging. How
well did the media cope with the emerging crisis? Using comparative data gathered from a number of
countries media content, the papers comprising this panel attempt to asses how well the ideals
underpinning journalistic and news media practices were upheld during the period of the crisis.

The Transnational Communication of "Racism": Migration, Media and the Shaping of International
Relations
Ien Ang, U of Western Sydney, AUSTRALIA
The past two years has seen an escalating diplomatic row between India and Australia over a series
attacks on Indian students in Australia. While Indian media were quick to report these attacks as "racist",
official responses in Australia tended to downplay the occurrence of racial motivations in these attacks.
This to-and-fro dance of accusation and denial of "racism" has resulted in a spiral of signification which
has sharpened national cultural divides. The case study shows how the complex entanglement of cultural
nationalism and transnational mobility is mediated through inherited discourses of race and "racism", in a
time when (post)colonial power hierarchies are being unsettled in a rapidly changing world, especially in
the Asia Pacific region.

The topic of this panel is the identity of journalism in a changing communication environment. Since the
proliferation and dissemination of new communication roles in the World Wide Web many researchers
and journalists have asked the question what the future of traditional journalism will be and if there is a
future in the first place. The panelists will address this general issue from different viewpoints and based
on different evidence of their own. The papers focus on the relationship between journalists and the
audience within Web 2.0, the changing role definitions and role perceptions of journalists and its
consequences, especially concerning the core competence and function of journalism, and to the real
interaction between traditional journalism and Internet sources. The panel wants to develop a theoretical
and practical framework for the future of journalism.

critical reflection upon some of the distinctive features of the field as it has developed in the two, and
some of the current developments and future challenges facing communications research in the region.
Issues to be considered include: the institutional location of communication studies teaching and research;
the impact of cultural studies on the field; shifting forms of research support; the question of
"vocationalism" and links to industry and government; the difficulties in getting "local" research
recognized in international circuits of knowledge production and distribution; and the relationship of
communication to relations between indigenous and settler populations.

Public relations as a field is interested in impressions that shape interaction and collaboration, and these
are often formed on the basis of affect and emotions. The level of public involvement in organizational
affairs is changing with the introduction of various social media, and publics today do not only want to
participate, but show and express emotion for better or worse. This places new pressures on public
relations practitioners, who in this emotion work- environment have to balance not only their own but the
emotions of different stakeholders in good times and crises. This international panel studies the timely
topic of emotions in the context of public relations from four angles: practitioners' pressures, stakeholders'
emotions, crises situations coping strategies and the rhetoric level of emotions as part of the message. The
panel suggests public relations to play a key role in organizational survival in the era of heightened
emotions.

This panel explores the concept of 'affective' or 'immaterial' labor—increasingly claimed as the
predominant mode of postindustrial work, as shaping new forms of value and political subjectivities—by
focusing on its implications for gender and race at the present moment. Featuring new work within
communication and cultural studies, the papers on the panel each examine a specific case of the 'racing'
and/or 'gendering' of affective labor—the work of online raters that produces 'digital reputation,' female
information professionals, contestants on America's Next Top Model, and African American consumers
of the Cadillac—to explore the implications of affective labor for continuing struggles over race and/or
gender as well as the limits both theoretical and political of the concept as they are revealed in the details
of such examinations. Given its thematic focus on race and gender concerns, the panel seeks cosponsorship by the Ethnicity and Race in Communication and Feminist Studies divisions of ICA.

This panel explores the ways in which recent developments in commercial broadcasting shape emerging
representations of the nation and national identity and belonging. It explores the impact that the marketing
of nationalism has on commercial broadcasting and, in turn the influence that commercialism has on the
portrayal of national identity. It argues for the salience of the notion of "commercial nationalism" in
considering media developments in the post-cold war era. Drawing on international case studies it argues
that an understanding of commercial nationalism is crucial to an interpretation of the political and cultural
implications of recent developments in broadcasting in many parts of the world, including regions where
state and public interest broadcasters have ceded the ideological field to commercial interests.

The emergence of international magazines in Asia has been driven by global brands in need of advertising
vehicles to help them establish a brand presence in emerging markets with high economic growth. These
global magazines attract a large percentage of the advertising revenue in these markets, and thus local
magazines must now compete for advertising dollars with the global media. This panel will explore the
growth of men's and women's fashion magazines in selected Asian countries. Specifically, panelists will
examine the types of images being shown to Asian audiences and the types of products being advertised
in international as well as local magazines. By calling on a panel of scholars from Japan, Korea, and
Taiwan we hope to offer insights into how magazine advertising is shaping consumer culture in this
region.

In the tradition of Mumford's examination of the city, McLuhan's theme of media determinism, and
Meyrowitz's consideration of the home and the influence of media technologies on social spaces, this
panel will examine the city as an environment of communication. Cities, by definition, provide a
communication environment. Physical spaces in a city, the structures and spaces in which humans
function and dwell constitutes and facilitates the domain for symbolic and social interaction. The
electronic, typographical, auditory and/or visual connection and dissemination of information are the
environments of connection and transmission. The physical urban environment and the media
environment comprise the total communication environment. This panel seeks to explore the totality of
that environment and its ecological nature.

Communication in China entered a new stage and underwent major transformations since the beginning of
China's "open and reform" policy three decades ago. The tempo and scale of changes in the
communication scene intensified in the past decade as the political reform was joined by the forces of
globalization and new media developments which have brought about more changes in the social and
cultural dimensions. This panel gathers a number of recent studies in communication in China to
showcase communication research in China today. Of the themes covered include the following: trends in
international communication research; developments and features of mobile newspapers (e-news); the
Internet and political participation; media and social class identity; and glocalization and global reach of
CCTV.

Including the advancement of IT, Mobile is transformed into lifestyle infrastructure. In this Session, we
consider the social and cultural implication of media convergence with respect to mobile phone usage of
Japanese youth from the diverse points of view. Widely known around the world for the views of
collectivism, Japan is generally regarded as one of the most group-oriented culture in the world. However,
it would seem that these kinds of image of Japanese are quickly slipping among the Japanese youth,
meaning they are more like individualized and intend to be aloof. Participants of this session use the
results of nation-wide surveys conducted respectively to explore the associations between the Japanese
youths' culture including social psychology and networking and the engagement of mobile
communication. We will also discuss how we can develop the theoretical framework to draw the
relationship for more cross-cultural based research.

This panel will discuss new formations of civic identity in the contextual framework of transnational
public spaces. In the advanced stage of a networked global public, civic identity is constantly
discoursively re-negotiated and re-conceptualised, not so much vis- a- vis a national or even a 'global'
public but rather across often ritualised sets of 'publics of belonging.' Presentations will address this
concept in four perspectives: the translocal communicative negotiation of civic identity among Arab
communities in Europe, forms of 'communicative' civic belongings through the lens of ''ontological
security" and identify new communicative cultures of diaspora, emerging generational specific
transnational publics in their relevance for the formation of global and local citizenship. The panel
presentations will conclude with a debate of new conceptions of civic literacy.

Respondent
Michael S. Griffin, Macalester College, USA
The representation of crowds has a long and complicated political history. Crowds are representative of a
variety of different aggregate political or social groupings: they can represent "the people" of popular
sovereignty, the public, a social movement, a protest, a congregation, an audience of popular
entertainment, or a mob. As a result, the manner in which collectives are represented in visual mass media
has consequences for the judgments that public audiences pass on particular crowds, enabling or
constraining individual participation in collective political action. This panel examines this tension and
others by analyzing Jackson-era political cartoons, 1960s and contemporary music festivals, and the 2008
U.S. presidential election. The overall goal is to understand how public audiences come to identify
themselves with or distance themselves from the various collective groups that make up social and
political life. Furthermore, it asks how such relationships differ across time and social space.

Philosophical pragmatism has been a significant substream in the history of ideas and an important

Recently, a "New Wave of Pragmatism in Communication Studies" (Bergman, 2008) has been gaining
momentum. This panel brings together some of the central contributors to this new wave, addressing the
applicability of the pragmatist tradition to research questions currently facing the field.

This panel consists of four empirical studies that highlight two interrelated communication traits:
argumentativeness and indirectness. Studies to be presented on this panel suggests that argumentativeness,
as form of assertiveness, is influenced by several cultural factors and can manifest itself directly or
indirectly in different cultures. Specifically, in Asian countries, indirect arguments are preferred in order
to promote social harmony. The panelists will share their findings of both qualitative and quantitative
research from three distinct national cultures including Thailand, Japan, and Australia. The presenters
represent both insiders and outsiders from the cultures they studied and thus will provide both emic and
etic views on the targeted intercultural phenomenon. At the end, the panelists hope to open up a dialogue
with participants to gain better understandings of argumentativeness and indirectness as a preferred form
of communication in certain cultures.

While entertainment theory and research within the field of Communication was scarce and somewhat
unusual until the 1980s, the discipline has seen the development of strong theories and various research
programs devoted to media users' exposure to entertainment programs and its effects over the past 25
years or so. But only within the past few years there has been a growing interest in new theoretical
approaches that try to differentiate, elaborate, and sometimes even overcome the more "traditional" ways
of thinking and theorizing about exposure to entertainment. This panel brings together scholars from the
US and Europe who have suggested new ways to theorize and research entertainment through media.

The world's linguistic diversity is in the hands of a fraction of its population, and is being threatened as
communities shift from small languages to the few dominant tongues that are perceived to have economic,
political, social and personal power. Although factors such as 'language attitudes' have been identified as
contributing to this shift, there has been little research into what this means in theory and practice, and
how it operates across the diverse language communities of the world. Also, although various individual
attempts have been made to 'revitalise' languages there has been little comparative research to identify
effective policies and practices that can bolster linguistic vitality and support threatened languages. This
symposium will take a multidisciplinary approach to explore the forces behind language endangerment
and what can be done to respond to them at various levels, and to increase language vitality within
communities.

Interactivity is a commonly discussed but under examined concept in the video game literature. The fact
that each video game player generates individualized content has implications for both theoretical and
methodological aspects of video game research. This panel brings together scholars from the US, Korea,
and Europe who have recently conducted innovative research in the area of video game interactivity.
Theoretical and methodological challenges will be discussed and solutions offered.

In Latin America, journalism has also been rapidly and dramatically changing, especially during this
century. Nevertheless, details of these changes are barely debated. There are important structural
differences and commonalities in the Latin American media profession, features that should be revisited
and reassessed across national realities for an improved understanding of the region's journalism cultures.
Using different methodological approaches and various perspectives on a diverse sample of Latin
American countries, this panel analyzes contrasting and contemporary journalism cultures of the region,
offering an overview of ongoing scholarly media projects in Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, and
Peru. Altogether, the papers portray differences and similarities on various levels of Latin American
journalism, mainly journalistic and professional news media roles, community participation through news,
reflections of journalistic dynamics in newsrooms, and factors related to press freedom and credibility
across the region's news media practice.

12 of the countries - Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Poland, Portugal,
Singapore, Switzerland and Taiwan - during late 2009 and early 2010 with representative national
samples of adults. Overall, the panel seeks to address many important questions with regard to the
consumption and perceptions of foreign TV news: What are the determinants of exposure to and the
evaluation of such news? How does exposure relate to the evaluation of the news? Why do people watch
foreign news in different countries, and which topics they find most interesting? The panel will also map
the interest in news about other countries (news geography) and assess whether news contents correspond
with people's interests. Some of the survey findings will be related to the findings of a comparative
content analysis that was presented at the 2009 ICA conference.

Open Space is a multiplatformed new media exhibition exploring open space as a conceptual zone in
Singapore and Southeast Asia, mobilizing collaboration, participation, dialogue, process, encounters,
permeability, and community. Open Space proposes a relational mode rather than a fixed object. Open
Space is where technologies, people, and places converge. This Open Space/ Singapore/ Southeast Asia
session probes the complex, fluid relationships between performance, performativity, soundscapes,
testimony, music, and participatory content. This convergence between testimony and technology
produces exciting and unexpected contingent spaces.

As workforces become increasingly globalized, communication scholars have paid more and more
attention to the role that culture plays in organizational contexts. This panel intends to examine
intercultural communication behaviors and challenges occurring in different organizational settings (e.g.,
multicultural corporations, multinational organizations, joint ventures, hospitals, and workplaces for
migrant labors) due to the influences of national, personal, and organizational cultures. Through this panel
discussion, we aim to advance individuals' understanding of effective intercultural communication and
conflict management in order to create and maintain an organizational environment that leads to work and
relational success.

Kenneth Benoit, Trinity College Dublin, IRELAND
Measuring the semantic meaning of texts in a reliable yet valid way remains one of the prime challenges
in communication research. Semantic network analysis (SNA) is a family of techniques capable of
processing large text corpora in an automated fashion, while retaining the subtle patterns of contexts
embedded in discourse texts. This panel addresses the key challenges SNA needs to meet to be a useful
addition to the methodological repertoire of communication researchers: Two papers focus on the validity
of measured meaning, combining textual and categorical data and juxtaposing different coding techniques.
The other papers explore SNA's ability to relate measured meanings to (social-)psychological and other
conceptualizations of semantics. All papers highlight pressing methodological issues that arise from the
treatment of diverse discourse data and propose new solutions. The panel aims at demonstrating the utility
and flexibility of SNA applications in communication research and suggests avenues for further
methodological development.

The panel deals with the representations of body images in visual and audiovisual media. The
presentations focus on the impact of perfect and imperfect individuals in conjunction with their body
images. Furthermore, the panel depicts so far underrepresented subpopulations: First of all the manner in
which older adults are presented in TV-advertisement is investigated analytically according to the content
and the images. Moreover, the panel examines the (re)presentation of Paralympics athletes in print
commercials and thus evaluates the reception of imperfect bodies. All contributions are concerned with
the consequences of the presentation of body images in the media particularly with regard to the
constitution of the viewers and readers social relations. It is shown that recipients mostly have an
analytical and critical view to visual presentations of bodies. They frequently feature a reflected handling
of mediatized body images as well as of predominant ideals of beauty.

A growing body of research in recent years has provided evidence supporting the notion that perceptions
of media effects shape reality in a variety of contexts. Stemming from Davison's notion of the third person
effect, the presumed influence hypothesis has been tested in a variety of contexts: This panel features
speakers representing five of ICA's divisions- Mass Communication, Political Communication, Health
Communication, Public Relations and Journalism Studies that report on advances in examining the
"presumed influence" hypothesis in their fields of study. The aim of this panel is to try to create crossdisciplinary discourse on perceptions of media influence, and to update scholars from different divisions
on progress in research on the presumed influence hypothesis in other subfields.

age, gender, race, class, nationality and religion. While such differences can be local, globalization has
increased the incidence and types of distinction. In many countries, popular media adopt an "Otherizing"
discourse via verbal and visual representation. The purpose of this international panel is to examine this
important, understudied topic. It focuses on representations of and by "Others" in the less studied contexts
of Eur-Asia and The Pacific. Advertising, newspapers, and television programming are considered, both
quantitatively and qualitatively, based on interviews, observation and content analysis. Othering
discourses explored includes: identity construction, stereotyping, exoticization, fetishization,
demonization, and symbolic annihilation. Per the conference theme, presentations emphasize political and
cultural challenges raised by media mis/representations, and work to compare outcomes between the study
contexts. This will be facilitated by a moderator's brief commentary and panelist response.

The papers in this panel investigate the relationships between media and creative economy in China. In
the 11th Five Year Plan period (2006 - 2010) China entered into a phase of economic and social
transformation in which terms such as 'independent innovation', 'soft power' and 'creative industries' are
frequently used by central and local government. While the central government is calling for more
innovation and creativity, new media technologies are providing people with the actual means to be more
creative, whether this be 'rebellious' forms of expression such as Internet parody, social network market
activities, or the reuse and exploitation of technological devices and networks for the development of
grassroots communities and low cost business ventures. These developments offer new possibilities for
personal expression, social engagement and grassroots transformation.

Sites
Sonia Livingstone, London School of Economics, UNITED KINGDOM
The internet and other network technologies have offered unprecedented access to information and
communication to many people - including children. Over the past decade, debates have emerged in
many countries about the extent to which child protection and child safety online balance concerns about
protecting freedom of speech, as well as privacy, for both children and adults. All of these concerns are
currently influencing decisions about internet governance at national and international levels. This panel
provides comparative, international perspectives on this issue and reveals how debates about child
protection, online child safety, privacy, and freedom of expression are at the core of debates about the
internet's future as an open, accessible, and reliable global communications and information source.

Decades of research on MMOGs, social worlds, digital games, virtual reality and avatars has generated
hundreds of articles with a variety of methods and methodologies on display. We know a lot about the
various virtual worlds, but how aware are we about what others are doing to know virtual worlds? How
much are we learning from each other? Given the complexity of virtual worlds, is there a single
methodological approach to study them, or should a multiple, mixed approach be undertaken? And if so,
how? We are proposing a panel that is a structured discussion of people with different methodological
approaches to discuss, in a series of rounds, what they do when they study virtual worlds. It is hoped that
both panelists and attendees will leave this session with knowledge about other methods and/or
methodologies currently being employed to understand our common phenomenon of interest, virtual
worlds.

Social networks exist in different ways, they include individuals, organizations or interactions. Challenges
for a theoretical research arise concerning the network dynamics of communication, coordination and
cooperation. Communication science provides terminologies and theoretical constructs which most
notably may refine the analysis of network-like relationship contexts. The panel will work out the
potential of network analysis as a research method in reflecting possible ways of operationalization of

The U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) has a long tradition of funding cutting-edge health
communication and health journalism research, and a rich history of partnering with schools of
journalism, news organizations, professional organizations, and other institutes within the U.S. National
Institutes of Health (NIH), to fund and conduct disease-specific and statistical training for health
journalists in the U.S. and abroad. Because the landscape of journalism is ever-evolving, it is essential for
researchers to identify priority areas for future health journalism research, in order to inform funding
priorities at the national level. Outcomes of the session will inform a large NCI/NIH funding initiative
intended to allow communication researchers to expand upon current health journalism research to ensure
that future investigations are responsive to the changing nature of news in general, and health reporting in
particular.

Mini Plenary: Urban Communication in Singapore in an Age of Globalization

Chair

Participants
Yu-Ning Hwang, Urban Redevelopment Authority, SINGAPORE
Yap Kheng Guan, Public Utilities Board, SINGAPORE
Singapore represents an unusual urban state that is governed and shaped by the uniqueness of a small citystate that is global and local at the same time. The physical smallness of Singapore means that any utility
or service that impinges on land use is highly controlled and planned. Three areas that stand out are urban
planning (where 85% of the population live in public housing), water use (where water is recycled,
desalination of seawater is being piloted and where a reservoir is being created in the city, a walking
distance from the convention centre) and traffic control, where a 1.6-litre Toyota Corolla costs almost
US$50,000. The panel speakers are from government agencies that are tasked with managing urban
planning, water and traffic in Singapore. They will explain how Singapore addresses the issues it faces
and how a number of the solutions are being emulated by other countries around the world. The Urban
Communication Foundation and the International Communication Association is bringing together a panel
representing several intersecting aspect of Singapore's urban landscape.

This mini-plenary will address the situations of GLBT individuals and communities in Southeast Asia,
and the role of media, old and new, in creating and potentially transforming matters. One focus will be
Singapore, where laws prohibit sex between men, studies indicate that the majority has negative attitudes
against gay men and lesbians, and portrayals are censored in mainstream media with the rationale of
respecting sensitivities. GLBT communities are, however, using new media to organize politically and
socially in creative ways.

While there are dozens of books and articles on the women's movement's media productions in the U.S.
(and hence attention to the material forms of this movement), we know virtually nothing about the ways
in which women's movements in Asia have deployed media genres (print, electronic, and performances)
to change women's lives. Studying the media of a social movement not only gives us insight into the
mobilization of social consciousness, but it also makes visible and thus materializes a movement's
contribution to national and global histories of collective transformation. Providing case studies of the
women's movement's varied use of media in the Philippines, China, Thailand-Myanmar border region,
and India, presenters on this panel will work together to fill a gaping hole in our knowledge of feminist
agency in Asia.

This panel will bring together international experts from Germany, Singapore, Sweden and Belgium to
present different disciplinary approaches to the pressing topic of visuality and multimodality. It aims to
explore the theoretical and methodological connections between visuality and multimodality, two
concepts at the interface of communication science, cognitive psychology, linguistics, and computer
science. It puts the two related concepts into the larger conference perspective of im/materiality by
forming a continuous cycle of theoretical and practical interactions, from the major theoretical
prescriptions for document design to the practical constraints of the print or online publication method, to
the cognitive process of translating the material, palpable multimodal document into an immaterial mental
information unit, to the development of software tools for multimodal analysis. It takes visuality as a
starting point, since vision is responsible for the perception of the majority of multimodal presentations;
then it introduces several prominent theoretical views and principles of multimodality as a field of
research, leading to an overview of the challenges for both visual communication and multimodal
document design.

The evolvement of SNS into a communicative and collaborative platform has propelled a multitude of
research endeavors seeking to understand how the global reach of this technology can help different
entities facilitate social change. For stakeholders in academia, the question lies on how to effectively
create and sustain an online research community; while activists or nonprofit organizations would be
concerned about ways to leverage SNS in their bid to promote social causes and nurture the growth of
civil society in different political contexts; lastly for diaspora, it is the question of connection and
engagement in a collective discourse on a political and territorial issue of their motherland. Presenting
cases spanning from the US, UK, Vietnam and Korea, this panel aims to provide a holistic perspective on
the possibilities presented, with hope to contribute to the burgeoning understanding of SNS and its social
and political implications.

Macau, a former Portuguese colony which returned to the Chinese sovereignty on Dec 20, 1999, has
transformed in a decade from a quiet colonial enclave to a global entrepot which is complicated to define.
Its appellations range from a spectacular "Oriental Las Vegas," a gross capital of casinos, to a successful
showcase of "One-country two-systems," all depending on how you interpret it. This panel attempts to
elaborate Macau from within and from a close examination of the tension arising in Macau from the
influence of globalization, the pressure for economic growth, the wild-spread diffusion of new media
technologies and the local aspiration to maintain a cultural identity, a stable family and harmonious
society.

This panel explores how competing dialogues are both product and producer of shifts in the public
spheres of four countries. It looks at how contradictory ideologies and voices can be examined to
construct shared identities and resolve social enmity, and how groups contend with policy to empower
themselves in the communication and media arena. In Indonesia, the narratives of youth leaders are
analyzed to reveal how peace can be negotiated among their communities. In Malaysia, the tension
between the discourses of indigenous and universalist constructions of national identity is examined as a
dichotomous dialectic. In South Africa, the policy on affirmative action that helps subordinated people
find their place in the information sector is contextualized in relation to the country's cultural and
economic landscape. In Thailand, grassroots initiatives towards the implementation of the licensing
processes for community radio are studied to surface how governments can circumvent media freedoms.

Open Space is multi-platformed new media exhibition exploring open space as a conceptual zone in
Singapore and Southeast Asia, mobilizing collaboration, participation, dialogue, process, encounters,
permeability and community. Open Space proposes a relational mode rather than a fixed object. Open
Space is where technologies, people and places converge. Curatorial team: Patricia R. Zimmermann,
Nikki Draper, Sharon Lin Tay, Nanyang Technological University; Wenjie Zhang, Singapore; with
curatorial associate Jenna Ng and curatorial assistant Koon Yen Low. This Open
Space/Singapore/Southeast Asia session investigates how new media installation art in two, three and
even four dimensions generates fluid cartographies of new permeable spaces—material, imaginary,
typographic, synthetic. All speakers will show examples of their works , and discuss the conceptual and
design models they deploy to construct permeable spaces.

Boris H. J. M. Brummans, U of Montréal, CANADA
This panel brings together a set of empirical studies developing the idea of the "dis-local" character of
communication in organizing. In line with the conference theme on the im/materiality of communication,
the panel offers a discussion of cases in which the displacements of texts and artifacts achieved in
interaction made organizing possible by extending its scope in time and place. The panel offers a
discussion of cases aimed at assessing the heuristic and analytical value of the idea of the material and
dislocated properties of communication in contexts such as strategic planning in a police organization,
decision-making in a 911 emergency center, identity statements in the birth of a political party, and the
spread of an educational organization throughout Chile. All these studies take up the challenge of
describing both the local features of the episodes they researched and their extension in time and space
using the notion of dislocation.

"Asian Communication Research: The past 20-years, and the next", (Vol 20, No. 2, 2010), to mark the
event. Nine scholars of Asian communication were invited to contribute to the special issue for a review
and analysis of Asian communication research in their respective fields, ranging from international
communication, intercultural communication, political communication, globalization, to new media. In
this Roundtable Forum, authors of the AJC 20.2 special issue are invited to share their views on the future
of Asian communication. Among the issues to be explored are: What the major trends and features of
Asian communication research in the past decades? What are major issues raised in the debates on Asian
communication? What are the directions that Asian communication research should take in the coming
decades? The panelists shall speak on Asian communication in general and on their chosen area of
specialization. The Forum will be open to the audience who may want to share their views from either an

Cultivating Worry: Individuals' News Consumption and Thoughts About Developing Cancer
Jennifer Kim Bernat, Purdue U, USA
This panel aims to show that emotions and media use can affect one another in four different ways. First,
emotions can influence media use, as Matthias Hastall showed in his contribution on emotional
dispositions as predictors of media behavior. Second, media use can lead to changes in users' emotional
states. Two types of changes are discussed. Kathleen Custers looked at how media use can elicit affective
reactions (as happens when TV viewers experience fear while viewing). Yen-Chen Chen studied how
media use can lead to physiological reactions which in turn change emotions. Finally, media use can lead
to changes in emotions after media use, as Jennifer Bernat showed in her study on how news exposure
affects cancer worry. Too much attention may have gone to the study of cognitive processes and cognitive
responses. Emotions should feature higher on the agenda of future studies.

Teresa Award for the Advancement of Feminist Scholarship. We encourage self-nominations, as well as
the nomination of others. The Teresa Award recognizes work that has made significant contributions to
the development, reach and influence of feminist scholarship. While the FSD awards committee favors
research that consists of multiple projects and publications that have made a clear, coherent and sustained
contribution to the advancement of feminist scholarship over time, single works and/or activities which
have been highly influential in the field of feminist communication scholarship may also qualify someone
for nomination. More specifically, nominees for this award will have accomplished one or more of the
following: (1) opened up new theoretical and/or methodological territory in feminist research; (2) made
other important contributions to the advancement of feminist scholarship; and (3) engaged in feminist
activism within academia that advanced feminist scholarship.

This panel explores the different ways in which new online technologies have emerged and have been
assimilated into the cultures and national settings of Southeast Asia. Collectively, these papers show how
different communities are able (or not) to adapt technologies to fit their own cultural contexts and
identities. It investigates the traditional cultures of Northern Malaysia where the rise of social networks
permit the socially-sanctioned practice of voyeurism. In countries with advanced technologies, broadband
networks allow youth easy access to information, and the panel analyzes how these search engines have
altered traditional information seeking behavior among Singaporean students. In Indonesia, a virtual
online rock band community is examined whose Website permitted fans from different countries to share
a common identity. Finally, the panel explores how freedom of information in Thailand and Malaysia has
been affected by the rise of blogging and by government responses to citizen journalism.

Service Broadcasters in several countries including Australia, Denmark, the US, Wales, and Taiwan.
Unlike most of the existing literature about the histories of Public Service Broadcasters this roundtable
intends to approach the histories of Public Service Broadcaster's online activities as a field of study in its
own right and not just as an appendix to the general history of Public Service Broadcasters. Questions
such as the following will be debated: How did broadcasters such as the ABC, DR, TBS, Channel 4
Wales, and Al-Jazeera English adapt their public service remits for a global digital platform? What were
the differences and similarities between broadcasters in various countries? What can these histories tell us
about a future for public service media in a globalised, digital age?

both seek to manage stakeholder relations and therefore need to analyze multiple stakeholder groups. The
panel addresses the theoretical and conceptual challenges and potentials encountered by the public
relations field in view of the emergence of CSR and its spill-over into public relations and issues
management by raising questions such as: how are the fields interrelated, how are they organised and
organisable in practice and are they a thread or a benefit to each other?

values and ways of expressing these, and (2) the tensions between the ideologies of localism and those of
globalization in reconceptualizing and communicating national values.

Axel Bruns, Queensland U of Technology, AUSTRALIA
Internet scholars and webometrics experts have adopted various methodologies and theoretical
frameworks to understand the web of relationships. Current attempts to depict and elucidate on online
communicative and relational flows among linked entities tend to be static in nature. There is a dearth of
empirical studies which adopt a longitudinal approach in mapping the transformations of relational and
communicative patterns over time. In line with ICA 2010's theme and to address the existing research gap,
this panel of four studies explores the intersection between the material (technological applications) and
the immaterial (time). Deploying network crawling technologies, large-scale hyperlink network and
textual analysis to examine technology use by politicians, bloggers and nations over study periods ranging
from eight months to 10 years, the studies place the panel in the nexus of communication where the
materiality of technology used to encapsulate evolving communications and the immateriality of time
interact.

Recently, the concept of "mediatization" has been evoked by scholars to explain the transformations of
religion in the late modern era. While "mediatization" helps us to understand the vital role media have
played in the transformation of what we call religion or spirituality, it is also a problematic term since it is
based on an assumed, distinction between media and religion. This roundtable discusses both the
usefulness and the limitation of the concept "mediatization" for analyzing the ever-growing intersections
between religion and media in diverse geographical and religious contexts: Scandianavia, Israel, North
America, and Korea.

Using examples from (inter)personal/intercultural, mass media, information and communication
technologies (ICTs), and more, analysis is presented of how the tsunami of December 26, 2004 offers a
classic case for how communication matters. "The world's worst recorded natural disaster," where
225,000 people were killed, 1.7 million displaced, galvanized the largest global relief effort in history, and
communication was key. Parichart Stapitananda (Chulalongkorn U, Bangkok) shares personal testimony
on how she used communication to deal with personal grief losing her entire family; Folker Hanusch (U
of Queensland, Australia) checked front page discrepancies on reportage between tourist and local deaths;
Linda K. Fuller (Worcester State College) content-analyzed The Christian Science Monitor's coverage;
Randy Kluver (Texas A&M) and Yin Leng Theng and Wu Horng Jyh (Singapore Internet Research

Organizations are sites of political struggle and power is the entity that integrates its various elements.
Public relations practice often is accused of only speaking on behalf of those in powerful positions and
marginalizing and disenfranchising less powerful stakeholders, making their views immaterial. This view
of public relations, however, ignores the many perspectives investigating the possibility of public relations
as a positive and affirming practice that has the potential to use power that can make marginalized voices
material. This panel looks at four philosophical/theoretical approaches to public relations that have the
potential to liberate and empower stakeholders through practice. Broadly speaking , the panel addresses
power in public relations by interrogating it through a number of themes that lay the foundation for a
rigorous debate on the topic: dialogic v dialectic communication; consensus v dissensus; local power v
structural power; and organization v self.

Following on research that calls for a critical attention to the systems and infrastructures that underlie and
support communication practices, this panel will present analyses of a range of media infrastructures,
exploring both historical and contemporary cases. These include a critical study of satellite infrastructure,
a discussion of telecommunications infrastructures in relation to the demarcation of public and private
spaces, a spatial analysis of submarine cable landing stations, and a project on "reverse salients" in
communication infrastructure in relation to various unusual systems. These projects will raise questions
about the specificities of different infrastructural forms for communication (for example, the diverse
effects of satellites, submarine cables, and telephones). It will also reflect on what makes communications
infrastructures usual or unusual, public or private, failures and successes, and the ways in which these
relate to broader changes in social practices.

This panel seeks to explore the new realities and to respond to new challenges of "global-local dialectic"
by discussing Hollywood's relationship with film industries around the world. Through specific case
studies of mainland China, Hong Kong and India and working from the perspectives of political economy,
critical cultural studies, and post-colonial theories, Panel members analyze local strategies for negotiating
with global capital and for the construction of indigenous expression and identities. The panel raises the
issues of Hollywood's role in local societies, the alliance and the-tug-of-the war between local
societies/government and transnational capital, and what comes after cultural hybridity. As manifested in
these case studies, the complicity of global-local interplay will fundamentally change cultural landscape
of the world.

Exploring Consequences of the Hostile Media Effect

According to the hostile media effect, individuals highly involved in a controversial issue see media
coverage of that issue as biased towards opposing positions, even if the coverage is actually well balanced
(Vallone, Ross, & Lepper, 1985). The hostile media effect has been well confirmed in different thematic
contexts in the past. Recent empirical research started to examine the determinants of audiences' hostile
media perceptions, as well as their consequences. The present panel provides a fresh update of these latest
studies conducted within this highly dynamic research field.

Devkumar Trivedi, Acharya Nagaraj Marg, INDIA
General semantics was introduced by Alfred Korzybski over 75 years ago, in response to the horrors of
the First World War, as a means to improve the ways in which we understand, evaluate, and act upon our
enivonment, in order to faciliate individual sanity and collective moral and ethical progress. This in turn
led to various attempts at institutionalizing the movement, such as the Institute of General Semantics, the
International Society for General Semantics (which merged with the IGS in 2004), various local societies,
and most recently the Balvant Parekh Centre for General Semantics and Other Human Sciences in Baroda,
India. The introduction of general semantics also resulted in a popular movement that peaked during the
mid-twentieth century, giving rise to and influencing a variety of psychotherapies such as NeuroLinguistic Programming and Rational-Emotive Therapy, as well as deconstruction and poststructuralism
in Europe and media ecology in North America, general systems theory and Buckminster Fuller's
synergetics, the development of computer technology and interfaces (e.g., Douglas Engelbart, Alan Kay),
literature (e.g., William S. Burroughs, A. E. van Vogt, Robert Heinlein, Frank Herbert), philosophy,
education, economics, finance, and business, and of course the study of human communication. As we
examine general semantics today, this panel will consider to what extent does it speak to contemporary
problems and concerns? How does general semantics relate to contemporary theory and research in
communication and related fields and disciplines? What contributions can general semantics institutions
make to scholarship, to individuals outside of academia who are looking for practical solutions to
everyday problems, and to out social systems?

Although research on children's participation in virtual worlds is growing, more light needs to be shed on
the benefits and harms of children's participation in these engaging and increasingly popular multimedia
environments. In response to this research imperative, this panel comprises four papers which study
children's forays into online virtual worlds, focusing on the relatively understudied preschool to preteen
group, aged around 3 to 14. It investigates a range of salient issues including the constraints of children's
identity formation in virtual worlds and challenges in parental mediation of children's participation in
virtual worlds, while exploring policy responses to online junkfood advergaming and the potential of
virtual worlds in mediating inter-generational family interaction. The papers employ a diverse range of
methodologies and includes research from Asia, Europe and North America, thus offering multi-faceted
insights and international perspectives on children's online virtual experiences.

This round table discussion will pursue a comparative and contrastive examination of gendered identities
in eight Eastern European countries (Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine,
and Russia). Participants will draw from historical data and interviews to refer to (1) the changes in
gender policies and practices in the process of democratization; (2) postcommunist formulations of ideals
about masculinity and femininity; and (3) postcommunist opportunities/threats for communicating
gendered identities. The discussion will reveal both efforts to set gendered relations on principles of
tolerance, and clashes between gendered identities.

of the conference location, Singapore. First, it investigates the relationship between public sphere
processes and processes of democratization and de-democratization. Second, the panel focuses on nonWestern countries and regions, adding to the more dominant focus of public sphere research on Western
countries. Third, rather than studying non-Western cases within the framework of area studies alone, this
panel takes a comparative approach.

Silke Adam, U of Hohenheim, GERMANY
The purpose of the panel is to explore different types of political communication culture across Europe.
Political communication culture refers to the ideas, values, roles and perceptions that guide the interaction
of journalists, editors, politicians, advisers and spokespeople. Comparative analysis of political
communication often proceeds from the assumption that the specific form and content of political
communication are strongly influenced by formal or quasi-formal attributes of national political systems
and media systems. The importance of such systemic attributes notwithstanding, the panel proceeds from
the assumption that cultural components are equally important for the media-politics relationship and its
manifest outcomes. The panel brings together papers that link formal systemic attributes with cultural
components and probe the existence of distinct national communication cultures and/or clusters of culture
through comparative analysis of attitudinal data and interaction data from various European countries.

Respondent
Radhika E. Parameswaran, Indiana U, USA
The notion that planet-wide socio-politico-cultural processes are profoundly changing daily life for
billions of people around the globe has gained increasing currency in recent decades. For South Asians,
such connectivity has meant the potential to reverse previously unequal media flows related to Asian
perspectives, culture, and values. Given this context, the scope and reach of Indian media - particularly
the Mumbai-based segment known as "Bollywood" -- has never been greater, whether through
international film festivals, film star tours, international co-productions, or global cable channels.
Bringing together four presenters and a respondent reflecting a range of methodological approaches, this
panel addresses this gap in the literature by exploring the role of popular Hindi cinema in the global flow
of soft power. Our central focus is whether Bollywood cinema truly promotes India's economic-politicalcultural interests abroad, or whether external, Westernized influences are utilizing media flows to unduly
influence Indian media and cultural practices.

News Values in Conversations About Single News Events
Denise Sommer, U of Leipzig, GERMANY
News values have been regarded as journalists' professional selection guidelines. However, studies show
that particular news factors similarly guide the audience's reception processes. If news values are linked to
general human perception they should also play a central role in conversation and determine what type of
information (from the media) we talk about as well as how we talk about it. Thus, the panel analyzes the
role of news values in conversations about the media. It aims at understanding when and why these
conversations occur and how they are structured. The first paper discusses news value theory and its
implications for interpersonal communication from a theoretical perspective. Three empirical studies
investigate conversations about media content reaching from general media talk to specific conversations
about single news events. They inquire the characteristics of conversations about news with high and low
news value and explore how particular news factors affect conversations about news issues.

Roger Cooper, Ohio U, USA
This panel will examine the opportunities and challenges of post-convergence media scholarship from
theoretical, methodological, and empirical perspectives. Post-convergence implies that media and
communication scholars will increasingly need to develop theories and measures that consider uses,
effects, gratifications, and structures across media forms rather than to isolate concepts to a single
medium. Today's media offer video, audio, and text for users to access when, where, and how they want
it (e.g., mobile TV, video on-demand, personalized journalism). Individuals can also use media
simultaneously, share experiences (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, YouTube), and access the same information
through a variety of delivery systems. In post-convergence, media users are more concerned about
content than the medium that delivers it. These dynamics create opportunities for theory development and
integration, yet pose challenges for how scholars conceptualize and measure media uses, effects, and
structures. Panelists will offer theoretical conceptualizations and empirical approaches for postconvergence scholarship.

In this panel, we present four papers. First, Jung and Mizukoshi present a paper that theoretically
discusses the connection between communication infrastructure theory and civic media game approach.
The second and third papers present empirical design and practice of communal games in local
communities. Toriumi presents "Keitai Trail," an experimental workshop for collecting and networking
people's video messages recorded by mobile phones. This cultural play program derives from a Japanese
classical word play and is technically supported by a knowledge support system developed in the Exprimo
Project. Ogawa and Ito present their research on "Media Conté," which is a digital storytelling workshop
connecting members of a community through exchanges of daily life stories. Story games and crossmedia platforms were developed to encourage and support everyday people's story-telling activities in a
collaborative manner. In the fourth paper, Wu presents her work about "media play" in Taiwan. Finally,
Ball-Rokeach, who formulated the communication infrastructure theory, will present comments about the
overall panel theme and the four individual papers.

Respondent
Wolfgang Donsbach, Technical U - Dresden, GERMANY
In this panel we ask whether and if yes, under which conditions we find signs that the 2009 European
Parliament election took up European conflicts, issues and actors - and thereby moved beyond the national
level. We are looking for such signs in mass media's reporting and commentating (paper 1), in the
campaign communication of domestic parties (paper 2) and finally on the side of citizens, i.e. their
participation patterns (paper 3). Research that focuses on the supply side of information is based on the
assumption that more Europeanized forms of communication are a prerequisite to also Europeanize
citizens' voting behaviour. The fourth paper in our panel is seeking evidence for this assumption by
experimental research: Does it make a difference for citizens' reactions if campaigns are more or less
focused on EU issues, actors and conflicts?

John Hartley, Queensland U of Technology, AUSTRALIA
The increasing availability and accessibility of detailed data and metadata on political engagement and
public communication through online networks and social media Websites, and the development of more
sophisticated tools and methodologies for capturing, analysing, and visualising such data, have made it
possible to explore new approaches to the study of online political networks (cf. Adamic & Glance, 2005;
Shadbolt & Berners-Lee, 2008; Kelly & Etling, 2009). Such approaches employ a combination of network
crawling and scraping technologies, large-scale hyperlink network and textual analysis, and innovative
approaches to visualising their results; in doing so, they shed new light on the level and nature of the
engagement between mainstream and marginal political actors, news and alternative media sources, and
the 'ordinary' citizens participating in everyday political discussion through a variety of social networking
sites, blogs, and other platforms. This panel presents a number of innovative projects in this field.

This panel presents research that explores the significance of intangibles in political communication.
Panellists explore, first, how political values of different institutions (government, opposition and political
parties) are represented (representations in TV spots and broadcasts and blogs of government leaders and
of candidates are analyzed) during different political processes (political crisis and election campaigns).
Second, it is explored how people react to the material representation of intangible political values. From
the perspective of the concept of stakeholder, "government reputation" is analyzed examining both
outcomes of public policies and citizens' perceptions of government leadership and performance. Since
political values are embodied in media outputs, how citizens process information received through the
mass media is analyzed. The panel is an opportunity for scholars to present work which helps the academy
to understand the complex connection between meaning and materiality when talking about intangible
values in political and public institutions.

The panel presents and discusses results and approaches towards emergency communication at an
organizational and public level from two research and development projects. The first one, "Proactive
Communication Management During Emergencies" (funded by RWE), analyzed new possibilities of
organizational crisis management and customer communication in cases of power outages (blackouts).
The second project is still running and is part of the German Federal Government's Security Research
Program which aims to increase civil security without limiting the freedom of citizens. The project
"Emergency Communication for Security" (funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research)
investigates and develops preventive, proactive and reactive strategies for communications support in
security and rescue operations. Communication needs and obligations are addressed at intra- and interorganizational levels. Prerequisites and modalities of robust communication and media interventions are
developed and tested using system dynamics crises and disaster models. The panelists present final and
intermediate results from both projects accentuating issues of organizational communication such as
integrated crisis management, intranets as crisis information systems, organizational communication
ethics, mobile organizations, improvements of human reliablity, dynamical disaster models and time
windows for communicative intervention.

As China's influence on the world economy and politics increases, a corresponding change is also
expected in China's position in global communication. For media studies, the "China question" is moving
from the peripheral to the center, and from regional to global. "The perspective of China" is an emerging
new approach that inspires the convergence of Chinese and Western academic thoughts. To include the
China question and the perspective of China in global media studies not only makes subjective
construction of Chinese media studies possible, but also opens up more space for pluralism and diversity
in global media studies. This panel, organized by the Chinese Association of Communication, highlights
the discussion of "the China question" among the Chinese academia and the exploration of "the
perspective of China" in the field of media studies. The objective of this panel is to enhance mutual
understandings between Chinese scholars and their international counterparts through its proposition and
discussion of the perspective of China on media studies.

PR has done much to redress its lack of global coverage. While work still remains, this panel extends that
literature beyond traditional boundary-spanning. It discusses how nationally, regionally, and
transnationally, PR is not only substantially shaped by material locations (especially nations), but
intersects with, and helps shape, those - often transitional - locations. Examining selective image
projections from very different places, the panel considers shifting boundaries of contemporary relevance
to PR. It pays particular attention to interplays between internal and external audiences and commonalities
and differences between differently located initiatives both inside (e.g., national PR associations seeking
better practices from transnational bodies) and/or outside (e.g., marketing nations/regions internationally).
Although offering some specific practice guidelines (e.g., for place promotion; professional PR
associations), the panel questions core assumptions of fixed limits to open discussions on challenges and
possibilities - including a possible third way for PR between European and U.S. models - raised by current
intersections.

The goal of this panel is to bring together recent research on a new topic: online consumer communities,
which are online sites where consumers interact with one another about brands, products and/or services.
Little research exists on this topic and this panel helps to fill the gap. Online consumer communities can
take many forms. They can be company-created, consumer-created, or third-party created. Four empirical
papers will be presented followed by a response by former ICA President Ronald E. Rice, a recognized
expert on online communities and social media. The panel topics range from those related to the
technology that supports consumer communities (features, interactivity, innovation) to those related to
psychological, social and communicative practices (authenticity, participation, influence). Online
consumer communities can bring real value and meaning to brands and to users.

The papers that comprise this panel each detail findings from an ongoing youth social networking project
called Space2Cre8, which involves teenage youth in India, South Africa, Norway and the United States in
creating their own online social community. Based on the analysis of quantitative and qualitative data
collected online and at each site of participation over a two-year period, we discuss material and
immaterial constraints on and facilitators of communication and collaboration within the network and
suggest the vital relation of sustained participation, hospitality, ingenuity, playfulness, and dialogicality to
such emerging networked literacy practices. In so doing, we aim to identify and elucidate essential
qualities of the 'new literacies' required for meaningful, equitable participation in the global, digital
present and future.

The proliferation of social media in Asia has led to new media playing a more central role in the lives of
increasingly wired citizens. In particular, Southeast Asia makes for an interesting case study for social
media, especially blogs and social networking sites, because of the economic, political and cultural
diversity of the region, which influence the way social media is utilised. With its experienced academic
and industry panelists in the areas of political discourse, marketing and advertising, the panel aims to
generate discussion on how social media in Southeast Asia has made an impact on political discussions
and advertising and marketing strategies, given its affordances. Intercultural communication will be drawn
into the discussion to address the transitions of different cultures into the virtual world. The state of social
media in Southeast Asia as well as upcoming social media trends in the region and its implications on
interpersonal communication will also be discussed.

Should sociolinguistic explanation restrict itself to micro-level motivations such as turn-taking and
lexicogrammatical constraints upon communication strategy? Or is it legitimate and productive to look
further afield to wider attitudes and perceptions shared by speech-communities and socioeconomic
groups? This panel seeks to explore wider societal influences on individual discourse within the
multilingual context of Malaysia. Touching on the domains of advertising, law, journalism, business and
politics in order to illustrate a range of sociolinguistic and pragmatic constraints upon actual language use,
the papers focus on language in private and public discourses in the varying contexts of nation building,
multiculturalism and globalization. Discourse is explored in relation to society at large as well as ethnic
and professional communities. Linguistic analysis of different kinds of discourse and forms and the
relationship between these and contextual factors are highlighted. Linguistic manifestations of the
different types of discourse indicate social, cultural, political and economic explanatory factors behind the
linguistic choices found in the texts.

The work of Erving Goffman is more influential in today's media and communication studies than ever
before. However, the use of his research tends to be based on a relatively narrow selection of his books.
This panel will demonstrate Goffman's relevance to social situations and actors of historic media as well
as contemporary electronic and digital media. Espen Ytreberg (U of Oslo) introduces "A Goffman for the
media and communication researcher". Eric W. Rothenbuhler (Texas A&M U) discusses "Goffman,
ritualized performance, media formats, and Top 40 radio". Lynn Schofield Clark (U of Denver) looks at
"Erving Goffman, Arlie Hochschild, and the Issues of Communication and Control in Family Media

In the context of the new relevance of social 'networked' communication and the need for a deeper
understanding of ontological frameworks of transnational discourse structures, a debate of processes of
remembering provides insight into the epistemological formations of networked public life. This panel
will discuss the epistemological space of 'mediated' forms of memory as a crucial new public ritual.

Christina Slade, City U London, UNITED KINGDOM
Communications scholars depend upon unlicensed access to copyrighted materials, including television
programs, newspaper advertisements, rap lyrics, and software, for their research. Exemptions to
monopoly ownership rights exist in all copyright policies, none so ample and flexible as the U.S.
copyright doctrine of fair use. How well do communications scholars understand and employ the
exemptions they have, especially fair use? A survey of ICA members conducted by the ICA's ad hoc
committee on fair use and academic freedom reveals a high level of insecurity about scholars' rights to
unlicensed use of copyrighted material. It also documents a direct link between copyright insecurity and
loss of scholarly research. A fifth of respondents have abandoned research underway for copyright
concerns, and nearly a third avoided research subjects or questions because of copyright concerns. This
panel discusses the survey's implications and proposes next steps to lower copyright insecurity for
communications scholars.

Going beyond the occasional news clip from Burma, the acclaimed filmmaker, Anders Østergaard, brings
us close to the video journalists who deliver the footage. Though risking torture and life in jail,
courageous young citizens of Burma live the essence of journalism as they insist on keeping up the flow
of news from their closed country. Armed with small handycams the Burma VJs stop at nothing to make
their reportages from the streets of Rangoon. Their material is smuggled out of the country and broadcast
back into Burma via satellite and offered as free usage for international media. The whole world has
witnessed single event clips made by the VJs, but for the very first time, their individual images have been
carefully put together and at once, they tell a much bigger story. The film offers a unique insight into
high-risk journalism and dissidence in a police state, while at the same time providing a thorough
documentation of the historical and dramatic days of September 2007, when the Buddhist monks started
marching.

Censorship and Sensibility
Josephine Ho, National Central U, TAIWAN
Censorship is the intervention between a willing sender and a willing receiver by a third party who has
some power over either or both of them. In practical terms, those with political power often exert a large
say in censorship. However, the Internet is affecting the power relationship. Using examples from within
and without Asia, this panel explores how state- and self-censorship are changing as a result of the
interaction among traditional media, new media, state policies and social formation.
