[ecrea] ICA Communication Law & Policy international networks and resources for scholars, policy practitioners, and public interest advocates

Sun May 31 15:27:12 GMT 2009



Dear Colleagues,

The Communication Law and Policy Division of the International Communication Association has created a new Group in LinkedIn as a way to connect scholars working in this global and interdisciplinary field. Please consider joining as way to continue to connect and extend our conversations before/after, and outside of annual conferences, symposia, and events.


Another network of interest is the Social Science Research Council?s (SSRC) Necessary Knowledge for a Democratic Public Sphere program ? a resource for researchers, advocates, and practitioners working for a more democratic and participatory public sphere. See links below.

Best,
Becky Lentz
ICA Communication Law & Policy Division Secretary



The Communication Law and Policy Division (<http://www.icahdq.org/sections/secdetinfo.asp?SecCode=DIV14>http://www.icahdq.org/sections/secdetinfo.asp?SecCode=DIV14) of the International Communication Association (<http://www.icahdq.org/>http://www.icahdq.org/) is interested in research and analysis of law, regulation, and policy that deals with information, communication, and culture. Please consider joining our LinkedIn global network: <http://www.linkedin.com/groups?homeNewMember=&gid=1973098&trk=eml-grp-sub>http://www.linkedin.com/groups?homeNewMember=&gid=1973098&trk=eml-grp-sub




The Necessary Knowledge for a Democratic Public Sphere program (<http://programs.ssrc.org/media/>http://programs.ssrc.org/media/) works to build a culture of collaboration between researchers, advocates, and activists that can strengthen that knowledge infrastructure. Its primary activities have included 'collaborative grants' for research/advocacy partnerships, a Data Consortium for improving access to media and communications datasets, and a range of other facilitation services. The program is built around an online 'Media Research Hub' that brokers connections between researchers and other constituencies. On the Hub you can seek research funding, search for resources, get access to data, and read about recent news, events and opportunities: <http://mediaresearchhub.ssrc.org/>http://mediaresearchhub.ssrc.org/. It also has a listserve connecting scholars and advocates in this field: <http://programs.ssrc.org/media/emaillist>http://programs.ssrc.org/media/emaillist and a forum called Making Communication Research Matter: <http://www.ssrc.org/essays/mcrm/>http://www.ssrc.org/essays/mcrm/. "Making Communications Research Matter" is an SSRC essay forum intended to advance dialogue about the relationship between research and policymaking in media and communications.
