IAMCR - International Association for Media and Communication Research

The organisers of IAMCR's 2009 conference in Mexico City took thousands of photos of the ceremonies, sessions and receptions. We have posted a selection of almost 200 of them here.

Some of the papers presented at IAMCR's 2009 conference held in Mexico City (Mexico) July 21-24 2009 are now available for download only to current members of IAMCR.

Papers are currently available from the following sections and working groups: Community Communication, Emerging Scholars Network, Gender and Communication, History, International Communication, Participatory Communication Research, Political Economy, Mediated Communication, Public Opinion and Society, Media and Sport, and Popular Culture. Papers from other sections and working groups will be added.

Some people will be blogging, twittering or posting photos or video from the IAMCR Conference in Mexico.

To help the IAMCR community know what is happening in Mexico we are putting together a list of the online reports we have found. See the list below.

A PDF file of the final programme for IAMCR's conference in Mexico (21-25 July) is now available for download from the conference website.

IAMCR president, Annabelle Sreberny, and Aimée Vega Montiel, Chair of the Local Organising Committee of IAMCR's 2009 conference in Mexico have confirmed that the conference will proceed as planned from 21-24 July 2009. They also announced that in recognition of the difficulties encountered by some conference participants, the deadline for registering at reduced early registration fees will be extended to 15 July.

The bags that will be provided to the 2009 IAMCR Conference attendees are made of tenangos, a type of embroidery produced by Otomí craftswomen in the municipality of Tenango de Doria in the state of Hidalgo in Mexico.
