CALL FOR PAPER PROPOSALS
Media Ethics 2000 Colloquium
Who Can and Should Watch the Watchdog in the Twitter Age?
Media Ethics 2000 Colloquium, founded by Brigham Young University,
is preparing for its 10thcolloquium, which will take place in April,
2010, in St. Louis. The 2010 colloquium, Who Can and Should Watch
the Watchdog in the Twitter Age?, provides a venue for mass media
scholarship examining a variety of accountability issues and tools
ranging from journalism reviews to news councils to ombudsmen to
public/civic journalism to media critics to ethics codes, etc.
Colloquium submissions should be normative, focusing on ethics and
theory as opposed to media criticism or individual case studies.
Potential colloquium fellows are invited to submit proposals of no
more than 1,000 words. As many as nine team proposals will be
selected by the Colloquium Steering Committee. Proposals can be
submitted either by an individual scholar or by a pair of
scholars. Should a proposal submitted by an individual be accepted,
the colloquium steering committee will help determine another
appropriate scholar to work with the person submitting the
proposal. In past colloquia, fellows pairings have embraced
diversity, including, for instance, having one scholar in a team
being more "seasoned" and the other scholar being new to media
ethics, or having one scholar being an academician with the other
contributor being from the media or another profession (law, for
example), having team members from two different disciplines, or
having a pair of individuals from different nations or cultures.
The proposal deadline is Nov. 1, 2009. Proposals should be
submitted electronically to William A. Babcock at
<(wbabcock49 /at/ gmail.htm)>(wbabcock49 /at/ gmail.com). Acceptance notices will
be sent out in November.
Final papers of no more than 8,000 words (including references and
footnotes) are due no later than March, 2010. The colloquium will
pay travel, room and board expenses for all fellows. The Journal of
Mass Media Ethics will have the right of first refusal for all
presented colloquium papers, and upon publication each author will
receive a $500 honorarium.
This year's Colloquium is co-sponsored by Southern Illinois
University Carbondale.
