Mass Communication Division
National Communication Association
October 2005

Published three times annually by the Mass Communication Division of NCA.
Publications Editor - Adam Earnheardt, Youngstown State University


Newsletter Contents:


Welcome from the Division Chair

Greetings to all members of the Mass Communication Division, and a warm welcome to new members and to our student members.

As I had reported in my previous communication with you, MCD has had a successful year. With the increase in the slot expansion we had an increase in paper submission of high quality. That the Division fulfilled all of its 45 assigned slots with strong papers and panels reflects the vitality of our Division. We have a great program for you in Boston. I look forward to seeing you all there.

On the behalf of the Division I would like to thank Vice Chair Kristen Harrison and Research Committee Chair Lance Holbert for an outstanding job they have done for us. They have had to work with an online system that is, in my view, still being perfected. I want to thank Jim Walker, our immediate passed Chair, for his continued support and wisdom throughout the last year.

I am pleased to report that the Division will present teaching award to Professors Mary Beth Oliver (Penn State University) Joshua Meyrowitz (University of New Hampshire).

I would like to remind our members that we have a new website for the Division (http://www.clarion.edu/ncamass/). In addition to the Welcome Note from the Chair, which serves as an introduction to the Division for those who seek us in various capacities, other useful information and links are there for the membership of the Division. I have learned that NCA might be in a position in the future to provide additional support for a listserv and web presence for the Division.

This is the last note I write to you as the Chair of the Division. I believe we have much to be proud in this Division. The successful expansion of the Division in terms of program, the recognition of the work we do by our colleagues and by NCA, and the visibility of our members throughout the NCA and the larger academic community are among the factors that make this Division a vital component of NCA and the field of communication studies. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the membership for allowing me to serve the Division. I would like to thank all of the officers in the Division for their service to the Division and for their diligent and prompt replies to my requests and queries. Jim Walker, Kris Harrison, Lance Holbert, Emmett Winn, Heather Hundley, Cindy Lont, and Adam Earnheardt have been especially helpful to me as I performed my tasks as the Chair. I thank them all for their work; it has been a pleasure working with them.

It has indeed been a pleasure serving a Division that I consider my academic home and a membership I consider friends and mentors. I expect and hope my association with the Division and its members will be stronger in the future.

Chair, Mass Communication Division, NCA

Call for Nominations and Current Ballot
Call for Nominations for 2005-06 Officers

The Mass Communication Division Nominations Committee is seeking nominations and self-nominations for division officer positions for 2005-2006. Nominations are sought for the offices of (1) Vice Chair Elect, (2) Secretary, (3) Research Committee Member, (4) Publications Editor, (5) Nominations Committee Members (five positions), (6) Graduate Student Representative, (7) Representative to the NCA Nominating Committee, and (8) Representatives to the NCA Legislative Council (2).

If you or someone you know is interested in serving, please contact Cindy Lont, clont@gmu.edu, Nominations Committee Chair.

Vice-Chair Elect:  The year that a person is elected to vice-chair elect, that person will be responsible for overseeing the announcements of the teaching/service awards, and for selecting the award winner (with help from other members of committee). The following fall, when the person assumes the position of vice-chair, this position entails going to the program planning meeting at NCA, distributing the call for papers at the business meeting, and making sure that the call for papers is given to the program planners. As vice-chair, the person assumes the responsibility of program planner for the division, overseas the judging of panel submissions, and, with the aid of the chair of the research committee, arranges panels and competitive papers into sessions that are submitted to the NCA program planners for consideration. The responsibilities involved in this position are heaviest immediately after the convention, in February and March when division members submit papers and proposals, and during the convention itself when planning meetings occur.

Secretary:  The secretary assumes responsibility for creating and maintaining a record of communication and events at the business meeting during our annual convention. The secretary's position spans two years. The first year the secretary takes notes during the meeting, following the format set in previous years. Election results will occur simultaneously during regular business. Those notes should be organized and put into a word process file as soon as possible after the meeting and distributed to the vice chair and secretary for review. After any corrections, a permanent version of the notes can be sent to other officers and printed for inclusion in the archive. The second year the secretary is responsible for distributing the notes to meeting attendees and presenting the notes formally at the beginning of the business meeting.

Research Committee:  The person who is elected as a member of the Research Committee will stay on the committee for three years. The first year as a member of the Research Committee, the second year as the Chair-Elect, and the third year as the Chair of the Research Committee. The responsibilities of the first two years on the Committee are mainly to assist the work of the Chair, and to be determined by the Chair. The third year as the Chair of the Committee, the person will coordinate convention paper reviews for the Division, and program competitive paper sessions based on the results of the reviews.

Publications Editor:  The job of the Publications officer is to serve as a conduit of information among NCA Mass Communication Division members and does the following three things:

  • Maintain the email list by updating it periodically (i.e., there is a constant churn in the list as new members join, some change addresses, and others drop out, etc.).

  • Writing and dispersing via e-mail three e-newsletters (e.g., in February, June, October/November).

  • Maintaining a e-mailing list can be time consuming, as can editing and producing newsletters.

The position is enjoyable and is an important professional service. Many members of the Mass Communication Division rely heavily on the newsletter, especially the electronic newsletter, for relevant information about research, careers, and the profession.

Nominations Committee: (five people elected, including Chair)  The Chair of the Nominations Committee solicits self and other nominations from various MCD positions from members of the Mass Communication Division and from members of the Nominating Committee. It is wise to solicit and receive such nominations by the end of the summer prior to the NCA annual meeting. In consultation with members of the Nominating Committee, the Chair seeks and receives input about the nominees and finalizes a slate of candidates for each position. With the assistance of Committee members, the Nominating Committee Chair conducts the elections during the MCD's Business Meeting at the NCA Annual Convention.

Graduate Student Representative:  This person serves as a "voice" representing graduate student interests in the division, relaying issues of interest and concern to officers within the division.

Representative to the NCA Nominating Committee:  The NCA Nominating Committee is responsible for preparing a slate for the election of the second Vice President, for the at-large members of the Legislative Council and for the at-large members for the Committee on Committees.

Representatives to the NCA Legislative Council (2 people):  The Legislative Assembly is the principal policy making body of NCA. Representatives are responsible for establishing internal and external policies and for managing the association's resources and programs. Representatives must come to the convention early for the first Legislative Council meeting. We encourage all faculty including junior faculty members to apply for this rewarding experience.

2006 Call for Competitive Papers and Thematic Panels

The Mass Communication Division invites competitive papers and thematic panel proposals for program sessions addressing theory, research, or methodological issues in mass communication.

I. COMPETITIVE PAPERS

It is the policy of NCA that each unit should only accept one paper from any person submitting as first author.

Deadline: February 15, 2006

Paper length is limited to 25 pages, excluding tables and references. Papers should be double-spaced and use 12 point font. Longer papers will not be considered.

Please follow the online directions for registering and uploading your paper. If you have difficulties uploading the papers, please e-mail Glenda Balas of the University of New Mexico at gbalas@UNM.EDU.

Specify Student Papers: Yes, but please make this designation for those works authored only by students. No faculty member should be a co-author on a paper designated as a student paper. Also, you will check a box to indicate whether your submission is a student paper, but you need to indicate in the "special instructions" box whether the submitter of the paper is a graduate or undergraduate student. We are going to try to have at least one panel devoted to undergraduate submissions.

When you log onto the system, you need to have your paper completed and ready to upload onto the system. You need to remember the following:

1. You should have no identifying information on your paper; this means you should not have a title page. However, please include the title of the work on the first page of text. You will provide the title of your paper and name/affiliation during the registration process.

2. The abstract (75 words) will be entered separately from the paper. You should not include an abstract in the paper file.

3. The electronic version of the paper should be either a Word, Word Perfect, RTF or ADOBE document. DO NOT COMPRESS YOUR PAPER FILE.

4. A/V requests must be made at the time of submission; we regret that late requests cannot be accommodated. Please try to keep A/V requests to a minimum because the NCA must rent this equipment from the hotel and it is expensive.

Questions regarding competitive paper submissions (not thematic panel submissions) should be directed to Professor Glenda Balas, University of New Mexico, Communication & Journalism, C & J Bldg Room 228, Albuquerque, NM 87131, gbalas@UNM.EDU, (505) 277-4422.

II. THEMATIC PANEL PROPOSALS
Please follow the online directions for submitting your thematic panel. Panel submitters will be expected to submit a general abstract (75 word limit) and extended rationale (400 word limit). Individual panelist abstracts also need to be included with the submission (75 word limit for each individual abstract).

Questions regarding a thematic panel submission (not a competitive paper submission) should be directed to J. Emmett Winn, Dept. of Communication & Journalism, 217 Tichenor Hall, Auburn University, Alabama 36849-5211, winnjoh@auburn.edu, (334) 844-2761.

Thanks to Paper Reviewers

Professors Kristen Harrison and Lance Holbert wish to offer a special thanks to all Division members who served as competitive paper and/or panel reviewers. The Division increased its number of reviewers to almost 100 in order to keep up with the steady increase in submissions over the past few years. All reviewers attended to their tasks with the greatest of professionalism, allowing the Division to submit 45 conceptually sound and academically rigorous sessions for the Boston conference.

MCD Teaching and Service Awards

This year the MCD had several very competitive nominations for the MCD Teaching Award. The officers of the Mass Communication Division are very pleased to announce two awards. This year's recipients are Dr. Mary Beth Oliver of Pennsylvania State University and Dr. Joshua Meyrowitz of the University of New Hampshire. The teaching awards recognize a career of exemplary teaching in the field. Congratulations Mary Beth and Josh!

The officers decided not to present a MCD Service Award this year. If you know an outstanding member of the Mass Communication Division who deserves recognition, please plan to submit a nomination for next year's awards. Calls for nominations will be circulated early in 2006.

Media Effects Faculty Position
Penn State
College of Communications


The Film/Video & Media Studies Department in the College of Communications at Penn State invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in Media Effects beginning August 2006. Candidates should have teaching and research expertise in media effects and social scientific approaches to media theory. A Ph.D. is preferred. Scholars from all relevant disciplinary perspectives are encouraged to apply. Their research agenda may focus on any area of media effects, be it effects of particular message genres (political communication, health communication, etc.) or those of formal features or media technologies.

The College of Communications is the largest ACEJMC-accredited undergraduate program in the country and one of seven accredited communications programs in the Northeast. The College is home to four departments: Advertising/Public Relations; Film/Video and Media Studies; Journalism; and Telecommunications. In addition, the College offers five undergraduate majors (advertising/public relations, film/video, journalism, media studies, and telecommunications), master’s degree programs in media studies and telecommunications studies, and a Ph.D. program in mass communications with four distinct and flexible tracks—media effects, political/cultural communication studies, communications law and policy, and international communication.

The College of Communications provides excellent resources for the study of media effects, including the Media Effects Research Laboratory. This lab consists of two research wings that allow for studies pertaining to responses to traditional media, computer technologies, and videogames, among others. The lab provides facilities for measuring a variety of responses, including physiological reactions, response time, and computer-aided questionnaires and surveys. For more information, visit the website for the Media Effects Research Laboratory at http://www.psu.edu/dept/medialab/.

The University Park Campus is set in State College, a university town located in the heart of central Pennsylvania. State College offers a vibrant community with outstanding recreational and cultural activities, a low crime rate, and excellent public schools. The campus is within a half-day drive to Washington, DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City and Pittsburgh. For more information, please visit http://www.psu.edu/dept/comm/ and www.cbicc.org/.
