[ecrea] Deadline for nominations approaching - C. Edwin Baker Award for the Advancement of Scholarship on Media, Markets and Democracy.

Just a gentle reminder that the deadline for nominations for the C. 
Edwin Baker award is fast approaching on /*Sept. 1, 2016*/. I do hope 
you will consider nominating one of our excellent colleagues for this 
prestigious award. Please see call below:

*The Philosophy, Theory and Critique and Communication Law and Policy 
Divisions of the International Communication Association seek nominees 
for the annual C. Edwin Baker Award for the Advancement of Scholarship 
on Media, Markets and Democracy. *

The Baker Award recognizes work that has made significant contributions 
to the development, reach and influence of such scholarship. While the 
award 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 Award 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.

We encourage self-nominations, as well as the nomination of others.

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.

(3) Have all materials electronically submitted by */11:00 pm EST, 
September 1, 2016/*.


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:
