[ecrea] Journalism Studies Dissertation Award (ICA)

Fri Nov 12 07:38:35 GMT 2010



The Journalism Studies Division of ICA is seeking nominations for our annual dissertation award, the Gene Burd Urban Journalism Research Prize. We are able to do this because of a generous gift from Gene Burd, Professor of Journalism at the University of Texas and administrative support from the Urban Communication Foundation.

The Gene Burd Urban Journalism Research Prize

This annual prize recognizes and rewards doctoral dissertation research in urban Journalism. Please check with the website www.urbancomm.org for the specifics about the award.

Amount of Prize: $1,000

Application Procedure:

Each nomination should include a copy of the doctoral dissertation and two supporting letters from faculty mentors. One of these letters must be a nomination from the graduate studentâ??s degree advisor that includes a statement articulating the relevancy and impact of the nominated work. The nominated work must have been completed and defended within the two years prior to the award year (e.g., 2009/2010 for the prize in 2011). The winner will be announced at the annual business meeting of the Journalism Studies Division of the International Communication Association. Nominees must therefore have firm plans to attend the Boston conference in 2011 (May 26-30). The nomination period opens on November 15, 2010 and closes on February 15, 2011. The Prizeâ??s review committee will consist of representatives from the Journalism Studies Division and the Urban Communication Foundation.

Please send nomination materials (the 2 supporting letters and the dissertation) via email (PDF format) to the chair of the Journalism Studies Division of ICA, Frank Esser ((f.esser /at/ ipmz.uzh.ch)), by February 15, 2011.
