The study of audiences constitutes a central concern of contemporary (popular) communication research. As
Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama fills football stadia addressing enthusiastic supporters and political
commentators frequently refer to "Obama fans" and "Palin fans", evidence of the centrality of notions of affect and
participation in contemporary mediated communication - within and beyond the realm of traditional popular culture is abundant. This preconference explores the social, cultural, textual and psychological conditions through which
readers engage with, and attach meaning and emotional significance to the texts they privilege in their everyday life
media consumption. Corresponding with this year's conference theme - Keywords in Communication - the field of
audience studies constitutes a key conceptual battleground that has witnessed a number of paradigm changes over the
past half century which have both reflected and contributed to the wider discourses of Social and Cultural Theory.
"Affective Audiences" explores these recent paradigm changes by offering a dedicated space within the ICA
conference programme that combines empirical audience research with a thorough examination of the field's canon
and a discussion of its conceptual challenges vis-à-vis convergence and globalization.

India plays an increasingly important role in the processes of globalization, including the global production of culture
and the communications technology industry. At the same time, the field of communication studies in India is
expanding. Yet there is no Indian Communications Association and little in the way of considered and formal review
of contributions to the field. This pre-conference is an effort to create a new coherence and a new salience for this
subject by mapping the area of communication and culture studies in India; to strengthen ties among leading and
emerging scholars and institutions in India and elsewhere; to develop and cultivate a research agenda for the field; and
to explore the creation of an Indian Communication Studies Association. The pre-conference will take place over 2
days. The first day will be dedicated to paper presentations from emerging scholars on a diverse range of issues,
including media and cultural representations, gender, minorities, issues of nationalism and culture, and structural
questions of governance. The second day will be centered around three panels, which will address the development of
communication studies in India; issues of technology, governance and development; and a discussion of scholarship
about India. The organized panels will draw from academia, business, civil society, and government/policy-making
circles.

This preconference will explore the 'Mobile2.0' era that is emerging, in which mobiles are becoming increasingly
important in bringing people into the Information Society. This preconference will attempt to draw together research
which will help piece together evidence for and against this emerging Mobile2.0 narrative in the context of the larger
social-science understanding of mobile-use behavior. The workshop will not be limited to papers dealing with the
mobile as the path to the Information Society or to research dealing with the developing world, but we do expect these
themes to be represented because most mobiles are now in the developing world and most growth is in these markets.
The workshop will focus on mobile communication, but we will encourage papers that contrast this with the broader
set of ICTs.

Global Communication and Social Change: Future Research Agendas and Trajectories
Sponsored Sessions
At its business meeting in Montreal, the Division for Global Communication and Social Change approved a proposal
for a one-day divisional preconference in Chicago. It will take its title from the name of the division, Global
Communication and Social Change: Research Agendas and Directions. The meeting considered that it is desirable and
timely for divisional as well as interested members of other ICA divisions to explore the evolving and diverse
meanings of the key words of the division's own nomenclature, and what these may suggest for future research
agendas and for the division's articulation of its identity(ies) and goals.

Presenters use Dervin's Sense-Making Methodology (SMM) in small or large part to look at phenomena
communicatively, framed as dialogue and focused on sense-making. In SMM, most differences above represent
"noun" worlds, engraved by history and normative practices. Within SMM, nouns are bracketed as substantive
surfaces to examine universalities in the human condition of communicative "verbs." One workshop purpose is
normative -- people with like-minded substantive interests sharing understandings of theory, method, results,
conclusions. The larger purpose is for every participant to work systematically at communicating across boundaries -to surround and interrogate two questions: If, how, when, and with what success and struggles SMM was used to: 1)
transcend nouns and focus on communicating verbs; and 2) implement the dialogic theory that is SMM's foundation.
This is a working workshop. Persons not listed as presenters will be welcome.

Ethical issues have accompanied the development of media studies from its inception. However, it seems that
agreement on a broad conceptual framework for media ethics is still to be established and a broad dialogue between
theoretical perspectives on ethics and contemporary media practitioners yet to be achieved. The preconference will
provide a platform for these debates in the areas of transcultural discourse ethics, virtue ethics, new ethical
formations, representation of otherness, audiences responsibility and more. The reception is sponsored by New York

The preconference will bring together communication scholars, media theorists, journalists and practitioners to
collectively consider the question of media ethics. Ethics has recently emerged as a central concern in the humanities
and social sciences, as well as in various subsets of media and communication studies. An increasing number of
scholars are now involved in issues directly pertaining to the relation of media and ethics while drawing on various
philosophical traditions. While ethical issues have accompanied the development of media studies from its inception
and, agreement on a broad conceptual framework for media ethics is still to be established and a broad dialogue
between theoretical perspectives on ethics and contemporary media practitioners yet to be achieved. The
preconference will provide a platform for such an attempt.

Organizational Communication Doctoral Consortium: Multidisciplinary Research on Organizational
Communication
Sponsored Sessions
The purpose of this consortium is to develop some actionable ideas for young scholars to participate in sustaining an
interdisciplinary focus in teaching and research while at the same time maintaining the core identity that has
developed for organizational communication over the last several decades. As a relatively applied discipline,
organizational communication seeks to have important input to practice, problem-solving, and policy. Yet, one of the
key ingredients to true problem focused-research and teaching that can inform complex issues is the intellectual spark
and challenge that comes from seeking ideas in other disciplines and collaborating in interdisciplinary teams.
Research consistently demonstrates that the most productive outcomes typically come from diverse teams that pool
the intellectual resources from multiple disciplines. The format consists of panels of colleagues who are experienced
in interdisciplinary research and teaching and who are tasked to share insights with young scholars seeking to
maximize the potential impact of their research and teaching in organizational communication. The preconference
will focus on providing concrete suggestions that are consonant with the careers needs of junior scholars who will
soon grow into the future leaders of our field. The session focuses on motivating our newest colleagues to pursue the
interdisciplinary option and to work through some concrete, actionable, realistic ways to do so. The consortium will
concurrently address a variety of professional and career issues of young scholars with the goal of participants leaving
with concrete, useful professional advice and direction.
Introduction to Hierarchical Linear Modeling
Sponsored Sessions
This preconference will be a full-day workshop on Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM), led by one of the preeminent experts in the field -- Deborah Kashy. Dr. Kashy is not only exceptionally well informed about HLM, but has
also shown considerable ability to translate that knowledge to beginners in workshop formats (for years she has lead
the dyadic data analysis workshop for the internationally-recognized "Data Analysis Training Institute of
Connecticut"). Dr. Kashy will lead the entire workshop using SPSS as the software tool and is able to pitch the
workshop broadly, shifting from examples involving dyadic data analysis applications (her particular expertise) to
other applications where participants are nested within a higher-order factor (e.g., groups, media studies).

The study of audiences constitutes a central concern of contemporary (popular) communication research. As
Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama fills football stadia addressing enthusiastic supporters and political
commentators frequently refer to "Obama fans" and "Palin fans", evidence of the centrality of notions of affect and
participation in contemporary mediated communication - within and beyond the realm of traditional popular culture is abundant. This preconference explores the social, cultural, textual and psychological conditions through which
readers engage with, and attach meaning and emotional significance to the texts they privilege in their everyday life
media consumption. Corresponding with this year's conference theme - Keywords in Communication - the field of
audience studies constitutes a key conceptual battleground that has witnessed a number of paradigm changes over the
past half century which have both reflected and contributed to the wider discourses of Social and Cultural Theory.
"Affective Audiences" explores these recent paradigm changes by offering a dedicated space within the ICA
conference programme that combines empirical audience research with a thorough examination of the field's canon
and a discussion of its conceptual challenges vis-à-vis convergence and globalization.

Preconference on Religion, Politics and the Media
Sponsored Sessions
Chair
Andrea Lee Press, U of Virginia, USA
In his Presidential Address to the 1998 ICA Conference in Jerusalem, Peter Monge joined a growing number of
voices in the academy in calling for American scholars to pay greater attention to the question of religion. This lacuna
is particularly notable as we look at the interaction of religion, media, and politics at this point in the development of
American political culture (and in the so-called "post-9/11 era"). This preconference is intended to be a day of
dialogue on the questions and challenges in studying the intersections between religion, politics, and the media in
American life and American public culture. It will consist of four sessions. Three will be "round tables" of four
invited panelists, structured to encourage dialogue amongst panelists and participants around key questions of the
interaction between these social dimensions. Panelists will make brief informal presentations followed by open
discussion.

The Future is Prologue: New Media, New Histories?
Sponsored Sessions
Organized by the ICA Communication History Interest Group and the editors of New Media & Society, this
preconference brings together scholars interested in historical research relating to the challenges of historical methods
of research as applied to new media (broadly construed). New media encompass both new opportunities and new
dilemmas for scholars. This ICA pre-conference invites participants to reflect on ways to analyze, preserve , and
understand new media in a manner that is both sensitive to the past and to future needs of historical research. The
history of new media is a burgeoning new subfield, but one aspect that often goes overlooked is how new media
involve new ways of doing history. The purpose of this pre-conference is to focus attention on the shifting needs of
historical scholarship about new media. It will include a demonstration of new technologies for collaboration and
visualization under development at the Electronic Visualization Laboratory, U of Illinois at Chicago.

This preconference is a working session of about 40 communication scholars who will brainstorm research to analyze
the problems of access to copyrighted material in the academic field of communication today, and to develop a
proposal for addressing those problems further within our professional context. We expect that participants will look
upon this event as the beginning of a project. The format will be that of a workshop; there will be no paper
presentations. Communication scholars need fair use to be able to do their work. Scholars and creators have
increasingly found copyright restrictions to impose burdens harsh enough to affect the range, quality and type of work
that we undertake. The recent rise of digital making and sharing practices, in combination with the growth of
broadband distribution, has made this problem increasingly acute. In this process, the ideology of authorship--a
reverence for individual authorship that is a legacy of 19th century Romanticism and that carefully excludes the social
aspects of creativity--has been sedulously invoked by the publishers, distributors and content companies with which
scholars and creators must interact. Marginalized, by contrast, has been the underlying goal of copyright, to promote
and reward the creation of culture. Similarly marginalized has been the recognition of art or expression not merely as
finished objects but as practice, to borrow an insight from Raymond Williams, one of the founding thinkers of the
field of communication. Communication scholars have special needs to access copyrighted material in order both to
analyze it and to create new work, as well as to teach effectively and support student creative and scholarly projects.
Circulation of this work, not only in nonprofit environments but in the corporate world of distribution, is critical to its
evolution and to growth of the field. Often neither the authors nor their publishers and distributors are well-informed
about copyright and their options under the law. At the same time that scholars and creators have encountered
obstacles to doing their work well because of copyright, they have also collectively found ways to assert their rights
and develop tools to address the problem. For instance, as has been demonstrated dramatically and publicly since
2005, with the launch of the Documentary Filmmakers’ Statement of Best Practices in Fair Use, the copyright
doctrine of fair use is a vital and useable tool to fairly and legally employ copyrighted material in new academic and
creative work. In the wake of its success in changing industry practice, other creator groups, including media literacy
teachers and film scholars, have publicly established their interpretations of fair use, through their professional
associations. Communication scholars could build upon this example and extend the effort in the interest of their
research and teaching.

and the range of interactional consequences these practices may have. Schegloff lays out nine distinct self repair
operations, and then details how one type operates. Lerner, et al. show how repair solutions themselves can become
sources of "cascading trouble" in both talk and body behavior. Kitzinger and Lerner describe a distinct lexical form of
self-repair - 'or'-initiated repair - and then expand the analysis to include other lexically-initiated and tacitly-initiated

Mary Beth Oliver, Pennsylvania State U, USA
Multitasking, the performance of two or more activities simultaneously, is a very common phenomenon in today's
media environments. Media offerings are frequently used either in combination (e.g., radio with internet) or media
usage is combined with non-media activities (e.g., eating, housework). Particularly younger adults spend more time
than ever before with multiple media use, and such activity may account for up to half of the time spent with media.
Little is known, however, about determinants, processes, and effects of multitasking media use. Multitasking media
behavior furthermore presents a serious challenge for the measurement of media exposure. This panel examines the
importance and effects of multitasking media usage and presents new theoretical approaches and recent empirical
findings.

In Germany - as in many other countries - journalism has been changing obviously during the last decades. However,
it still fulfils (more or less) a certain societal function. On the basis of two major research projects the panel analyzes
journalism in Germany and its transformation since the beginning of the 1990s. Together, both studies are able to
portray the structural and functional development on different levels of the journalistic system: journalists and their
professional roles, the organization of journalistic work in newsrooms and the formal and content-related variables of
media coverage. It will be discussed, to what extent a changing journalistic system still is identifiable and measurable
as journalism.

At a time when feminism has been reduced once again to "the woman question," that is, how many women's bodies
are present in any given political process, it seems appropriate to explore the multiplicity of ways that gendered
oppression operates through communications policy and regulatory spheres. This panel engages and expands upon
contemporary work in critical policy studies by exploring media regulation through the lens of identity politics. By
analyzing local, national, and international regulatory spheres, papers in this session seek to disassemble the identityneutral analyses of media policy and reveal how gendered, classed, and raced assumptions have inflected, and
continue to impact, the policy making process, community and activist resistance, and the lived experiences of media
workers and citizens.

This panel is designed to devote regional attention to the idea that there are significant research programs in different
world regions that make an impact on national or regional concerns in particular communication contexts and that
exemplify the distinctive nature of communication research in that locale. The central issue is how communication is
distinctive from, yet collaborative with, other disciplines in the needs of a particular world region and/or for people in

'Discourse' as a Key Term in Language and Social Interaction
Karen Tracy, U of Colorado, USA
The linguistic turn in communication and other social sciences has led to "discourse" becoming a key term in a variety
of traditions in the field. At its broadest "discourse" references both a method and several distinctive intellectual
traditions. Discourse points to the grounded analysis of talk and text, that is discourse analysis. And, influenced by
theorists such as Foucault, Habermas, and Bakhtin, it refers to larger belief systems and practices in society. This
panel brings together scholars from five traditions to illuminate the meanings and uses of "discourse" in their area of
communication scholarship: (1) political communication and rhetoric, (2) organizational communication, (3)
philosophy of communication and journalism, and (4) media studies and (5) language and social interaction.

Gender representations in children's television are an issue of particular importance. Nevertheless, we lack extensive
international analyses. This Panel presents results of a comparative study of children's TV in 24 countries. While the
focus of the quantitative content analysis is on the +26,000 fictional characters, qualitative studies offer insight into,
among others, representations of diversity, families and sexualisation of girls. Panelists from Israel, South Africa,
Germany and the United States represent the international team of scholars who worked on this project.

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, U.S. television completed shifts in its core industrial processes that
fundamentally redefined the medium and led to ample speculation that the end of television was near. Most such
prognostications drew their evidence from the medium's prime-time series, however, television has always offered
much more than this evening programming. The papers collected for this panel examine the consequences of shifts in
television's industrial and cultural norms for programming outside of prime-time, commercial television in order to
better understand the adjustments faced by the medium in their entirety as well as the culture at-large.

considers the reasons why this might be the case, investigating historical, theoretical, methodological, and political
questions for communication scholars in their encounter with religion.

The International Federation of Journalists has signaled a worrisome trend towards so-called "atypical" news work.
This means journalists are increasingly working without contracts, job security, or formal recognition of their work.
This drift calls for research on the working conditions of journalists around the world, as the group of scholars in this

This panel draws together research spanning literacy, science, and mathematics (and both educational and noneducational interactive games) to address two central questions: (1) To what degree does online gameplay reflect
children's understanding of educational content? (2) Is data mining sufficiently rich to model children's reasoning
regarding educational content, as opposed to simply counting right and wrong answers? Together, these papers lend
insight into factors that influence children's behavior during gameplay, as well as guidelines for effective use of data
mining as an assessment tool for applied reasoning in various academic subject areas.

Choice" and their stakes for theory and research in social science in general and in media and communication studies
in particular, providing the basis for well-defined comparative and historical research and for broader, cross-unit
usage of these concepts. It attempts to move the assessment of the deliberative and decision-making capacity of the
public sphere from stiff dichotomies to conceptual gradualism. The notion of unlimited reasoned public choice serves
as a methodological fiction in order to detect empirical variations. The participants address the referents and the
stakes of the keywords from the angle of their recent work which explicitly or implicitly provides elements of a

research results to non-academic audiences: correcting the tendency to infer causal relationships from correlational

engaged in deliberation fail to exhibit the needed self-discipline. The question this panel opens for presenters and
attendees, and for further research, is whether the failure to exhibit such self-discipline is variable and remediable, or
inherent; whether it arises from cultural premises and norms about how to resolve disagreements, individual
experience and skills, or a basic limitation on what people are communicatively capable of.

surveillance in national and transnational contexts. Drawing upon various examples of recent surveillance practices
such as biometric technologies and backscatter x-ray machines, age and identity verification platforms, cloud
computing and self-regulatory identity-monitoring on social network and blogging sites, this panel interrogates the
emerging digitization of the "total identity", the mechanisms for establishing and communicating such digitized
identities, and the risk-based policy principles that inform the recent standards of securization merging online and
offline contexts.

In recent years, satire and political entertainment have held an increasingly prominent place at the table of American
politics, with many citizens turning not just to the news for political analysis, but also to a wide variety of political
entertainment and satirical outlets. With this in mind, this panel evaluates how political entertainment fared on the
grand stage, by examining its handling of the 2008 US presidential election. Debriefings of campaign strategy and
journalistic coverage of elections are commonplace, but we propose to take satire and political entertainment's place
in American and global politics seriously, and hence to debrief its successes, failures, blindspots, and triumphs. How
did it invite citizens to think and talk about the election and the candidates? How did it frame the major events and
figures of the season? How, when, where, and why did it work effectively? And importantly, relative to other media
outlets' coverage of the election, what, if anything, did political entertainment add, and what, if anything, was lost?
This roundtable panel will adopt a discussion-based format to examine these and other questions, as a way of
foregrounding an interest in the intersections of ironic analysis, power and citizenship, journalistic narratives, and the
political potential of entertainment.

This panel addresses the keyword 'framing' which has emerged as, arguably, the most important term in the
contemporary analysis and critique of news and informational media. The presentations all take up the task of
analyzing, in Erving Goffman's terms, 'the basic frameworks of understanding available in our society for making
sense out of events;' and they do so with regard to events occurring in settings of great social, political and/or cultural
significance. Specifically, these topical settings include the framing of war, electoral politics, health care policy, and
science. The presentations, which include both qualitative and quantitative analysis of the social organization of
sense-making, aim to conceptually recast familiar assumptions about the media's capacity to frame issues and events
that reside at the heart of public life.

Feminist has bloomed into keyword status as it has shaped and re-shaped the evolving subfields of communication
research. In media studies alone, feminist has transcended its use as modifier. By shifting the perspective of the
researcher and point of view toward objects of study, a feminist approach to media studies has altered fundamental
categories such as "subject," "researcher," "participant" "interview," "text," and even "data" and "analysis". In
reconfiguring our relationship to these categories, the feminist in feminist media studies has revolutionized two modes
of inquiry that characterize the field: audience research and textual analysis. Moreover, as it has penetrated the once
masculinist-dominated realm of Theory, feminist reassessments have demanded a refinement in theorizing, enabling
accounts that better explain how gendered dynamics transform media texts and institutions, and how we engage with
and across them. This panel brings together feminist scholars from communication studies and related fields,
including sociology and English literature, whose work has both shaped and challenged the use of feminist in feminist
media studies. Researchers offer exempla for how feminist analysis has reconfigured—and how it continues to alter-media studies.

This panel provides analyses of various aspects of the blogosphere around the world, by means of examples from the
United States, a country of Western Europe (France), a country of the former communist bloc in Eastern Europe
(Romania), and a country in the Asia-Pacific region (Fiji). The panelists approach diverse research data from these
geographic and cultural areas with various methodologies, while commonly addressing the following problematics:
(a) the emergence and expansion of the blogosphere; (b) the roles and challenges of the blogosphere in the
re/construction of a (virtual) public sphere; and (c) the sometimes convergent and sometimes divergent relationships
between the "virtual" public sphere and the "real" public sphere. In considering these topics, the panelists position the
blogosphere as a keyword in communication.

By most accounts the professional field of journalism is changing dramatically. The papers in this internationally
diverse session show how, particularly in the eyes of journalists, news organizations remain at the center of the how
they give meaning to their work and how they perceive their role in society. This collection of studies also suggest
that in the context of reduced newsroom employment, declining audience sizes, the growing influence of new media,
and managerial adjustments, the role of the media firm needs rearticulation in journalism research.

Monroe E. Price, U of Pennsylvania, USA
One of the most important developments in world politics at the turn of the millennium is the global spread of
democratic rule. Unlike in previous 'waves of democratization' the media have been a major player both in processes
of regime change and the subsequent consolidation of democracy. However, in many instances the transition of the
institutions and practices of political communication has proven one of the most disputed and disrupted areas of
change with far-reaching consequences for the viability of the newly established democratic order. This panel brings
together a set of papers that explore the link between democratic transition and political communication in as different
parts of the world as southern Africa, central-eastern Europe and Latin America. They present new empirical evidence
and fresh theoretical insights that help to better understand the cultural, political and economic factors that shape
political communication and the public representation of politics in new democracies.

Mirko Schaefer, Utrecht U, THE NETHERLANDS
Taking historically, culturally, and technically variable media constellations as a starting point when exploring human
conditions, the question arises how processes of communicative stabili¬zation come about and how we conceive more
or less stable forms of sociability. It is widely accepted that language and media affect the way we perceive, conceive,
act, and communicate. Meanwhile, human beings have become mediating interfaces themselves, especially in the era
of networked computing. In this dialectics of mediating structures and structuring mediation various forms of
metaphors are used to indicate and delineate complex processes of material-semiotic exchange. In this session,
concepts and forms of metaphor, related modes of reference, and consequences for communication studies are
explored and discussed by means of empirical evidence and philosophical argumentations.

In response to the continued prominence and growing visibility of consumer culture throughout the world, an
interdisciplinary cluster of scholarship, labeled by some as Critical Consumer Studies, has developed to understand
the nature of modern consumerism. The field of Communication is uniquely positioned to contribute to, shape, and
dialogue with scholars who study consumer culture from other fields such as history, sociology, and marketing. This
roundtable brings together scholars from Communication and Media Studies to discuss what our field brings to the
study of consumer culture, and conversely, what a focus on consumer culture brings to the study of communication
and media.

Health literacy is becoming an increasingly significant communication issue, as it has been demonstrated to impact
the success of treatments, health interventions and the overall health status of individuals. Low health literacy has
been associated to overall poor health and linked to poor outcomes of specific diseases including cancer, diabetes, and
asthma. As access to the Internet and other technologies, such as mobile phones, are becoming increasing available to
people, they are also becoming relevant platforms of providing health information. Health literacy is now beginning
to intersect with other forms of technological literacy such as ICT literacy. This panel will discuss the relevance of
health literacy and technology literacy as important considerations when conveying health messages to the public
through use of technologies.

Reception for the Communication History Interest Group and the Feminist Scholarship Division
Communication History
Feminist Scholarship
This will be a joint reception for the Communication History Interest Group and the Feminist Scholarship Division.
The reception will feature the screening of a documentary film entitled "Out of the Question: Women, Media, and the
Art of Inquiry." Description of the film: In the 1940s, a group of often-unsung women helped lay the foundations for
the field of media research. Working at Columbia U's Bureau of Applied Social Research and government agencies
like the Voice of America and the Office of War Information, these women investigated wartime propaganda and the
emerging media cultures of American life, helped establish new research methods like the focused interview, and
carved out careers in climates that strongly favored the men they worked with. This documentary, directed by awardwinning filmmaker Naomi McCormack, charts the experiences and careers of five of these women—Thelma
Anderson, Joan Doris Goldhammer, Gladys Lang, Thelma McCormack, and Yole Sills—who together did pioneering
work on media and politics, social influence, and celebrity during a formative period for the field. "Out of the
Question" was directed and produced by Naomi McCormack (Penn State U). Executive Producer and Research
Director for "Out of the Question": Peter Simonson (U of Colorado)

Dr. Michael Pfau, Professor and Chair of the Department of Communication at the U of Oklahoma, passed away on
March 12, 2009. Michael was a prolific scholar, a mentor in the true sense of the word, and a valued friend to many in
the field of communication. His service to the International Communication Association was especially strong having
just recently stepped down from his editorship of the Journal of Communication. Michael Pfau's influence on the field
will be felt for many years to come. This session will be led by five scholars who knew Michael well and who can
share some unique perspectives on his life and work. We encourage everyone who knew Michael Pfau to come to the
session, share their experiences, and pay tribute to this preeminent scholar who will be sorely missed by the
discipline.

considers the impact of meeting phenomena on the structuring of organizational life or the health and well being of
members. Representing the disciplines of anthropology, industrial/organizational psychology, sociology and

participants in a "media acceleration" panel (the latter purchased media devices and services at a steep discount). Over
14,000 hours of observational data--two days per participant, in 10-second granularity--were logged by trained
observers in spring and fall 2008. Participants' media exposures, life activities and locations were captured throughout
each observed day. Presentations will 1) describe the study's purpose, design and execution, 2) provide an overview of
the media ecosystem with implications for media measurement and 3) explore the influence of "media acceleration"

From the annual Consumer Electronics Show to the Society of Environmental Journalists to Burning Man,
conventions, conferences and even radical art festivals are going green. What does this mean? For many groups, the
first steps toward a more sustainable gathering include using recycled paper and soy based inks, composting food
waste and purchasing carbon offsets. These somewhat cosmetic efforts present a challenge to ICA and the community
of scholars who gather annually to share their work. While small changes can be a starting point they can also serve as
a panacea that inhibits more substantive actions by alleviating the political pressure to confront climate change.
Navigating this tension while taking concrete steps - both large and small - will require leadership, structural change
and new individual behaviors. If sustainability is to be an actual keyword and not a buzzword, ICA will need to move
beyond the obvious and begin working toward an environmentally conscious, truly 21st century conference. What this
looks like and how we might get there are the challenges confronting our global academic network. This roundtable
will take up this challenge with the help of a group of scholars from across the discipline, in dialogue with the
audience and ICA leadership, with the goal of mapping out a path toward a greener ICA.

Almost all media effects research has to deal with three or four problems: relationships between variables are small
(even though exposure is almost universal), the concepts are latent and the explanatory models are hypothetical. The
lack of easily measured and manifest variables makes media effects theories vulnerable. There is a risk of too much
researcher socialization where people accept theories as valid because everybody else does and methods as sound
because it is what we are used to. In a discipline where relationships are small and debatable, it is important to explore
uncommon ground and to challenge all theories and hypotheses constantly.

On November 4th Barack Obama was elected the first Democratic president of this century and the first AfricanAmerican to take the highest Office in US history. However, his election does not only mark a potentially
fundamental change in American politics itself. The 2008 presidential campaign marked the arrival of new forms of
political communication and a distinct blurring of the realms of political and popular culture. Returning to the
political home of Barack Obama in Chicago, Illinois, this panel features four papers by scholars whose research
focuses on the interface between popular political media. It sets out to analyze and explore the multifaceted premises
and consequences of the transformations in popular and political communication that propelled as much as were
driven by Obama's campaign.

The panel draws together current work on mediated performance, in order to emphasise and develop the contribution
media studies scholarship makes to the interdisciplinary study of performance and performativity. The emphasis is on
how performances are managed in an institutional and production setting. A focus on the management of media
performances provides a fresh view on some basic issues of performativity: how performance involves the
constitution of subjectivity, identity, and the category of "person". It also introduces new dimensions to the discussion
of performance, to do with the importance of the premeditations, competences and production practices that lie behind
it. The panel's contributions examine a broad spectrum of television genres from a textual and production studies
perspective.

This panel addresses the problematic of authenticity in the context of a communicative environment where
authenticity is seen as desirable yet may not be possible once explicit claims to 'be authentic' are made. Individuals
and Organizations deploy symbolic discourses to underpin claims to authenticity with particular meanings in mind,
yet they paradoxically lose control of those meanings as the 'constructed nature' of authenticity is revealed. The
papers in this panel explore the problematic of authenticity from four different perspectives.

The panel questions a number of overlapping ideas about the legacy of interwar media scholarship, including (1) the
tendency to dismiss the concept of "mass society" as ideologically problematic; (2) the view that an exchange
between John Dewey and Walter Lippmann represented a crucial fork in the road in the development of media
studies; and (3) the claim that an interpretivist "cultural approach" to the field can be deduced from the work of
Dewey and the Chicago School.

In recent history, especially following September 11th, 2001, ethnic and racial prescriptions of self and other have
become complicated, both in the United States and globally. The notion of security, terror, and threat are re-presented
through carefully codified understandings of otherness. This panel engages with this reality by looking at covert and
overt changes/justifications/political interventions through the broad category of 'brown'. The panel, through various
approaches and examples, including popular culture, political discourses and practices, history and citizenship argues
that brown, both metaphorically and symbolically represents the changing nature of global racial politics.

After a period of relative dormancy, research on disclosure, avoidance, and/or secrecy has exploded back onto the
scene during the past 15 years. It is now a part of our fundamental understanding of interpersonsl process that people
often have to make difficult decisions about their disclosures, including if and when to disclose or keep the
information private, the conditions under which they would disclose, and potential consequences of the disclosure (or
secrecy) for themselves, others, and their relationships. The goal of this panel was to bring together the scholars that
have defined and shaped recent progress in this area and ask that they summarize existing knowledge and offer new
directions for research. All four papers do exactly that.

Political Journalism and Accountability: From the 19th Century to the Present

The aim of this panel is to invite a number of theoretical, historical and practical contributions examining and
analysing the use of objectivity in relation to the adjacent concepts that anchor it within particular contexts of the
communications environment of the twenty-first century. While there is some agreement that 'objectivity' functions
more as an abstract ideal that journalism and the news media are perpetually trying to achieve rather than a concrete
positive reality, a number of adjacent concepts -accuracy, public interest, neutrality, engagement, advocacy, trust and
accountability, define the uses of the key concept of objectivity within particular contexts. In the twenty-first century,
however, journalism as an occupation grounded on objectivity has become progressively redundant. The new
communications environment, marked by technological, social and political innovations, invites us to re-examine the
key concept objectivity and its related concepts as the ideal underpinning journalistic and news media practices.

This panel proposes a roundtable, workshop-style approach to exploring theoretical, methodological, and practical
issues surrounding global reception and production studies. "Global Media Studies" often serves as a mere
placeholder for media studies outside Anglo-American academic settings, with "global" gesturing towards studies of
"Other" media ecologies. Such studies, furthermore, are often understood as mere case studies that test and refine
theoretical concepts developed within media studies proper. This panel brings together scholars who wrestle with the
simultaneous indispensability and inadequacy of Anglo-American theoretical and methodological paradigms in
contexts such as Hungary, Malawi, Australia, India, Lebanon, and Cuba. In what ways can we move away from the
"national" as the pre-eminent analytic frame? Can other modes and theories of feeling and affect reframe our
approach to media reception? How do industry professionals in the global south grapple with the challenges and
opportunities of globalization? How might we reframe the relationship between media and the public sphere? In
tackling these and other questions, we seek to explore ways in which theoretical and methodological developments in
diverse settings worldwide might inform and revitalize media and communications studies and, more importantly,
frame new problematics for the field at large.

Paolo Mancini, U di Perugia, ITALY
In this session sponsored by the Polish Communication Association the participants will present and discuss their
respective research regarding the public sphere in their countries. We have invited some scholars from countries that
are the neighbors of Poland - Czech Republic, Slovakia and Lithuania. We try to compare a role that media play in
each of these countries. We are looking for similarities and differences among this four political and media systems.
A common understanding in contemporary media studies is that convergence of media systems and homogenization
of journalism is becoming a worldwide trend. Is this process present in the Central Europe? According to the public
sphere model, media are than just profit - making components of large conglomerates. This model views people as
citizens rather than consumers. It contends that media should serve these citizens rather than target potential
consumers. The session will explore how much "market" and how much "public sphere" are in the Central Europe and
reconstruct the relationship between them. Poland represents a big market and a one of the numerous populations in
this region, Czech Republic and Slovakia are medium size market, Lithuania is an example of small nation and small
market. From the public sphere perspective, the potential contribution of media to participatory democracy is in the
work of creating and sustaining a citizenry that is prepared for participation in public life. Do Polish, Czech, Slovak
and Lithuanian media create and sustain a citizenry? Do they help and motivate their citizens to participation in the
public sphere? Is this work easier in small or bigger "market"?

The recent dramatic change in the global economic climate is a result of an era of financial liquidity or 'easy money'
being replaced by the 'credit crunch'. This has led to an erosion of trust in financial institutions and indeed for some a
questioning of the very foundations of capitalism. This panel will argue that at this time it is apposite to reinvestigate
communitarian conceptualizations of public relations (Leeper, 2001, Wilson, 2001, Kruckenberg and Stark 2001) an
approach underpinned by stakeholder theory and often applied as corporate social responsibility. The panel includes
four papers from different countries which explore the impact of these concepts on the development of public
relations theory and practice as well as specifying areas for future research. Debate centres on how PR impacts on
society and considers how 'keywords' such as CSR and Stakeholderism have lost resonance in recent years but may
now be re-evaluated as governments are forced to intervene in corporate practice.

All too often studying 'Islam' and 'Muslims' resembles 'stamp collecting', carrying the danger of putting together
pieces of information without considering the broader context. Associated with this perceived and constructed
'singular community' is the idea that the Muslims form a cultural unity, based upon a common cultural core that only
the Orientalist is equipped to decipher. The 'debate' on 'Islam' is overshadowed by false binaries and a very narrow
optic of modernisation dichotomies: modern v tradition, Islam v West, secular v religious fundamentalism. Such
binaries suppress the diversities of histories, cultures, struggles and aspirations, and obscure and eliminate the real
'divides' In the dominant imperialist narratives of Muslim's histories and cultures are discussed in terms of how they
cause Muslims to fit or deviate from the narrative of the West's modernity. This panel directs attention to the
multivalent and multilocal characteristics of orientalist knowledge production, challenging the assumptions of an
exclusively Western agency in orientalist knowledge production.

Beyond the Conduit Metaphor: Multiple Vocabularies in the Rhetoric of Communication
Robert T. Craig, U of Colorado - Boulder, USA
The notion of "metacommunication" has had a significant impact on communication studies, particularly Bateson's
(1972) claim that the subject of discourse can be the relationship between interlocutors, (e.g., "This is play"). More
recently, LSI-oriented scholars have extended this self-reflexive practice under the rubric: "meta-talk" (Schriffin,
1980), "metalanguage" (Lucy, 1993), "metapragmatics" (Verschueren, 1999), "metadiscourse" (Craig, 2005), or
simply "going meta" (Simons, 1994). Most of the time interlocutors speak about content issues using an object
language, e.g., tables and chairs or immaterial objects such as the future or numbers. But at times participants use
language to address the discourse itself in order to comment on it. "Metadiscourse" may be characterized as "the
pragmatic use of language to comment reflexively on discourse itself" (Craig, 2008). Metadiscourse is a pervasive
feature of talk and social interaction (Lucy, 1993) in that speakers have the language awareness to comment on
features of their own or others' discourse.

The panel investigates the interaction between politicians and journalists and its outcomes in comparative perspective.
It is based on the assumption that the nature and the conditions of the working relationship between politicians as
information sources and journalists as gatekeepers to the public may only be fully understood if we take a look
beyond the professional orientations of information gathering, news selection and news production. The papers tackle
the assumption that normative underpinnings as well as national political cultures play a significant role as
explanatory variables for the media politics relationship and its manifest outcomes. Moreover from a methodological
point of view, the question is raised how we can measure and compare such manifest and latent aspects of the politics
media relationship in comparative studies with respect to national political or news cultures.

journalism to warn against premature theorizing and utopian predictions of a universal public sphere and
cosmopolitanism. Four researchers with roots in Asia, Europe, and the US will share diverse viewpoints grounded in
the following: who are the few new globalizing news sources, what capital investment and national political interests
do they represent, how did these news organizations originate, how different are they from previous international
propaganda news sources and the national printed press, what proportion of journalism around the world do they
represent today, and what impacts might they be expected to have, e.g. homogenization of news production structures,
substitutes for political parties in authoritarian states, strengthening of transnational elite classes or destabilization by
international contagion like the Wall Street crisis of 2008.

One of the strengths of framing research has been to bridge several subfields in our discipline as it deals with sources
and production, content and effects of texts. This panels brings together schoalrs representing six differnt units of ICA
to discuss framing as a keyword in communication research. As the presentations in this panel demonstrate, there is
little consensus between scholars from the different traditions as to what framing actually means. The aim of this
panel is to try to create a cross-disciplinary discourse on framing, and to update scholars from different divisions on
progress in framing research in other subfields.

Mehdi Semati, Eastern Illinois U, USA
In the post-Cold War geopolitics the Middle East and Islam play a significant role. One of the main beneficiaries of
the recent Anglo-American policies in the Middle East (the removal of Saddam Hussein and the Taliban, and the
establishment in Iraq of a political structure friendly to Iran) has been Iran. Other factors marking Iran's strategic
importance are its role in the world energy sector. Various attempts by the West to "contain" or to topple the Islamic
Republic of Iran since its inception in 1979 have failed. That IRI is in a position to pursue nuclear technology (e.g.,
successfully enriching uranium) even in the face of these policies is a telling sign that Iran has become a key player
internationally. And yet, Iran continues to be misunderstood and often dismissed as a "fundamentalist state." In the
context of the possibility of starting a new war in the Middle East, the demonization of Iran, whether deserved or not,
has led to a point where President Bush's invoking of WWIII in relation to Iran does not constitute hyperbolic
rhetoric. The question is: why? The contributors to this panel, among the distinguished specialists on the subject of
Iran, investigate the cultural and communicative constituents of this framework in which not only Iran is constituted
as an intelligible yet frightening object but also how contradictory policies by the West seem consistent and
productive.

The panel will present a meta-analysis of research data and related literature which identifies and explores different
problems in methodology, terminology, definitions and context which should be understood and overcome to support
and foster research surveys that provide reliability and comparability. The panel fits with the overarching conference
theme of 'Keywords' in communication by exploring how problems and issues with nomenclature and label choice
influence research question design, methodology and also practice comparison and compatibility. This panel aims to
discuss how we can explore the issues raised by striving for or building 'key terms of reference by which they (we)
collectively make sense of things around them (us)'(www.icahdq.org/conferences/2009/2009CFP.pdf, p. 3 accessed 1
October 2008). The panel aims to use experienced researchers' understanding and practice of context bound and cross
boundary studies to build knowledge and understanding to support research and researchers on future projects.
Specific issues and problems with comparative research methodology and practice will be presented, discussed and
debated by the panel and with the participating delegates. This will involve questioning terms and definitions with
differing meanings and interpretations such as "public companies" (US versus European meaning) as well as
structural questions like comparing company size, turnover etc. in different countries, regions and cultures
(discussions from Europe, the US and China).

research. Each paper of the panel contributes to the evolution of thought surrounding the nature of publics in public
relations, exemplifying a range of ways by which the field can consider publics. The papers of the panel also engage
in challenging traditional conceptualizations of publics through incorporating theories from other disciplines and
classical theory, suggesting that emotional factors should be included in considerations of organizational stakeholders,
and questions whether the contemporary classification of all-issue publics is still possible. As such, this panel
inherently emphasizes the need for continual investigation into the nature of publics, which has significant heuristic
potential for the study and practice of public relations.

Stephen D. Reese, U of Texas, USA
This panel reexamines the place of 'journalistic role conception' on the mass communication research agenda. Born a
half century ago when functionalism was at its ascendancy, role conception research has sometimes struggled against
and with its own theoretical assumptions. The panel explores how role conceptions, long studied at the individual
level of analysis, might be examined in new ways. Panelists revisit how journalistic role conception might better be
studied as an individual level phenomemon, but also how it might be studied and is being studied at other levels of
analysis. The panel explores how the theorizing of Bourdieu, Giddens, and others alters the research agenda on
journalistic role conception, leading not only to a new vocabulary (e.g., role perception instead of conception) but
more importantly to new ways of understanding the relationship between an individual journalist's role conception
and the organizational and cultural context in which role conceptions are formulated and enacted. The panelists draw
on their own research programs, ranging from the landmark 'American Journalist' project to the ongoing 'Worlds of
Journalisms' project, to demonstrate how new approaches yield new possibilities for role conception research.

Troping Technoscience in the Classroom: Exploring Science-Fictional Approaches
Brandon Costelloe-Kuehn, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA
Science fiction (Sci-fi) often functions to produce and describe anxieties, frame possibilities and declare probabilities
of the future. Looking at Sci-fi as a point of productive permeability between popular and expert communication, the
authors examine the role of Sci-fi as both a bridge for popular ideas about science to be communicated to scientists
and as a mechanism for scientists to have their work translated to a general audience. Thus Sci-fi performs an
important communicative and framing role as science and technology become increasingly complex and pervasive.
Stories about "bio-terrorism", "nanotechnology" or "transhumanism" offer a language for scientists to portray their
research with concepts that arose initially in fiction, thus giving the popular audience a referent for conceptualizing
scientific practice and production. Stories act to describe potential communicative conventions, determine credibility,
and mark as fictional or 'real' the content of other stories. The acceptance of stories in popular culture often
demarcates Science's fictions from Science-Fiction. The panelists draw on a variety of case studies to suggest the
boundaries between science and science fiction is more tenuous than usually considered and that examination of each
can be contributive to the other. Science's fictions are examined in the accepted use of fictive and literary metaphors
by policy makers, nano-scientists, teachers and scientists in the construction and promotion of futures and threats.
Centrally the panelists look at the way genre convention is used as a shared vocabulary to describe some potentials as
likely.

Respondent
Stig Hjarvard, U of Copenhagen, DENMARK
The concept of mediatization addresses the increased importance of media in society at both macro and micro levels
as well as it concerns the embeddedness of media in other cultural processes of modern society: globalization,
individualization etc. In Scandinavian and German research traditions mediatization has been used as a key concept
for the study of changes within political affairs, and more recently applied to research on religious change in modern.
Mediatization may be seen as a particular historical phase in which media become an independent institution at the
same time as they become integrated into the everyday life of civil society. Some scholars adopts a civilizational
perspective on mediatization, while other consider mediatization as part of a general theory of modernity. Although
conceptualizations of mediatization may differ and controversy exists over its scope and usefulness, the study of
mediatization processes has received renewed attention in recent years. The aim of this panel is to stimulate this
development by discussing key concepts relating to the application of the mediatization concept in various research
fields. Inspired by the overall theme of this year's ICA conference, the panel addresses four other selected keywords
for the study of mediatization: civilization, domestication, authority, and media culture. By examining the
interconnections between mediatization and other key concepts of media studies, social theory, and cultural studies,
the usefulness and limitations of current mediatization theory for the study of both media developments and broader
social change will be highlighted.

In Raymond Williams' influential 1976 volume Keywords, the first term to appear is one that has since nearly
disappeared in mainstream communication research: "Aesthetic." Thirty years later, this session revisits Williams'
keyword with an eye to restoring its centrality to the analysis of communication. Moving between empirical case
studies and theoretical analyses, showing their interdependence, it demonstrates that aesthetics are a driving force in
contemporary communication and should become an important element in communication research. Since philosophy
was the original home of aesthetics, the Philosophy of Communication division is a good place from where to
encourage this debate, across four divisions and interest groups. The panelists blend case studies and theoretical
analyses in order to demonstrate the importance of an analytics of the aesthetic in both production and reception
research.

Despite the increasing amounts of time infants and toddlers spend with screen media, relatively little is know about
whether, what, and how children learn from screen media at these young ages. In an effort to study these questions
from multiple perspectives, our group has received funding for the Children's Digital Media Center from the National
Science Foundation. After two years of collaborating research across multiple sites, we are gaining broader insight
into the factors involved in young children's media exposure. The goal of this panel is to share these insights with the
broader community interested in children, adolescents, and the media. The four papers in this panel represent the
different perspectives we have taken to studying media exposure in the infant and toddler years. The perspectives
have included conducting content analysis of products marketed for infant audiences, studies of how toddlers interpret
the formal features of infant-directed media, and studies of whether toddlers learn content from infant-directed media.
Our research suggests infant-directed media may not be either well-produced or effective for this special audience.
The panel session will conclude with a discussion of the implication of these findings for researchers interested in
children and media.

This panel brings together scholars who study a number of cases outside the group of countries covered by Hallin and
Mancini to explore the question of how the framework of their book does and does not apply to other kinds of
systems, to consider what other concepts, variables and media system models might need to be developed to extend
the kind of comparative analysis proposed in their book beyond Western Europe and North America. It arises out of a
series of meetings in which scholars from many parts of the world have met to compare their respective cases and to
discuss frameworks for comparative analysis. A panel based on one set of papers from this group appeared on the
program at the 2008 conference in Montreal. This panel includes a second set of papers, and reflects the continued
evolution the project.

Respondent
James S. Ettema, Northwestern U, USA
The changing nature of warfare, the emergence of new technologies and changing conceptions of foreign news have
been signifcant factors in a dramatic shift in the practices of war reporting. To some, these changes mark an end to the
tradition of independent war correspondence that bears witness to political violence around the globe. Yet, as this
panel seeks to explore, to cast journalists - and the public - as passive victims of these trends is to neglect the ways in
which information media are adapting to new contexts. For, particularly at times of violent conflict, existing
categorisations of journalism and journalists and existing news practices are being rethought. In recent conflicts from
Iraq to Afghanistan, Lebanon to South Ossetia, political violence in Gujarat to the oppression in Zimbabwe,
alternatives to the traditional foreign correspondent have become established as forms of war reporting. It is therefore
important to begin to assess the role these media practices play within journalism and in the representation of conflict,
in order to open up questions on their political impact.

Respondent
Jessica Clark, Center for Social Media, USA
This roundtable theorizes the reconfiguration of public service as a key concept in broadcasting and new media. For
over half a century the concept of public service in media has been most closely tied to the enlistment of broadcast
television to instill 'good citizenship' via commitments to particular cultural values and authorized behavior in the
name of national heritage, collective belonging, an informed citizenry, a stable society, decency, local identities
and/or democratic participation. The proliferation of commercial channels, deregulation and neoliberal rationalities of
governing have changed these arrangements. Public service is now largely conceived within the logic of the market.
Across the globe, public broadcasters are "reinventing" themselves as efficient corporate ventures that exist to serve
viewers conceived less as citizens than as customers. At the same time, broadcast and cable networks are promoting
brand identification with niche markets through entertainment-based corporate citizenship initiatives (e.g. MTV
Think, Planet Green, ABC Better Community). New technologies have, meanwhile, facilitated increasingly diffused
and privatized systems of citizenship training in the form of social networking platforms, voluntary forms of media
production such as Wikipedia, and online fan sites that constitute personalized spaces of cultural belonging with
codes of conduct that transcend national borders and cultures. Our roundtable -- comprised of experts in critical
cultural approaches to policy - will revisit concepts of public serves through addressing the broader neoliberal
movement, the state of public broadcasting in Europe, citizen branding, public service in new media, and Spanish
language public service in the US.

New Keywords offers the term "body," where Williams' original volume had not. This is one indication that
embodiment has moved downstage in communication and cultural studies since 1976. This session proposed by
Philosophy of Communication and organised by Lisa Henderson (long-term member of both Philosophy of
Communication division and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies Interest Group) brings into
conversation scholars from Philosophy of Communication (Erni), Health Communication (Jennifer Horner), Feminist
Studies (Carrie Rentschler), Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies Interest Group (Henderson as well as
Erni), Popular Communication (Janice Radway) and Communication and Technology (Thomas Streeter). Six scholars
from six divisions/interest groups consider what the body as concept, object and practice can do for communication.
Drawing from projects on girls' zines, human rights, feminist theory, the politics of health, computing, and queer
cinema, we ask how embodiment mediates such key terms as subjectivity, governmentality, ontology, modernity, and
affect.

Silencing Ethics in Discourses of the U.S. Financial Crisis
Steven K. May, U of North Carolina, USA
Two linked panel sessions examine the communicative dimensions of the global financial crisis that became manifest
in 2008. The roots of the crisis encompass organizational strategy and culture, the development of innovative
financial instruments, promotion of new attitudes toward risk, and the globalization of markets. These factors led to a
series of interlinked events culminating in severe investment losses for organizations and individuals, widespread
mortgage failures, and the rapid development and deployment of government "rescue" or "bailout" packages. The
consequences of this crisis are likely to persist and evolve for years to come. Lessons are to be learned in the areas of
government regulation and oversight; corporate governance and social responsibility; public relations and crisis
communication; stakeholder communication; communication ethics; and organizational systems, culture, and
strategy. Examining the role of communication in the production of these events, and in the emerging responses, can
yield valuable insights for theory and practice. The fields of Organizational Communication and Public Relations
offer particularly relevant resources for reflexive engagement with the origins and consequences of the global
financial crisis. Thus we have developed two conference panels, jointly sponsored by the two divisions, to facilitate
an extended dialog among the presenters and others who attend the sessions. The discussants plan to keep their
overall comments concise, and to serve primarily as facilitators for substantive open and interactive discussions.

Respondent
Robert L. Heath, U of Houston, USA
Rhetoric and public relations embody "Keywords in Communication". This panel addresses the gulf between
organizational (management) and communication (public relations) scholarship, with the intent of narrowing it, and
working to make organizations more reflective as rhetors. The central focal point of analysis of this panel is how
organizations enact the multiple voices in what Burke (1969) called the wrangle in the marketplace of ideas.
Organizations play a role in our communities and public relations scholars need to analyze their discourse. This panel
explores the rhetorical challenges facing organizations as they are called on to make communities better places in
which to live. The central theme is how can organizational rhetors work to make societies or communities more fully
functioning?

Urban communication examines the role of communication in the city and community. For the first time, in 2007,
more than half the world's population lives in urban areas. The city is a complex context that shapes and is shaped by
communication. Urban communication speaks to 1) how a city communicates and 2) how cities facilitate
communication. The city is, as has always been, a media environment yet as resilient and timeless as the form and
function of the city may be, communication technologies alter the parameters of the urban landscape. Urban
communication research ranges from traditional settings to suburban sprawl. Urban communication is a fairly new
"keyword" embodying a longstanding seam of research. The form of urbanity and community was an intrinsic part of
this theme in the scholarship of James W. Carey. He was concerned with the impact of time and spaced media upon
the changing form of the urban domain and the consequence of accelerated change upon community. Urban
communication research explores urban social interaction and civic engagement in an age of global communication. It
crosses the communication discipline and brings communication to other disciplines. It represents theoretical and
applied research.

Respondent
W. Russell Neuman, U of Michigan, USA
The new media environment is facilitating new manifestations of audience behavior as well as new mechanisms for
monitoring and analyzing audience behavior. Developments such as increased interactivity, increased fragmentation,
increased multi-media usage, increased control, and increased opportunities for audiences to provide feedback to
content providers (and even to become content providers) all reflect the changing nature of media audiences. At the
same time, technological advances have facilitated the gathering and analysis of data related to these, and other,
aspects of the audience, as newer media leave a variety of more tangible and observable indicators of media usage and
response than do traditional electronic and print media. It is this relationship between audiences' media usage and the
institutionalized systems for observing and analyzing this media usage that is the focus of this panel. This panel will
explore the ways that the digital media environment is both challenging traditional institutionalized representations of
the audience, as well as generating new representations of the audience. In addition, this panel will consider the
broader cultural and political repercussions of the dynamics of contemporary representations of the audience and how
they are used by various stakeholders. These issues will be addressed from theoretical, methodological, and empirical
perspectives.

developments in the field: non-hedonic choices, habitual or automatic choices, planned choices, and media choices
embedded in social networks. All presented approaches stress different, though related factors. Thus, the overall
composition of the current panel offers integrative insight, but also allows for a fruitful debate about potentially
incompatible assumptions in the field.

in communication. This panel addresses that middle-range keyword in historical and cross-national perspective. It
sketches the development and dissemination of journalistic and social scientific interviews from the late nineteenth
century to the present, and considers the contemporary significance of the interview as research method, cultural

The Polytechnic Agenda: An Opportunity Lost?
Philip Lodge, Napier U, UNITED KINGDOM
This panel begins with the premise that 'British communication studies' is in itself a contested term, and, if it has an
agreed meaning, then it represents a fragmented disciplinary environment. The contours of this fragmented
environment were mapped historically by the circumstances which influenced the acceptance of communication as a
field of study in British tertiary education, in particular the influence of the thorough-going sociological methodology
of the members of the Centre for Mass Communication Research at the U of Leicester in the early 1960s. The tertiary
divide between older universities and polytechnics had the effect of marginalising the modern disciplines, notably
communication, into the polytechnic agenda, where it was reconfigured into a form of vocationalism. The relationship
between the sectors was and is one of historical transition and complexity, not least due to the influence of
geographical factors: north versus south; particular regions - but not recognisable schools of influence; Leicester,
Leeds, London, Birmingham. With networking at the individual level but with the lack of a national organisation, the
landscape is one of disciplinary and physical fragmentation. In this context, this panel will explore from the
perspective of key practitioners the factors which created this situation, and ask if there is still the possibility of a
unified disciplinary identity for British Communication studies.

The Containment of Whiteness: Barack Obama's 2008 Presidential Campaign as a Redemption Drama
Michael G. Lacy, Colorado State U, USA
One can hardly overstate the historic significance of Senator Barack Obama's 2008 run for the U.S. presidency. The
first African American to be nominated to the highest political office by a major political party, media coverage of
Obama's candidacy has spurred a vibrant and, for some, unprecedented exchange within the public sphere. Pollsters
and pundits alike note rising levels of public excitement and attentiveness to presidential politics suggesting that the
current moment represents a break from public apathy and disengagement that have described political culture in the
United States in recent decades. As Obama himself takes shape as an enigmatic yet absorbing figure in public
opinion, a number of questions emerge that are of particular significance for media and communication scholars.
What cultural attitudes about race, racial equality, and the American nation do we find circulating in media coverage
of Obama and his viability as a candidate? How might we trace the influences of racial mythologies inherited from
history as well as those invented in the trenches of the 2008 presidential campaigns? What confusions and
complexities do we find the Obama candidacy fomenting within circulating discourses of a "post-racial," "colorblind"
America? Approaching these questions from a variety of methodological perspectives, speakers on this panel offer
rhetorical, cultural, and news analyses animated by and responding to Barack Obama and the 2008 Presidential
campaigns as they fire up public engagement, shift voting patterns, and redraw racial allegiances in the post-civil
rights moment.

Preschool children are among the most sensitive target audiences for television. Therefore it is particularly important
to conduct appropriate research into providing as high-quality programming as possible, the kind which offers
children support and clarifies problem areas. Using four research examples involving preschool children, the panel
illustrates how academic research and its translation into actual television programming practice can operate. A
multimedia platform for learning global citizenship, the understanding of gestures and facial expressions of cartoon
characters, fear during television viewing within the family circle and an innovation in quality television for
preschoolers the "parent bar" have been studied. Alongside questions of content, methodological questions are
addressed.

Public deliberation is the direct involvement of citizens in making decisions on behalf of society after due
consideration of alternative courses of action and using rational methods of analysis. It may be distinguished from the
simple feedback mechanisms of media programming (such as phone-in radio shows, television talk shows, and web
polls), because as Habermas points out, these well-known methods are formalized, emphasize etiquette, and seek to
avoid substantive conflict. The Internet provides citizens with new access to information about public institutions.
Public processes for participation have not kept pace with this increase in information. This panel will consider public
deliberation from a number of perspectives. Public deliberation online allows members of the public to become more
knowledgeable about social and political issues in ways that are both straightforward and subtle. The panelists will
discuss current scholarship in the area, including the results from three large studies that suggest that online
deliberation may lead to more varied argument repertoire, more informed opinion, and increased discrimination
among policy decisions.

modern liberal democracies, in particular by analyzing its structural relation with specific political-economic
conditions and by observing the models of political representation and citizenship the genre articulates. The panel
thus interrogates the increasing popularity of fake news programs by moving beyond their immediately visible
function of satirizing institutional actors and information sources. The panelists' main goal is to contribute to an
understanding of the functioning of the fake news genre as an emerging legitimate space for political discourse, in
particular by corroborating the current body of knowledge with an array of international case studies.

In the process of multimedia globalization a pool of both culturally specific and global "Key Visuals" has been
established. Key Visuals may originate from very diverse fields like journalism, entertainment, science, politics, art,
technology, or popular culture. They can be indexed according to the type(s) of media, the time horizons and scopes
of viewerships, are canonized in outstanding mediated events and can have a dramatic impact on co-orienting and
coordinating social activities beyond any verbal communication. These multifaceted dimensions of visualizing and
imagining key components of public, intermediate, and private spheres require a review of the state of key visual
concepts, methods, and theories as well as a preview of future challenges. This cross-unit panel (Visual
Communication Studies Division, Political Communication Division, Global Communication / Social Change

Respondent
Douglas A. Boyd, U of Kentucky, USA
Writing the Global/International Communication textbook can be quite a challenge. Global Communication has long
been featured as coursework in many Communication and Journalism Departments, but we continue to debate which
philosophical foundations should guide such a course, as well what content should be featured. The course varies
greatly depending on 1) in which program the course is offered—Communication, Mass Media, Telecommunications
or Journalism, 2) where in the world the course may be taught—United States, Europe, the Developing World, etc.,
and 3) the instructor's educational and professional background. In early years, efforts to provide students with an
overview of Global Communication often resulted in a comparative examination of certain national approaches to
media practices, structures and regulation. About two decades ago, we saw a marked shift in focus away from the
"comparative" media approach in favor of a newer "umbrella" model. Under the new model, greater emphasis was
placed on culture and politics and media systems were deemphasized. The purpose of the panel is to discuss the
advantages and disadvantages of the various perspectives with disciplinary future as well as student needs in mind.
Panelists will explore the many factors that have influenced Global Communication education which range from
industry needs to societal demands. The effectiveness of the various disciplinary approaches will be examined. The
ultimate purpose is to better understand the dilemma that faces Global Communication education today, and
formulate solutions which may rectify the curricular problem.

This panel highlights the work of 16 policy researchers from 11 American universities (6 will take part in this

January 2009. The work of the group was funded by the Media Democracy Fund, is to be published as an edited
volume by Lexington Books on the week of the new President's inauguration, and will be launched in Washington
D.C., with the participation of Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein of the FCC and Gene Kimmelman, Vice President
of Consumers Union. The policy prescriptions offered by this group take into account the current crisis plaguing U.S.
communications policy, and offer a path which policymakers should take in order to support a future in which the
United States will reclaim its position as a leader, trendsetter and inovator in the field while ensuring an emphasis is
put on the potential of information technologies for improving democratic discourse, social responsibility, and the
quality of life, and on the means by which information technologies can be made available to all Americans. Indeed,
policy alone will not suffice, but it is an indispensable tool in this effort. The presentations in the panel will address
background theoretical concerns, a discussion of the role of academics in public life, a comparison of American
communication policies with those of European and Asian powerhouses, and policy prescriptions in three of the
topics covered in the book: rural connectivity, media ownership and children in the digital age.

Respondent
Gianpietro Mazzoleni, U of Milan, ITALY
The panel discusses the theoretical value as well as the empirical evidence of mediatization as an analytical and
integrative concept for political communication research. Mediatization describes a distinctive stage in the long-term
development of contemporary mass democracies in which many political processes have grown more or less
dependent on the mass media and their specific media logic. In contrast to models of a one-sided dependency, the
concept of mediatization focuses on the dynamic interaction and complex interdependence in the media/politics
relationships on various levels and dimensions. Therefore, it is important to distinguish between the more dynamic
and complex concept of "mediatization of politics" and the more descriptive and static concept of "mediated politics".
But in order to cope with the complexity and interdependency, it is important to formulate clear theoretical
assumptions and derive clear empirical indicators to measure the degree of mediatization on different levels.

Popular Communication is global communication: in the face of media convergence traditional boundaries of national
communication maintained and enforced through national broadcasters and publishing houses, both reflective of the
mercantile formation of the nation state and its institutional power, are increasingly eroded and crossed. Economic
globalization driven by the capitalist imperative of market expansion in term has fuelled the concentration of media
and cultural industries on supernational levels, leading to the formation of distinct cores and peripheries in the
production of popular communication around the globe. This economic globalization of media and cultural industries
in turn is furthered by political forces of deregulation and free trade which have facilitated the transationalization and
diversification of national and local media markets. Migration driven by social and economic macro foces has in turn
further challenged national boundaries in popular communication through the formation of diasporic and hybrid
cultures. This keynote panel aims to explore the interplay between popular communication and forces of globalization
and trasnsnationalization and to assess its impact on media production and consumption. The panel will therefore
addresses fundamental concerns of popular communication research including questions of gender and sexuality, of
participation and the public sphere, nationalism and regionalism, the impact of new media, Western hegemony and
modernity. In this analysis the roundtable builds on the 2008 Popular Communication keynote panel by assessing the
methodological and conceptual challenges of Popular Communication in the 21st century.

Academic institutions worldwide are under increasing pressure to comply with norms and requirements regarding the
"quality" of their research. The "audit culture" is often imposed upon research communities on the basis of crude and
standardized sets of criteria derived from other contexts. Research in social science and humanities is being
increasingly evaluated using quantitative indicators that often appear unfit and were not debated within the
community. This panel will discuss one particular area of quality assessment, that of academic publications. The
criteria and the rationale of journals ranking will be debated, with a view to understand how new means of
dissemination will reconfigure the issue. Indications about how these issues are perceived by the research community
will be presented. Panel hosted by: the ECREA, IAMCR and ICA joint Working Group on Quality in Communication

Harnessing the wisdom of crowds engages three problems: (1) cognition, the problem of focusing information held by
dispersed individuals on generating knowledge, making forecasts, etc.; (2) coordination, setting procedures to pursue
these tasks; (3) cooperation, getting self-interested individuals to work together. This panel explores these problems in
several technological settings using both qualitative and quantitative methods. It addresses not only the processes of
production but also the quality of knowledge and nature of discourse generated within and through new ITCs.

This conference theme panel examines the keyword "community." Featuring leading scholars in the emerging field of
community media studies, the panel explores the fundamental relationship between communication and community.
We start from the premise that "community" has significant heuristic value for taking stock of the field of
communication. Indeed, community seems an appropriate starting point to (re)consider the place of the field in
contemporary society. What's more, if, as John Dewey famously observed, "there is more than a verbal tie between
the words common, community, and communication" then community media studies--with its focus on participatory
communication, community development, and local cultural expression--is well suited to interrogate this fundamental
relationship. Specifically, the panel features four papers that consider the keyword community through the lens of
community media studies.

Consuming Kids: The Commercialization of Childhood Film Screening
Sponsored Sessions
Chair
Michael O. Rich, Center on Media and Child Health, USA
Participant
Alex Peterson, Media Education Foundation, USA
Consuming Kids throws desperately needed light on the practices of a relentless multi-billion dollar marketing
machine that now sells kids and their parents everything from junk food and violent video games to bogus educational
products and the family car. Drawing on the insights of health care professionals, children's advocates, and industry
insiders, the film focuses on the explosive growth of child marketing in the wake of deregulation, showing how youth
marketers have used the latest advances in psychology, anthropology, and neuroscience to transform American
children into one of the most powerful and profitable consumer demographics in the world. Consuming Kids pushes
back against the wholesale commercialization of childhood, raising urgent questions about the ethics of children's
marketing and its impact on the health and well-being of kids. The screening will be followed by a Question and
Answer discussion with Dr. Michael Rich, director of the Center on Media and Child Health and Alex Peterson,
Marketing Director of the Media Education Foundation

ethics, media representation and the use of new technologies. Fragility addresses both the nature of media agents as
well as the complex and changing nature of communication research in a globalized world, which is unequal and
sometimes contradictory. The presentations focus on media performances of fragility in view of the representation of
city cultures, media scandals and terrorism, whilst revealing the interconnectedness arising from technology, namely
from the mobile phone, as a platform that induces social and gender fragility.

Academic Serials in Communication - Unified System: Envisioning and Planning a Social Networking Site for
the Communication Discipline
Sponsored Sessions
Web 2.0 technologies are fostering new opportunities for social and professional engagement. A social networking
site, modeled loosely on Facebook or MySpace, may be used to promote collaborative opportunities for research and
other professional activity if such a technological capability was available to members of the communication
discipline. In this working session, attendees will envision the scope, functionality, and attributes of a social
networking site for the communication discipline. We will have a discussion in which we sketch out the design and
parameters of a site, and we will focus attention on these questions: what should the site include? what characteristics
would stimulate dynamic and constructive participation? how can we maximize the likelihood that users will view the
siteas valuable and productive? Attendees are asked to bring their ideas to this brainstorming session.

Public Trust: Theoretical Foundations and a New Research Instrument

The purpose of this panel session is to discuss how a focus on sociological "keywords" such as trust, reflexivity,
legitimacy, influence and power can drive public relations theory towards a greater understanding of its ontological
place in the global. It also asks how these keyword concepts can help us gain a wider understanding of the practice of
public relations. The questions this panel will attempt to answer are not simply whether sociologists and sociological
keywords have contributed positively or negatively to the development of the sociology of public relations, as this
topic was framed substantially in 2006. Rather it is to question of whether sociological keywords, seen previously as
minor sociological representations of public relations, are of greater epistemological, methodological or technological
value. Keywords such as trust, legitimacy and power must be seen as crucial to the theoretical development and
ethical practice of public relations and contribute towards a theory "of" public relations rather than a theory "for"
public relations.

This panel uses the keywords of race and representation to investigate how mixed-race bodies are imagined in the
media. We tease out the ways in which multiracial people's ability or failure to adequately represent a racial ideal
defines racial differences, as multiracial people have been branded as racially marginal. We argue that skepticism
about racial authenticity and seeming resistance to easy categorization helps clarify the processes of racial
signification for multiracial bodies in the media.

Joseph N. Cappella, U of Pennsylvania, USA
The sayings, "Pretty is as pretty does," "Beauty is only skin deep," and "You can't judge a book by its cover" provide
cautionary messages that recognize a simple fact - beauty persuades. Not surprisingly, therefore, the persuasive
effects of beauty have been the focus of considerable research within the communication sciences. The vast majority
of empirical work examining the effects of beauty has focused on the efficacy of using facial beauty to serve
commercial interests through advertising. Such work places a heavy emphasis on visual communication typical of
print, film, and on-line media. Yet the communicative function of beauty is not restricted to the visual modality or
facial cues. Such narrow focus is likely to overlook other cues used by observers who evolved to perceive cues across
multiple channels. Far from being merely a means to an end, attractiveness appears to communicate important
information about oneself to observers. This paper panel examines the functional role of attractiveness in
interpersonal communication. Each paper focuses on one mode of communication (visual, auditory, and olfactory),
and explicates the role of attractiveness therein.

This panel combines a focus on advancing framing theory, employing GCC as a context, with producing research that
has important implications for science and health communicators. The four papers on the panel represent a diversity
of scholars, approaches, and methodologies that examine the roles of institutions, messages, and audiences in framing
theory. By placing papers that approach framing from very different perspectives, but at the same time all focus on
GCC, the panel provides an opportunity to compare and contrast differing dimensions of framing theory, better
understand its overall explanatory potential, and further integrate framing into a more cohesive theoretical paradigm.

Retroactive Futurity in the Media City of Shanghai

The city is the most important locus of emergent communication technologies and networks (Graham 2004). Recently
communication scholar Scott Mcquire (2008) has argued against seeing media as something separate from the city
and called for conceiving the spatial experience of modern social life emerging through a complex process of coconstitution between architectural structures and urban territories, social practices and media technologies/practices.
Still the dominant theorization and conceptualization of cities and media has occurred outside the field of media and
communication studies, e.g. within cultural geography (addressing the 'networked' or 'cyber' city), sociology
(delineating the 'informational' or 'global' city) and architecture theory and urban planning (forecasting the 'city of
bits' or the postmodern theme park). This panel seeks to draw on the interdisciplinary work carried out within urban
studies, while presenting an alternative to dominant trends. The papers in this panel range from addressing
emplacement and identity the digital city, the centrality of ubiquitous media through the interdependence of
architecture and mediation in cities, the roles of nostalgia and memory within the new technologized city, the long
history of new media cities and of simulations in urban spaces. The aim is to advance these discussions by
highlighting the various aspects and forms of convergence of media and cities, and by thoroughly historisizing the
'new.' In this pursuit the papers elaborate several important keywords in communication such as space, mediation,
mobility, simulation and networks.

This panel will explore the keyword of evolution from five perspectives: Survival, as opposed to the fittest, part of
this evolutionary mantra. Survival is the key to winning the evolution game and there are two sides to survival –
staying alive and reproduction. Public policy makers seldom consider that the process of constructing regulations
aimed at effecting or controlling human behavior might be vastly improved through an initial consideration of human
evolutionary history by natural selection. The Darwinian concept of evolution can itself be described as the outcome
of an information system -- one where biological organisms compete for survival against members of their own
species, members of other species, and environmental variables. What results from this ongoing process are naturallyselected attributes which at one time, and for an extended period of time, prove beneficial in the search for
nourishment and procreation, as well as the fending off of predators. Drawing from research in political and cognitive
science, as well as evolutionary psychology, the idea that television news is doing a disservice to the public sphere is
not only wrong – it prevents us from understanding this medium’s potential as an information source.; Who is to
blame for stereotypes: The media or evolution? Much of the media research is focused on the inclusion of
stereotypical portrayals in mediated messages, but does not investigate further to examine what cognitive mechanisms
are at work. By investigating, and subsequently better understanding these different mechanisms, researchers will be
able to more fruitfully understand the media’s role in audience’s perceptions of certain groups.

Brenda Weber, Indiana U, USA
Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin has been the subject of much discussion and debate in the United
States news and entertainment. Her surprise pick as John McCain's running mate during the 2008 Presidential election
catapulted her into the national media spotlight. Virtually overnight, the self-proclaimed "hockey mom" turned
political maverick was positioned as the rising star of the Republican Party. On the campaign trail, Palin cultivated an
image as an "ordinary Jane," invoking just enough sex appeal to court the "average"—and presumably white and
heterosexual—"Joe Six Pack." This roundtable draws together a diverse group feminist critics and scholars of race,
ethnicity, and sexuality to examine the complicated and contradictory public constructions of, and discourses
surrounding, Sarah Palin. How has her candidacy been constructed and framed by the popular press and media? The
participants on this roundtable analyze different aspects of Palin's public image—as an object of political parody, a
gendered makeover project, a signifier of whiteness and racial tension, an example of conservative feminism, for
example—and suggest that her political persona blurs traditional gender norms while simultaneously reinforcing
racial and class divisions and heteronormative ideals of beauty and desire. Collectively, these papers reveal the
importance of critical cultural analyses of the "Palin factor" that address the intersection of feminist theory,
scholarship on race/ethnicity, and queer studies.

This panel provides a deeper examination of keywords in communication, particularly in terms of ongoing processes

political contexts in which media exist. Impacts of sweeping demographic shifts and international influence in media
markets, political communication in Spanish-language broadcasting, and exploring digital savvy in the digital divide
are discussed in terms of scholarly trajectories and evolving understanding. A case study of organizational response to
dramatic transformations in audience demographics informs our understanding of how and why media interpret the
world as they do for their audiences by providing important illumination of the boundaries between organizational
and institutional variables in an historical context. Shades of meaning in Spanish-language U.S. broadcasting political
communication during the 2008 primary season represent important instances of interpretation and schematic

This panel examines the role of the media in shaping elections, referendums, and plebiscites in new and old
democracies. It adopts a comparative approach by analyzing mediated deliberation and voting behavior in Brazil,
Chile, and the United States. The papers discuss several examples of voting processes where communication played a
central role, including the 1988 plebiscite that inaugurated Chile's transition to democracy, the 2005 national
referendum for banning firearm and ammunition sales in Brazil, and the 2008 ballot initiative to prohibit same-sex
marriage in California. It also discusses television news coverage of five presidential elections in Brazil. These cases
of mediated voting are analyzed from a diversity of theoretical perspectives, including framing theory, deliberative
democracy, and theories of political representation. They also consider a variety of forms of communication,
including television and print news coverage and political advertising. The panel contributes to broaden political
communication research by comparing how mechanisms of civic participation are shaped by the different political
environments of new and older democracies.

Information and Communication technologies have changed daily as well as organizational life. For example, the
internet has moved from being an innovative technology to a commodity. Consequenlty, the Communication and
Technology division needs to rethink what the central issues are that need investigation. Also, the board of ICA has
asked the divisions to examine their charter statements. During the Communication and Technology (CAT) Business
Meeting in Montreal in 2008 it was decided that the division needed to measure its member profile through keywords
used by CAT members. A task force consisting of the people that propose this panel was formed. In the early summer
of 2008 we asked CAT members to fill out an online questionnaire. The focus of the questionnaire was on the degree
to which respondents feel affiliated to each of the ICA divisions as well as a broad set of keywords. In the panel we
will first present the results of the research which includes a network analysis among CAT members (N=177). After
that we will open the floor for discussion on the keywords within the Communication and Technology Division. This
discussion can serve as a basis for a new charter statement of the CAT Division.

The Mediation of Vulnerability: Towards a Postemotional Humanitarian Sensibility
Lilie Chouliaraki, London School of Economics and Political Science, UNITED KINGDOM
Mediation, a concept with a long history in philosophy, linguistics, critical theory and sociology and one of the
keywords in Williams' original book, has been receiving considerable attention in media studies in recent years
(Silverstone 1999 and 2005; Chouliaraki 2006; Couldry 2008; Livingstone 2008). Similarly, emotions are being
studied as inextricable parts of social and political life signalling an 'emotional turn' in social sciences and humanities.
The relationship between mediation and emotion, however, has not yet been adequately addressed. How can we best
conceptualise this relationship? Which theoretical perspectives can inform the articulation between mediation and the
production of emotions? What is the distinctive analytical value of a mediational approach and what can it contribute
to the understanding of media and the expression of emotions in our contemporary worlds?

Our panel brings together instances of cultural analysis from four global sites (India, Romania, Japan and Puerto
Rico) in order to problematize the old debates within Cultural Studies. Specifically our study of music cultures
transcends and eschew the binaries of hegemony and resistance and hence claims that the uses of culture in a global
context are far more complex and varied. Hence we seek to expand the rubric for studying global culture by showing
its malleability. We do this by fore-grounding the idea of negotiation as a key term around which to anchor our
analyses and show how each of these heterogenous instance of global musical cultural formation entails an act of
negotiation.

Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, Ohio State U, USA
This session's papers showcase enormous diversity in method and focus but together they tackle the the complexities
of gender in news. Included here are analyses of content, in depth-interviews with working journalists, and an
experimental study focused on gender as an audience variable in processing news. The findings of these scholars are
not likely to offer assurance to those who hope for a gender-neutral news sphere. Indeed, these papers renew the
urgency for more research to understand the dwindling number of female news consumers and the persistence of
discriminatory routines in newsrooms and in news content across the world.

Cross-national comparative research has become a popular strategy for conducting globally influential and policy
relevant large scale research; it has also become an opportunity for the cosmopolitanization of media and
communication research, for scholarly cross-boundary collaborations and for the systematic study of phenomena and
practices that surpass singular cultural and geographical zones. At the same time, cross-national comparative research
has presented some major epistemological challenges, especially in relation to conducting large scale research and
empirical studies in global contexts. For example, cross-national comparative research requires a reflexive outlook
that, while adopting the national as a privileged context for research conduct, it can produce outcomes with
transnational relevance; it also demands sensitivity towards differences within and across systems, while sustaining a
comparative approach. As it becomes a popular choice among funding bodies and academic networks, cross-national
comparative research presents an opportunity to expand our understanding of the relevance and comparability of
cross-boundary phenomena and practices. It also presents us with the opportunity to develop a reflexive outlook on
the relation between the particular and the universal/global. Having engaged in various cross-national comparative
research projects, the members of this panel ask a number of questions around the practice, the theoretical
contribution and the future of this kind of research.

This panel presents up-to-date findings of a multi-national interview study on the inclusion of user-generated content
in mainstream online media. The collaborative project is based on a large number of in-depth interviews with chief
editors, online journalists and community managers of 23 online news media in 10 countries. By contrasting the
developments in these countries from different perspectives, we are able to identify national differences and
similarities, extracting general developments, regional trends and some idiosyncrasies.
