[Commlist] Call for nominations: Outstanding dissertation in journalism studies ICA award

Outstanding dissertation in journalism studies ICA award

Deadline for nominations: March 1, 2020

The Journalism Studies Division of ICA recognizes every year a doctoral 
dissertation research that explains, enlightens, inspires, and improves 
the practice and study of journalism and communication. The winning 
dissertation should seek and reveal new insights, and reinforce the 
Journalism Studies Division’s stated aims for “scholarly effort that 
advances our understanding of how journalism works; and helps clarify, 
define and question core ideas in our field, such as news, media and 
journalism.” The award is open to a diversity of methods and topics 
within journalism studies.

The nominated work must have been completed and defended within the two 
years prior to the award year (e.g., 2018/2019 for the award in 2020). 
All application materials must be in English. Each nomination should 
include: 1) an 8-10 page summary of the dissertation with no 
author-identifying information, addressing a) the problem addressed by 
the work; (b) its theoretical framework; (c) the method used; (d) key 
findings; (e) and a statement explaining its contribution to journalism 
studies; 2) a copy of the full doctoral dissertation (author-identifying 
information should be included); and 3) two supporting letters from 
faculty mentors. One of these letters must be a nomination from the 
graduate student’s degree advisor that includes a statement articulating 
the impact of the nominated dissertation and its contribution to the 
field of journalism studies. All materials must be submitted as PDF files.

The nomination period closes March 1, 2020. Please send PDF nomination 
materials via email to the chair of the selection committee, David 
Domingo ((David.Domingo /at/ ulb.ac.be) <mailto:(David.Domingo /at/ ulb.ac.be)>).
