Hello all, I am trying to find someone going to AEJMC in Kansas City at the end of the month to take my place on a panel on new areas in new media research. Here's the abstract for the panel. If you are interested please email me ASAP at: jlillie@email.unc.edu Thanks, Jonathan PANEL SUMMARY: As new media technologies develop and gain attention as significant impactors upon society, the field is hard pressed to keep up. How do Mass Communication researchers evaluate the importance of developing communication technologies, and how should they approach new entertainment and information media? Panelists will discuss communication technologies that have been explored to a comparatively limited degree, addressing both the importance of these new directions and the approaches that might be taken. ----- Jonathan James McCreadie Lillie ----- jlillie@email.unc.edu http://www.ibiblio.org/jlillie ----- Managing Editor NMEDIAC, The Journal of New Media & Culture http://www.nmediac.net ----- Park Doctoral Fellow The School of Journalism & Mass Communication The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
