I am sorry. Due to a technical (and human fault), my mail messages were removed from the server.

Becky: Good idea; I second your proposal. There is a much more modest initiative in the same direction. The journal Javnost/The Public publishes extended abstracts (ca. 1000 words) of recent PhD dissertations related to communication and culture. Both David Silver's and Keith Hampton's dissertations appeared in previous issues. Persons who have recently completed dissertations are encouraged to contact me regarding possible inclusion in this series.
