travisWelcome from the Chair
Travis L. Dixon, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Dear Mass Communication Division members:

I hope this message finds you well and that you are getting back into the swing of things as the fall semester begins.

The Division's Vice-Chair (Andrew Billings) and Research Chair (Rebecca M. Chory) have put together a terrific group of panels and competitive paper sessions. The Division remains vibrant with 164 paper submissions and 25 panel submissions for the 2009 Chicago conference. We were again gratified by the more than 186 scholars (more than 1/3 graduate students) serving as reviewers for the various submissions. Many thanks to everyone who gave their time and energy to this effort! Your service is an invaluable commodity to the division.

I would like to make everyone aware of the Division's annual business meeting that will take place on Saturday, November 14 from 2:00 PM – 3:15 PM at the conference. In addition, the Division's social gathering will begin immediately following the business meeting and will last until 4:45 PM. I hope to see each of you there. In addition, I would like to remind you about the division’s work on using technology to become a more effective organization for you.  For instance, The Gatekeeper’s news section has useful information regarding NCA’s RFP tracker and we are now also on Facebook

If you have any questions concerning pre-registration, do not hesitate to contact me at tldixon@illinois.edu. Until the conference, I hope that the first part of your semester treats you well.

Thank you.

Travis L. Dixon, MCD Chair
Department of Communication

adamEditor's Note:
Run for Publications/Web Editor
Adam Earnheardt, Youngstown State University

I will be stepping down as publications/web editor in November to potentially serve the membership in another capacity. Therefore, I am seeking candidates to run for the editor position. According to the bylaws, the "publications/web editor shall maintain the Division’s website, assemble and distribute the Division’s electronic newsletter (The Gatekeeper) and other communication from the Executive Committee, maintain the Division’s e-mail membership list, and transmit news of the Division’s activities to Spectra." It is actually a very rewarding job - something MCD members have come to reply on to promote their news, jobs, and other information.

If you are interested in running and have questions, please let me know. I can be reached at acearnheardt@ysu.edu. I will assist the next editor with the first few newsletters and web updates.

The Convention Preview edition of The Gatekeeper (newsletter for the NCA Mass Communication Division) will be published again in November 2009. Although I will not be editor, I am still collecting member news. Please send calls, updates, and other information to share with members of the MCD. Readers of The Gatekeeper love to see position announcements, information about new books and supplements, appointments, and other news relevant to the studies and teachings of mass communication. So please, send your news by October 27, 2009 to Adam Earnheardt at acearnheardt@ysu.edu for publication in an upcoming issue of The Gatekeeper.

Fourth Summit on Communication and Sport
Cleveland, OH

March 18-20, 2009

Call for Papers - Deadline: October 1, 2009
www.mediafandom.com

From the birthplace of the NFL and home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame (Canton, OH) to the storied professional sports franchises of the Cleveland Browns, Cavaliers, and Indians, northeast Ohio has a rich tradition in sports. Couple this “professional” sports tradition with historic programs at our local colleges and universities and it is easy to see why Kent State and Youngstown State are excited to co-host the Fourth Summit on Communication & Sport.

If the first three Summits (3rd Summit at Clemson University, 1st and 2nd at Arizona State University) are any indication of the burgeoning interest in sport communication research, then the fourth Summit will certainly have much to offer. Our hope is that the upcoming Summit will serve as a vehicle for cross-pollination of ideas, concepts, and theories for the study of sport and communication. Take this unique opportunity to connect with other sports communication researchers – make connections with others interested in your research agenda – and cultivate relationships with like-minded scholars.

In keeping with the tradition started at the third Summit, some of the best research submitted and presented at the Summit will be published in a special issue of Journal of Communication Studies.  Papers will undergo blind peer review, with approximately 4-5 articles selected for publication. For more information, visit www.mediafandom.com.

All scholars currently exploring communication and sport are encouraged to submit the following:

  1. Abstracts (200-500 words) to be considered for presentation at the Summit.
  2. Full-length manuscripts (7,000-10,000 words, APA style) to be considered for both the Summit and the special issue of Journal of Communication Studies.
  3. Full-length manuscripts (7,000-10,000 words, APA format) to be considered for only Summit presentation.

Up to two submissions from the same author will be considered for review.

Submissions should be emailed in Word format to Amy Crawford at agcrawford@ysu.edu no later than October 1, 2009 (any submission with an email date stamp after October 1 will not be considered).  Please indicate if you would like your piece to be considered for publication in the special issue of Journal of Communication Studies

Presenters will be notified of presentation acceptance via email by December 1, 2009. Space will also be allotted for non-presenting attendees. Any inquiries regarding the event can be directed to Adam Earnheardt (acearnheardt@ysu.edu) or Barbara Hugenberg (bhugenbe@kent.edu). However all inquiries concerning paper submissions should be directed to Amy Crawford at agcrawford@ysu.edu. For more information, visit www.mediafandom.com.
