INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR MEDIA AND COMMUNICATION RESEARCH (IAMCR)
50th Anniversary Conference, Paris, July 23-25, 2007

Abstracts of no more than 500 words, bearing on the Conference Theme and addressing one or more of the above topics should be submitted to Andrei Richter and to Wolfgang Kleinwachter before January 15, 2007. Abstracts should explicitly state the prospective nature of the paper, explain the methodology or approaches used and present the empirical material on which the paper is based.

Each abstract may be presented in only one Section of the IAMCR Conference. Offering duplicates of the same paper to different Sections of the Association is likely to result in elimination of the duplicate abstract.
Each abstract must include title, name(s), institutional address and email address of author(s). Applicants will be advised by 1st March 2007 of the outcome of their submissions. The full text of accepted papers will be required no later than 15th June 2007.
