IAMCR - International Association for Media and Communication Research

IAMCR has the following governing bodies: a General Assembly, an International Council , an Executive Board and a President .

The General Assembly takes place during the biennial IAMCR conferences and it is the main decision making body.

Statutes and Standing Orders governing IAMCR’s work are at the website. The informal organisation of IAMCR relies enormously on the good will and energy of all its members.

All the office holders seek to encourage open debate and increasingly active participation in discussions both online and offline.  There are elected officers who see themselves as facilitators of the intellectual engagement and policy related activities that are at the heart of IAMCR.

IAMCR activities are organised into Sections and Working Groups.

Research conducted by IAMCR members is strongly interdisciplinary, theoretically informed, and generally employs ‘multi-method’ research strategies.
