[ecrea] ECREA establishes two new thematic sections

Dear all,

ECREA's Executive Board is happy to announce the 
establishment of two new thematic sections: the 
Communication History section and the Television Studies section.

A full overview of the thematic sections can be 
found here: 
http://www.ecrea.eu/divisions/section, and a more 
detailed description of the two new sections can 
be found below (and on their respective webpages).

ECREA members are invited to join these thematic 
sections, as multiple section (and network) 
membership is allowed (and encouraged). The "My 
Information" part of the ECREA website allows 
ECREA members to manage their section and network 
membership. Logging in is required to gain access to "My Information".

Communication History

The ECREA-Section Communication History intends 
to bring together scholars from different 
European countries who approach communication 
with a historical perspective. This includes the 
history of communication in general, the history 
of socially relevant and mass communication, 
memory studies, the history of ideas related to 
the field of communication and the methodology 
and theory of communication history.

Chair: Klaus Arnold (Catholic University Eichstaett-Ingolstadt, Germany)
Vice Chair: Paschal Preston (Dublin City University, Ireland)
Vice Chair: Susanne Kinnebrock (University of Vienna, Austria)

Television Studies

The Television Studies Section aims to organise a 
strong cooperation for European research and 
education in the field of television studies. In 
the face of technological and cultural changes to 
television ?as we know it?, the section will 
bring together TV researchers from a wide range 
of disciplines focussing on all aspects of 
television, both addressing the ?post-broadcast 
era? and television?s history and multiple futures.

Chair: Lothar Mikos (Hochschule für Film und Fernsehen, Potsdam, Germany)
Vice Chair: Elke Weissmann (Edge Hill University, Liverpool, England)
Vice Chair: Manuel José Damásio (Universidade Lusófona, Lisboa, Portugal)
