Statement
Propelled by an accelerating climate crisis, the prospect of new pandemics, widening income and wealth disparities, and economic and political instabilities we have arrived at a hinge moment in human history. How we respond depends more than ever on how we organise communication systems. IAMCR has a crucial role to play in providing authoritative research and argument that addresses central questions and choices . Its global reach and expanding membership ensures diversity and vitality based on multiple perspectives and experiences.
Organising and deploying these resources to maximum effect requires us to consider new ways of working while retaining existing strengths. The on-line and hybrid meetings, on-line paper submissions, and expansion of the Ambassador network are successes that can be built on .We need to look again at IAMCR’s public profile through branded scholarly publications and statements for a general audience. And in everything we do we need to consider environmental and climate impacts.
In evaluating options I can draw on wide experience of working across IAMCR : as a former Vice President responsible for publications and the ambassador network; as past chair of the Political Economy Section; and founder member of the Clearing House.
Nominated by:
Nico Carpentier, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic

Endorsement for Graham Murdock
One of the multi-talented rocks of IAMCR. As a former vice-president, he was very active within the IAMCR leadership, and I believe we need to ensure that Graham continue to play that role, not only guaranteeing continuity but bringing a sharp mind and wisdom into the IC.
Endorsement for Professor Graham Murdock
I feel honoured to cast my support for Professor Graham Murdoch for the International Council of the IAMCR. His academic experiences and contributions in media and communication studies are the best examples of a dedicated media scholar. IAMCR will be benefitted with his attachment in International Council to support diverse communities.
Professor Graham Murdoch, a great expert in communication systems would be a great addition to IAMCR family of academic experts. His addition will ensure diversity based on his wide knowledge and experiences of the media issues and systems and his attention to several accelerating issues of economic and political instabilities and human interests.
