[ecrea] Baker Award call for nominations

C. Edwin Baker Award for the Advancement of Scholarship on Media, 
Markets and Democracy

.
The Philosophy of Communication and Communication Law and Policy 
Divisions of the International Communications Association seek nominees 
for the annual C. Edwin Baker Award for the Advancement of Scholarship 
on Media, Markets and Democracy. We encourage self-nominations, as well 
as the nomination of others. 

The Baker Award recognizes work that has 
made significant contributions to the development, reach and influence 
of such scholarship. While the awards committee favors research that 
consists of multiple projects and publications that have made a clear, 
coherent and sustained contribution to the advancement of such 
scholarship over time, single works and/or activities that have been 
highly influential in the field may also qualify someone for nomination. 
More specifically, nominees for this award will have accomplished one or 
more of the following: 
(1) opened up new theoretical and/or 
methodological territory in research on any aspect of the interrelations 
between media, markets and democracy; 
(2) made other important 
contributions to the advancement of scholarship on these 
inter-relations; (3) engaged in activism that advanced scholarship on 
these inter-relations. 

The award is open to ICA members and to anyone 
else whose research can be shown to have a connection with the work of 
the ICA and its various divisions. Members of the Awards Committee may 
nominate, but no ICA member who makes a nomination or who is nominated 
for an award can serve on the committee judging the nomination.


All nominators must: 
(1) Submit letter(s) of nomination, not to exceed 
two pages each. These letter must: (a) specify the relevant body of work 
and/or other contributions made; (b) address the work’s and/or 
activity’s contributions to scholarship of media, markets and democracy 
(in the case of research, this will involve theoretical and 
methodological assessments of that work); and (c) make a case for its 
influence and impact on the advancement of such scholarship. 
(2) Submit 
representative examples of the work cited, along with a CV, to the chair 
of the awards committee (as noted on the ICA website).
 (3) Have all 
materials electronically submitted by 11:00 pm EST, July 31.

The Baker 
Award was established in 2010 through an endowed fund created from the 
estate of Professor C Edwin Baker (1947-2009), who was the Nicholas F. 
Gallichio Professor of Law and Communication at the University of 
Pennsylvania Law School, and is intended to honor the enormous 
contribution made by Professor Baker to communications scholarship. The 
Divisions gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Professor Baker’s 
sister Dr Nancy Baker.

Nominations should be sent to Amit Pinchevski, PTC Chair at
