media deliver not only images of 'the world' but epistemological and ontological notions of world construction in new
fragmented highly individualized spaces of mediation, it is timely to debate and critically assess not only 'cultures of

Leading international scholars from various disciplines will gather in Montreal, Canada, to discuss and debate central
issues of contemporary organization theory. Obviously, the concept of an organization as primarily a social and
economic reality has been challenged from many sides in the past 20 years. Critics coming from various fields of the
social sciences (sociology of science, anthropology, discourse analysis, and semiotics, among others) have offered
new metaphors and constructs to recast the reality of contemporary organizations in very different realms: culture and
meaning, interaction and discourse, and materiality and artifacts, among others. The work of James R. Taylor is an
outstanding example of an attempt at synthesizing these various trends in a conception of organization that gives new
meaning to basic concepts of organizational studies such as agency, conversation, text, and materiality. With a view
to advance the discussion on the fundamental issues of the nature of organizing, agency, and text, this conference
brings together the contributions of leaders in the fields of communication and organization studies in a debate
convened around Taylor's work and extends it in several new directions.

The Global and Globalizing Dimensions of Mobile Communication: Developing or Developed?
Sponsored Sessions
This preconference has the intention of examining the global dimensions of mobile communication. Mobile
communication (both via traditional mobile telephony and via other wireless systems) is being felt on a global basis.
There are, for example, currently more mobile telephones in the developing world than in the traditional industrialized
countries. Thus while mobile communication has become a relatively normal part of daily life in industrialized
countries, it is also becoming increasingly common in the developing world. The preconference is a joint effort by the
University of Michigan, Temple University & Telenor.

What makes media public in an open, digital environment? How can scholars and audiences recognize public media
that is generated neither by legacy outlets nor traditional media producers? What does a new "map" of public media
look like? What new behaviors, phenomena, connections emerge? How can effectiveness be understood, measured,
depicted? What kinds of organizations, policies, and resources are needed to create not only incidents and projects but
habits and archives in emerging public media? What kinds of research are needed to analyze and imagine emerging
public media? Over the past decade, public service broadcasting, public access cable, and newspapers of record are
seeing business models shaken, traditional funder bases decaying, and policies changing. New distribution
possibilities (broadband, peer-to-peer media sharing, satellite networks, digital cable, handheld devices and more) are
decoupling content from its original context and creators. So-called Web 2.0 tools emphasize user participation above
all other features, and the explosion of blogs, user-driven digital video sites, social networking sites and
collaboratively authored texts like Wikipedia testify to the power of these new models. What can public media—
public media in the Deweyan sense of media for public knowledge and action, in the sense that Yochai Benkler
imagines it in Wealth of Networks--mean given these new possibilities and challenges? This pre-conference will build
upon the Center for Social Media's Mapping Public Media project (centerforsocialmedia.org/mpm), and forms part of
the Future of Public Media project, funded by the Ford Foundation.

Organised by the Popular Communication and Feminist Scholarship Divisions, this preconference brings together
established and up and coming scholars who are examining the fundamental question of how popular communication
artefacts come to take the form they do. This question involves re-examining questions of cultural production, the
status of cultural industries, and their organization in light of new approaches drawn from cultural studies, feminist
and critical race studies, and global studies. This is a vibrant and interdisciplinary area, drawing on sociology, cultural
studies, organisational and management studies, political economy, economics, social history, cultural geography and
social theory, to name just a few. Which theories and methods are most likely to consolidate the recent success of this
field of analysis? What tensions exist between the various disciplines contributing to the field and how might they
best be addressed? The preconference addresses these questions in four panels, consisting of leading speakers that
represent disciplinary and geographic diversity. Each group of presentations will be followed by open round-table
discussion from all participants. The preconference is meant as an inclusive dialogue, a chance to search for points of
agreement as well as clarify differences. Position papers will be posted to all participants before the conference and
we will establish a blog for participants to post questions and challenges that we may address during the course of the
day. Following the preconference, we expect to look to participants for next steps in considering production or
industrial studies as part of the communication discipline.

Communication and Social Change: Theory, ICTS, Media, and Francophone Spheres
Sponsored Sessions
For several decades, global communication theories and practices have presented various strategies targeted towards
change in various countries Through radio, television, satellite, or other traditional tools, politicians, journalists,
researchers, partners of development, etc. favoured communication as a means to social change. The examples of
Asia (India, Japan, etc) show their achievement in taking advantage of local traditions as an inner force enabling
development. Others (Brazil, Argentina) made emphasis on communication networks whilst the increasing number of
cybercafés and the use of mobile telephony show the inventiveness of Africans in the use of Information and
Communication Technologies (ICTs). However, people tend to forget that global communication also include the role
of media in industrialized countries. Indeed, media concentration as seen in USA, Canada, UK or France for example
has consequences on social level. At the same time, immigration and the diversity of cultures in different countries
has an impact on the way media treats diversity. But media and technologies are not the only means for change.
Social aspects of communication are also used for the sake of change. Hence, participation and empowerment have
been developed as social means for change. Whilst in Latin America the propositions made by Paulo Freire have been
very useful for the liberation theology and for the education of people from Brazil, Chile or Argentina, in Africa, the
Ujamaa project of President of Tanzania (Julius Nyerere) has been very influential as regards to the role of peasants in
the development of their country. Various regions of the world follow different ways to path their road to social
change. This preconference aims at questioning diverse aspects of change through social practices of communication,
theories, ICTs, media and franchophonie. The pre-conference seeks to: i.identify the ways through which
communication theory by itself can have an impact on human action and help change local situation; ii. map out the
diverse aspects of social change through some geographical examples; iii.reflect on the role and the impact of ICTs in
society; iv.question media as regards to globalization and hybridity.

This ICA preconference explores the historical dimension of new media with regard to theoretical foundations,
methodological approaches, and contemporary developments. The historical dimension of these facets of new media
scholarship is all too often inadequately addressed. The purpose of this preconference, then, is to bring together
scholars with a common interest in exploring the historical contextualization of new media. This purpose is situated
within a wider celebration of the 10th anniversary of New Media & Society as a leading journal for scholarly
exploration of new forms of mediated communication. This anniversary will culminate in a special issue of the
journal drawing from papers submitted to this preconference. The preconference is a joint initiative by the
Communication History Interest Group of the ICA and New Media & Society.

Joe Karaganis, Social Science Research Council, USA
"Communicating social impacts" requires deliberate attention to the role that scholarship plays in affecting social
change. This pre-conference addresses divides between research and advocacy in the field of communications in issue
areas such as public health, media diversity, communications policy, global communications and Internet governance,
journalism, technology usage and diffusion, and political communication. The tentative plan is for this pre-conference
to be organized along three tracks: Track 1: Bridging Organizational Cultures Track 2: Mapping Research Needed for
Social Impacts Track 3: Engaging in Public Scholarship: Communicating Social Impacts.

The Filmmaker-in-Residence is an award-winning experimental, immersive, online, interactive documentary and
experimental website that has been described as "engrossing" as well as "refreshing, engaging, and political!" Put
simply, it is an absolutely amazing experience that will pull you into the lives and struggles of ordinary people.
Filmmaker-in-Residence is a compelling,noisy,and visually appealing interactive media with filmmakers' blogs, news
reports, films, photos, and total immersion. More importantly for our conference theme of "Communicating for Social
Impact," this National Film Board initiative provides us with opportunities to see and hear what happens when
governmental initiatives fund creative opportunities for community members to portray their lives via media artistry
and to advocate on their own behalf. I find that the concept and design implementation are inspiring and thoughtprovoking. This session also provides a preview of some miniplenary, theme, and Divisional or Special Interest
Group panels sprinkled throughout our conference program.

Paolo Mancini, U di Perugia, ITALY
Hallin and Mancini's Comparing Media Systems: Three Models of Media and Politics has been an important focus in
a growing field of comparative research on media systems. Hallin and Mancini's book, however, is based on a most
similar systems design, and deals with a narrow range of cases all of which are Western democracies with advanced
capitalist economies. This panel brings together scholars who study a number of cases outside the group of contiries
covered by Hallin and Mancini to explore the question of how the framework of their book does and does not apply to
other kinds of systems, and to consider what other variables and media system models might need to be developed to
extend the kind of comparative analysis proposed in their book beyond Western Europe and North America.

Respondent
It has long been acknowledged in popular culture and academic discourse that women are often charged with
demonstrating emotion as well as with caring for the emotional health of others. This panel revisits gendered
emotional labor and expressivity with a relational approach, exploring sites where emotional performance demands
for both men and women are on display. Exploring mediated and non-mediated ritualized contexts, we analyze and
critique the performativity of affect, including those situations in which the demonstration of affect, even if forced or
contrived, either delivers the social goods of cohesion, community and caring, or fails to because the emotion is
deemed false. By contrasting the cultivation, demonstration and explanation of emotion by culturally distinct actors among reality TV participants, tattoo artists, and cheerleaders - we are able to chart the boundaries of socially
acceptable affect.

As mediated sport permeates most forms of popular communication from print and broadcast media via niche media
such as fanzines, to web based communities and computer gaming, this panel traces and analyzes the interplay
between (professional) spectator sports and popular culture across the spectrum of popular communication. Spectator
sports has both reflected and reinforced fundamental social and cultural change throughout its evolution and continues
to constitute an insightful vehicle in the investigation of contemporary popular communication from its industries via
its performers (athletes) to is fans and audiences. If early modern spectator sport reflected with standardization,
formal rationalization and Taylorization the paramount forces of high modernity, contemporary media sports is
equally shaped by - and a valuable tool in exploring - cultural transformations from globalization and convergence to
liquid or postmodernity. Individual papers thus focus on mediated sport as central to the formation of mediated mega
events (Real), the mediated representation of the financial costs of such mega events (Whannel), the interplay
between globalization and migration of professional athletes reflecting wider global economic inequalities deepened
in a global economy of signs (Mikos), the blurring boundaries between spectatorship and participation in sports
gaming (Crawford and Gosling) and the rise of sports stardom and its impact on changing social, cultural and political
discourses in mediated sport (Sandvoss).

Jesuit educational principles; consequently, panelists from several Jesuit institutions explore how faculty can prepare
themselves and students to communicate for social impact. After introducing faculty preparation mechanisms that
assisted them in educating on communication and social justice, panelists articulate ways curriculum in Jesuit
communication departments are designed toward social impact. Panelists illustrate how to infuse communication for
social impact into entire courses and conclude with concrete assignments.

Lorna Roth, Corcordia U-Loyola Campus, USA
Based on our book "Community Media: International Perspectives" (Palgrave Macmillan, 2007), edited by Linda K.
Fuller, contributors from Spain, Finland, Israel, and Canada present their research on community media for social
change. Drawing on both theoretical and practical case studies—including aboriginal/indigenous experiences, current
case studies, and virtual community visions, we move from developing attempts at local media to case studies and
cyber-examples. Historically, it has been argued that, ever since the Bible was translated into the vernacular, a clamor
began for access to message-making; now, in our current era of revolutionary information changes throughout the
world—when we are dealing with bloggers, map-makers, iPoders, text message senders and receivers, and any
number of cyber-dissidents, it is critical to consider the role of community media toward that process. Following
definitions and a brief literature review, we describe how community communications/media can refer to how
individuals and organizations involve publics in participatory means of airing issues. Owing a debt to the "Our Media,
Not Theirs" group that first met at ICA/Washington in 2001, we continue their tradition. Public service broadcasting,
we contend, should be an institutional guarantor; it is why we fear and fight against the trend toward media ownership
by a handful of moguls who want to mediate our messages. As growing disappointment and disillusionment with
commercial media and its centralization by key multinational corporations combines with increasing concern over
conglomeration and hyper-commercialism, it behooves us to understand, appreciate, delineate, and be involved in our
own local means of communication.

The Broadcast…er, Media… Reform Movement: This is Then and That was Now
Robert W. McChesney, U of Illinois, USA
From the early twentieth century the extension of popular democracy in America has been offset by the development
of monopoly capitalism. The rise of propaganda and public relations closely paralleled the development of citizen
enfranchisement. These communication strategies became essential for beating back public opposition and criticism
to corporate hegemony without engaging in the open violence that traditionally accompanied class conflict. Following
the First World War, the commercial mass media became a central battleground in this conflict. In the 1930s
progressive forces and the labor movement lead the formation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations and a
"laboring" of communication that resumed in the mid 1940s with the great strike wave following the Second World
War. Corporate America responded with the Taft Hartley Act and a broad corporate propaganda campaign that would
retake the initiative and reframe politics in ways suited to its objectives. This panel examines the rise of public
relations and corporate propaganda as ideological tools, exploring its relevance to contemporary social struggles
through four historical cases studies that extend from the consumer and broadcast reform movements of the 1930s,
through the struggle of craft unionism in the postwar 1940s, to the UPS workers' strike of 1997 and the media reform
movement of the twenty-first century. Our purpose is not to mourn the battles lost and opportunities defeated but,
rather, to link past struggles with modern possibilities and to draw out lessons for the present historical moment.

One of the main contingencies in the framing process stems from the interaction with people's personal cognitions.
How well frames link to prior understandings determines people's ability to use, resist or counter-argue offered
interpretations. This panel investigates the nexus between frame and cognitive response. The papers address the main
steps of the underlying process (activation of knowledge, engagement of prior attitudes, and resonance with personal
beliefs) and integrate these into a broad theoretical framework.

Respondent
This panel will present recent research on a number of professional groups in and outside the USA to examine their
abilities to spot deception or hidden emotion, to ask a few more questions of them to determine why they are doing
better or worse. The first presentation will examine why Magistrate Judges outperform Circuit Court judges in
Australia when spotting deception,. The second presentation will examine 4 different groups of British Police officers
to show that the detective groups outperform the patrol group, and that those who were good at detecting micro
expressions of emotion were better at spotting deception. The next presentation showed that one could increase this
micro expression of emotion detection by 50%, for both Caucasian and Asian faces, through training by using a
classic pre-post test design with Japanese, Hong Kong, Australian and US participants The final presentation will look
at lay people and law enforcement officers' abilities to judge intentions for malfeasance based upon body reactions of
individuals who have committed to performing a mock theft, and the factors that influence the accuracy of those
judgments - made all the more pertinent given the recent news stories on Airport Security officers judging travelers on
their hostile intent based solely upon their behavior. The Chair/Discussant will tie the results of the presented work
into his 17 years of experience interacting closely with law enforcement, customs, immigration, intelligence/military,
and judicial communities, and how they can framed best influence real world practitioners.

This panel presents four studies of children's media culture as it unfolds at the intersection of global media stuctures
and local contexts of use. The guiding principle of the studies is this: rather than asking straightforward but often
disconnected questions about the impacts of particular media on particular children, research should instead analyse
the complex and changing cultural environment within which children live, contextualising specific research
questions of media appropriations within a broad account of children and young people's life worlds. The panel will
address the cultural diversities and commonalities characterising children's mediated culture around the world paying
particular attention to the following issues: the interplay between content production and reception, the assumed
vanguardism of children's media uses, enablers and constraints in children's rights of expression.

Christine Quail, SUNY Oneonta, USA
Shirley Steinberg, McGill U, CANADA
Leading scholars in the fields of Medial Literacy and Critical Pedagogy discuss the means and potential of critical
media literacy projects to serve multicultural education. Critical media literacy focuses on ideology critique and the
politics of representation of gender, race, class and sexuality. It incorporates alternative, democratic media production
with critical analysis of mainstream media, in order to foster independent and meaningful media making. As an
academic project, a media literacy of critical multiculturalism specifically interrogates the production, circulation,
regulation, and consumption of media texts (and contexts) made by and/or about race, ethnicity, and "otherness." This
roundtable will function as a conversation between the panelists and audience about the potential of critical
multicultural media literacy. Emphasis will be on sharing strategies and experiences of media literacy pedagogy in the
classroom and the community, in order to facilitate the collaborative efforts of media literacy practitioners. Special
attention will be given to the issues of race/ethnicity with globalization and new technologies. These socio-cultural
and political economic processes present new possibilities for critical multicultural media literacy.

Narrating Our Health: A Discussion With Arthur Frank
Theme Sessions
Chair
Participant
Arthur Frank, U of Calgary, CANADA
The lecture portion of this session focuses on the question of what needs to be said—what is worth saying—about
stories in which people witness experiences of suffering. Why not let these stories speak for themselves; what can
scholars add? This question takes me back to two issues that are fundamental to communications: is there a distinction
between stories and narratives (I argue there is), and how does the phenomenon of entropy resurface in different
guises. Arthur W. Frank is professor of sociology at the University of Calgary. He is the author of At the Will of the
Body: Reflections on Illness (1991, new edition 2002) and The Wounded Storyteller: Body, Illness, and Ethics
(1995), and The Renewal of Generosity: Illness, Medicine, and How to Live (2004). His current book project has the
working title, Stories Make Up People While People Tell Stories: A Storyteller's Book About Narrative (under
contract to University of Chicago Press). Dr. Frank serves on the editorial boards of numerous scholarly journals,
including being a contributing editor of Literature and Medicine and book review editor for health: an
interdisciplinary journal. He is an elected fellow of The Royal Society of Canada and lectures internationally on
narrative, illness experience, healthcare, and ethics.

Image restoration models have dominated most efforts to understand post crisis communication (Benoit, 1997, 1995;
Hearit, 1999; Coombs, 1998; 2007). In general, this body of work has sought to articulate a range of strategic
messages available to organizations as they seek to manage the public impressions that emerge following a crisis.
Efforts have also been made to match specific strategies to specific crisis conditions. In general, the impressions
targeted by image restoration concern culpability and responsibility for the harm created by a crisis. Recently, some
research has sought to expand the scope of analysis regarding post crisis discourse by offering alterative theoretical
frameworks. In general, these approaches examine communication unrelated to accusations of wrongdoing and focus
instead on how organizations learn and recover from crisis. One approach, known as discourse of renewal, is
grounded in the larger organizational discourse paradigm. This framework explores how crisis can create a rhetorical
space for an optimistic discussion of rebuilding, growth and regeneration (Seeger & Ulmer, Seeger, Sellnow &
Ulmer, 2003; Ulmer, Sellnow & Seeger, 2006; Seeger, Ulmer, Sellnow & Novak, 2003). In addition, research has
also employed the organizational learning paradigm to explore the ways in which crisis may precipitate learning
either directly or vicariously (Nathan & Koovoor-Misra, 2002; Stern, 1997). In these cases a crisis may create
important insights into organizational operations, clarify risks, or demonstrate the importance of stakeholder
relationships. This panel explores these emerging post crisis communication perspectives both from the perspective of
learning and renewal.

Don't Derogate this Message! Self-Affirmation Promotes Online Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test Taking
Guido M. van Koningsbruggen, Free U Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS
Perceiving a personal risk is one of the key determinants of health behavior change. However, increasing perceptions
of personal health risk has proven notoriously difficult. Mass-mediated health education efforts often fail because they
ignore (1) socio-cultural factors that drive risk perceptions and health behaviors in specific target audiences, and (2)
individual, defensive responses to health education messages that hinder the acceptance of health messages. This
panel integrates findings from four studies that tested the impact of these two main barriers, and strategies to
overcome them, on effective health education efforts across health risks (Hepatitis B, diabetes, AIDS, and marijuana
use) and cultures (US, Europe, and Asia), using a multi-method, theory-based approach. The findings show how risk
perceptions and health behaviors are shaped by media environment and culture, and how defensive responses to
health risk information can be overcome by using anecdotal rather than statistical evidence, or by providing receivers
with the opportunity to affirm the self.

habits, place, meaning and the relative roles of music producers, listeners fans and third party intermediaries in this
new sonic landscape. How do people make their choices? Who are the tastemakers? How are listening habits
changed? Do music scenes lose their connections to space? These are some of the questions that will be raised in this
panel, which brings together scholars from four countries (Australia, Denmark, Sweden, the United States) to
examine these issues at multiple levels.

Kortney Ryan Ziegler, Northwestern U, USA
This panel examines how queer, feminist videographic practices interrupt traditional practices of looking. Drawing on
feminist, critical race, and queer studies, these short videos attempt to dismantle sexist, racist, and heteronormative
forms of representation and to re/fashion the ways that we image culture. These short videos explore the tensions and
the complexities of representations both of representing others and representing ourselves. In doing so, these videos
aim to bring a renewed critical attention to the material corporeality of bodies. Deliberately paying attention to the
body as marked by intersecting social categories, including race, gender, sexuality, class, age, ethnicity, and
ability/disability, these artists consider how, and under what conditions, stories and images of identity enter into
representation.

In recent years, television has experienced multiple profound developments, as an industry, as an object, and as a
cultural practice. We have seen an expansion of delivery technologies, changing cultures of production, storytelling,
and of reception, a proliferation of fan creativity, and a shifting of some industrial norms just as other aspects of
television remain business as usual. This roundtable's goal is to create a forum for the discussion, brainstorming, and
interrogation of contemporary trends in television, and of the evolution of television studies in light of the increasing
expansion of television. Already online and increasingly connected intimately with other media, technological
platforms, places, spaces, and cultural practices, the object of the field of television studies is morphing. What, then,
we ask, is television today, what is it becoming, and how should television and media studies adapt to keep up with
this evolving entity?

This panel will bring together pioneers in participatory journalism research with different approaches to discuss new
research strategies and evaluate how the heritage of research in areas such as public journalism or community media
can be used to benefit participatory journalism research. The panel will explore which are the most fruitful research
questions, objects, context and methodologies to assess the development of participatory journalism, the strategies
that make it successful and the circumstances that make it a relevant contribution to improve journalism and
democracy. Participatory journalism has been presented by its proponents as a new opportunity to bridge the
historical gap between professional journalists and their audiences. Potentially this may have implications in the
professionals' routines, self-definitions and their role in democracy. However, the (still scarce) empirical evidence
available on this object of study suggests that journalists resist to change their established values and redefine their
role and the one of the audience, and so-called user-generated content only has relevant journalistic quality in very
exceptional moments. The panel will offer practical insights on the research strategies to move beyond this
preliminary evidence.

Comparative research in the field of journalism studies is increasingly proliferating. Many scholars have recently
embarked on multi-national comparative research projects involving a considerably broad range of countries. The
panel therefore presents new approaches and latest evidence from current and ongoing comparative studies. By doing
so, the session endeavors to further "extent the frontier" (Blumler, McLeod, & Rosengren, 1992) of journalism studies
and provide directions for future comparative research in the field. The four studies introduced in this panel cohere in
terms of their interest in the notion of professional and journalistic culture. By using different and multiple methods of
inquiry, from quantitative content analysis to qualitative interviewing, these studies seek to tap into the similarities
and differences in cultural expressions of journalism across the world. The studies' focus is on news content,
organizational structures of newsrooms, systemic determinants, as well as values and attitudes of journalists, while
research designs range between the assessment of most similar systems (e.g. western countries or transitional
democracies) and comparisons of culturally very diverse contexts.

The ethnographers gathered here speak through grounded observation and engagement to scenes, networks,

its historical signifigance beyond particular times and places, (2) upend its ethnocentric rootedness in Euro-American
media theory, (3) re-conceive relations between media insiders and outsiders, and (4) shift from a focus on audience
response to a new substantive and methodological emphasis on mediated practices.

Janet Wasko, U of Oregon, USA
The panel discusses blockbusters from an interdisciplinary point of view. Looking at movie and video game
blockbusters, we want to focus on the role of the text, the audience as well as the role of marketing in a converging
world. Not only marketing efforts of media conglomerates create blockbusters, there has to be a text with a
dramaturgic setting or aesthetic quality, that appeals to many people to go to the cinemas or to buy the games. The
concept of blockbusters has been widely discussed so far, but this panel wants to ad new perspectives: the media
convergence and the importance of the international market for US-films.

Communication and media studies scholars have long since debated the best analytical tools with which to understand
their subject. In particular, theorists keep returning to the relationship between individual autonomy and rational
action on the one hand and the social construction of identity and behaviour on the other. This panel brings together a
group of scholars who are trying to shed light on the 'old' debate of structure versus agency in order to understand and

Marc Leverette, Colorado State U, USA
Since The Simpsons' premiere in 1989, televised animation has continually honed its political voice. While television
entertainment often shies away from being explicitly political, The Simpsons, South Park, The Boondocks, L'il Bush,
and other animated comedies have developed their satiric and parodic voices, showing themselves willing to take on
controversial topics, sometimes in bold and uncompromising fashion, and becoming important sites for the production
and practice of politics and citizenship. This panel examines issues that surround this new class of animated
television. How might they contribute to politics? What possibilities and limitations are imposed by their form and
context? How are audiences invited to use and make sense of their political critique? And what do they tell us about
the prospects for political programming in a post-network era?

The concept of presence, variously defined as a sense of 'being there,' a 'sensation of reality,' and more generally as
'an illusion of nonmediation,' is being examined by a growing international community of scholars in diverse fields
from computer science to philosophy, but the concept has particular relevance to Communication. This panel, cosponsored by the International Society for Presence Research (ISPR), features presentations by and discussions
among scholars at the forefront of work in this area. Each presenter will make a brief presentation (under 10 minutes),
to allow time for questions and discussion. The round table will begin with a brief overview of the concept of
presence. The other presenters will discuss areas of Communication where presence has been investigated. These
areas include research on video games and online communities, interactions with avatars, video conferencing,
future/new media, and impact of Internet on health communication. Each panelist has been directed to discuss how

Rural telecenters, an initial way to harness information and communication technologies (ICTs) for development,
have been marked by high enthusiasm but low (3%) success. More careful and research-based approaches have
recently yielded a 10-fold increase to 30% success. This panel pulls together researchers from China, India, Brazil and
Kenya with the aim of offering insights and theories to improve on that increased success rate and to examine the

second paper proposes that the recent proliferation of bylines in news reports opens the way toward journalistic
stardom and alters power relations within the news industry. The third paper employs datasets compiled by the
Federal Communications Commission on the production of local news broadcasts to test the effects of restrictions on
cross ownership of a newspaper and television station in a single market. The final paper distinguishes between
laissez-faire and interventionist economic models to help understand the implementation of cultural diversity policies

Respondent
In order to understand media effects, we need to comprehend that humans talk about media messages in their social
environment. This phenomenon needs to be regarded as a crucial variable within emotional, cognitive and behavioral
media effects. Thus, the aim of the panel is to explore how interpersonal communication influences and possibly
changes the effects of mass media. Over time, conversations may diffuse, reinforce, change or suppress media effects
under certain conditions. In its examination of the specific influence of interpersonal communication on different
dimensions of media effects, the panel - following the conference theme - furthers knowledge about the social impact
of different communication modes and their interplay. It offers a better insight into how media messages are
processed and ultimately retained and remembered. After a theoretical overview, three empirical studies are presented
which specify the impact of conversations in media effects on (a) emotional, (b) cognitive and (c) behavioral media
effects.

From Flow to Overflow: Texts and Textual Fields in Television and Personal Media Consumption
Media synergy is ever on the increase, providing numerous instances of the text existing across multiple platforms, as
movie, television show, computer game, website, toy, clothing line, CD, food item, and so on: what Robert Allen
(1999) dubs "the movie on the lunchbox." As this happens, though, it becomes important for us to study this network
of textuality, meaning and production. Whereas much work on media texts diligently focuses on their production,
ownership, reception, and/or semiotics, synergy and convergence have caused many texts to "overflow" (Brooker,
2001), and it is therefore imperative that we examine how the expansion and overflow of contemporary media texts
affects the very nature, ontology, and phenomenology of the text, and how it contributes to the production of
meaning. What does the product line do to the text? How does the existence of spinoff movies or computer games
change the audience's understanding of that text? What role does the official website play in constructing meaning?
How are texts being interpreted "outside" of their traditional boundaries, and how are they being engaged with? Or
what reverberations does such a system of expansion and overflow have on the processes of production? This panel
asks these questions, studying the outer limits of the modern media text.

Entering the "Healthy Child Door": Measuring Parents' Knowledge Retention of Information Provided on a Pediatric
Website
Emily M. Meyer, Michigan State U, USA
Low health literacy, or the degree to which individuals obtain, process, and understand basic health information and
services needed to make appropriate health decisions, has numerous consequences for individuals as they navigate
through the health care system. It is estimated that approximately 50% of Americans experience limited literacy,
which impedes their ability to navigate tasks that require problem-solving and higher reading skills; both of which are
necessary in medical encounters. People with low health literacy tend to have limited knowledge of medical
treatments and instructions (i.e. taking correct dosages of medications or appropriately treating a medical condition),
and may be less aware of how to self-manage a disease or seek out treatment when needed. With the introduction of
sophisticated information and communication technologies (ICTs), including online health applications and
interactive computer programs, the potential to access and utilize information increases exponentially, as does the risk
of misunderstanding and improperly executing the material provided. As a result, panelists will discuss four topics
related to facilitating higher "online health literacy": website implementation, knowledge retention, interface usability,
and overall impact (outcome evaluation). Two major health topics will also be highlighted: obesity and pediatric
health. Because the role of health literacy within the context of ICTs is largely unexplored, those who attend this
session will be encouraged to share insights and provide recommendations for future research and health interventions
that observe the potential barrier of low online health literacy.

Communications Scholars as Public Intellectuals: Challenges and Responsibilities

Respondent
Communication scholars have, potentially, a powerful role in making communication research relevant to policy
debates and public discussion of issues in both mainstream media and in the emerging open digital environment. The
public intellectual, an important figure in all academic disciplines, is someone who assumes the responsibility of
interacting with a wider public, not necessarily only to publicize or make popular core research knowledge but also to
negotiate the implementation of such knowledge. Communications is a discipline that has had, historically, many
public intellectuals. But in a heated media environment where strategists treat all interventions as political, what is the
responsible and ethical role they should play in the big issues of the day? Communications scholars need both
resources and access to do their research, and often negotiate with stakeholders to get them. They may also work
closely with stakeholders to define research that has utility in current debates. What is the appropriate relationship of
communications scholars, stakeholders and advocates in policy debates? Communications scholars' work and research
obligations rarely are timed to the needs of a heated public argument or a political or regulatory process. How do
communication scholars balance their multiple obligations and audiences? How do they define, sustain and delimit
their work as public intellectuals? The panelists are all communication scholars who have assumed the role of public

This panel provides a picture of the current state of communication studies in Russia. The papers that are part of this
program reflect multiple perspectives on research and thinking about communication in Russia. The first paper, by
Sinekopova, provides a broad overview of the nature of the communication discipline by comparing its state in the
United States and Russia. Leontovich follows with a paper focusing on the issues facing the study of communication
in Russia with an introduction to various perspectives taken by Russian scholars. The third paper by Privalova
provides a theoretical perspective on the study of communication in Russia by exploring the work of various Russian
and western thinkers concerning the linguistic, cultural and social issues involved in communication studies. The
fourth paper by Kashkin explores the role of authority in Russian communication with a discussion of its various
forms and functions. The fifth and sixth papers focus on specific contextual areas of communication in Russia. Rozina
and Tuzlukova look at internet-based research communities and their relationship to the social and cultural contexts of
technology and its applications. The sixth paper by Parrish Sprowl examines the state and current practices of health
communication in Russia. And the final paper by Makarychev looks at interaction between Russia and the European
Union exploring zones of inter-subjective interaction. The sweep of the papers in this program provide a broad-based
snapshot of the state of communication research in Russia at the disciplinary, theoretical, message variable,
contextual, and international levels.

Due to recent developments in our media cultures it is often alleged that we live in "spatial times" and that our global
media age is one of "time-space compression" or "de-territorialization". In challenging this fundamental myth about
placelessness, this roundtable discussion aims at showing the manifold, material, emplaced, embodied and power-
laden dimensions of how communication and space are co-implicated. Yet, incremental mediatization of everyday
life, society and urban culture does generate altered experiences of space and place dependent upon media. This
results in transformed appropriations and expanded notions of space in social life, including new experiences of
movement and distance. The panel will shed light on the burgeoning discussions on Communication Geography and
MediaSpace and bring out what a spatial turn implies - conceptually, theoretically and empirically - for media and
communication studies. How may a spatial analysis advance our understanding of media and communication and how
may we conceive of its future potential? How can we understand communication in terms of spatial production and
how can space itself be conceived of as communicative, heterogenous and processual? Leading scholars in this field
will address this through a range of astute short talks about how to study media infrastructures, the communicative
fabric of space itself, spatiotemporal perspectives on political communication geographies and local regional
identities in Eastern Europe, media spaces of democracy, feminist intersectional analyses of digital geographies, and
altered senses of community in urban communication cultures.

"The unfamiliar is either pushed to a point beyond strangeness, beyond humanity; or it is drawn so close as to become
indistinguishable from ourselves… Proper distance preserves the other through difference as well as through shared
identity" (Roger Silverstone, Media and Morality, 2007, 172, 47) Silverstone's proper distance highlights the
importance of accounting for the problem of distance and proximity in our mediated interrelationships as moral
beings. How can we use the concept of proper distance to account for the media's role in the complex moral fabric of
the contemporary world? This panel will present four approaches addressing this question.

Online gaming is not only an entertainment option for a growing number of gamers but through the potential different
forms of online gaming offer to connect users on a world wide basis, online gaming has developed into a
communication activity that has a serious impact on social life. This panel addresses different areas where online
gaming may impinge on the way we see the world (economy, value systems, gender roles) Combining different
theoretical and methodological approaches this panel scrutinizes in how far real life is shaped by different forms of
online gaming. Focusing on the question how online gaming is embedded in the user's everyday life, inclusion
patterns are shown and possible, negative outcomes for extreme users are discussed. The relationship between virtual
and real life economies is analysed and motivations for becoming economically active in virtual worlds are deduced.
The influence one's performance in different forms of online games on the perception of gender roles is interrogated
in the light of the perceived 'boyness' of online gaming as a leisure activity. The way social values are reflected in
virtual worlds is analysed on a cross-cultural basis, asking the question in how far online gaming has developed into a
laboratory for identity work. The aim of the panel is to illustrate possible positive and negative outcomes of online
gaming for real life societies.

One of the fastest growing interest areas in the study of organizations is the study of complexity. The relevance of
complexity concepts in organizational communication studies has in recent time taken two main courses, one
exploring the meaning of complexity in terms of complex adaptive systems and one in terms of complex responsive
processes. Both views depart significantly from mainstream ideas of how the evolution of organizations can be
understood, but they also develop different ideas between them concerning how to formulate our understanding of
such evolution. The papers for this session make use of these perspectives and vary from the study of hospital
mergers, oil and gas exploration near the North Pole, leadership education fore executives, and the culture of a Stateowned petroleum company in Norway.

There was a time when much of international public diplomacy took place among diplomats and opinion leaders of
various countries. Today, international public diplomacy entails explicit and implicit messages sent by a government
in one country to members of a general public in another country for the purpose of shaping their attitudes toward
some aspect of the sending country. What are the factors that affect international attitudes and what role, if any, do the
international media networks play in this context? This panel consists of four paper presentation, each of which
explores a different angle and sheds additional light on this same problem.

This panel addresses the ICA 2008 theme of "Communicating for Social Impact" by examining the politics of gender
and technology in contemporary music practices. It assembles scholars working across disciplinary methods and
theoretical approaches, including feminist and queer theory, postcolonial studies, ethnography, popular musicology,
and communication and cultural studies. Several panelists also have experience in music performance and/or audio
technology, and thus bring practical insights to the discussion. Some questions to be explored include the following.
How have music technologies historically been articulated to cultural constructions of masculinity and femininity? In
what ways do musicians challenge traditionally gendered understandings of music technology? And how do gendered
aspects of music technologies intersect with politics of race, nation, class, and sexuality? Dana Baitz begins by
examining the interplay between gender and technology in the songs of pop music artist Prince. Tara Rodgers
continues the thread of gender and technology in her discussion of electronic music by female artists Christina
Kubisch, Annea Lockwood, Chantal Passamonte and Jessica Rylan. Likwise Charity Marsh focuses on the work of
female indigenous Canadian hip-hop artists, Eekwol and Kinnie Star, looking at how both artists position themselves
as racialized and gendered subjects within the hip hop industry and culture. And Jane Park ends with readings of
British Sri Lankan pop star M.I.A's songs and performances, focusing on how they draw on a variety of musical
forms, including hip hop, dancehall, reggae and pop to create a distinctive musical style used to critique racism,
sexism and imperialism.

an international and transcultural approach, the papers explore different local contexts, with the ultimate goal of
achieving a global view that encompasses the use and appropriation of mobile technologies by low-income
communities in distinctive parts of the world. Papers propose a theoretical framework to analyze appropriation and

This roundtable explores opportunities for innovation in communication practice by considering the work
practitioners perform at the nexus of policy, business, and non-governmental action and the meaning of this work for
communication research. These practitioners work in the space where governance happens as they make choices
about how individuals, groups, organizations, and communities will be involved in managing collective risks and in
shaping shared opportunities. What do these practitioners know that is of interest to communication researchers and
what do they want/need to know from communication research?

At a time of scarce resources for education and research, institutions, teams and individuals are ever more subject to a
diversity of evaluation procedures. Be it to publish, present in a conference, obtain a grant or fund a project, be it to
maintain or amend an academic curriculum or harmonise higher education, the processes, criteria and actors
mobilised to evaluate the quality of research and education are feeding fierce debates. Communication research and
education is no exception. This panel will reflect on the very notion of "quality" in the area of communication
research and education. Based on experience and considerations from front line actors in fours key areas where
evaluation is crucial and challenging.

Esther Thorson, U of Missouri, USA
Four studies report on the impact of several news message characteristics on cognition. One paper examines how
evaluations of news stories are affected by evaluations of adjacent messages. Another reports that disruptive
advertisements, while rated as annoying, did not interfere with comprehension of news articles. A third one addresses
the use of numbers and statistics in news. Although research shows they are often misunderstood, poorly
remembered, and do little to influence opinion, this study found that numbers do increase ethos and enhance news
credibility. The final presentation is about the influence of strategic and publicity news exposure on political
cynicism.

In the face of escalating concentration of media ownership and control, cutbacks to public broadcasting, and heavy
corporate influence on the production and dissemination of news, "alternatives" to corporate media such as
independent and not-for-profit publications, community broadcasting, and web-based media increasingly can provide
key venues for political debate, community expression, and development of social identities. This panel explores
some of the dimensions of this poorly understood field in Canada, examining its shifting character, the conditions
under which it operates, and considering the social forces and institutions that animate it.

Increased competition for exclusive images, spurred by alternative news sources and new technologies for making
and distributing pictures are having an impact on the visualization of news events. This panel examines the influence
of these vernacular images on journalism, drawing examples from private and public media in different national
contexts. Together the papers trace a shift in the representation of authenticity that is altering traditional forms and
standards for the visual coverage of news.

Problems of Expertise and Scalability in Self-Made Media: Lessons From Digital Storytelling in Australia
John Hartley, Queensland U of Technology, AUSTRALIA
Respondent
Self-representations in digital storytelling are proliferating. This new media practice emerged in the first half of the
1990s when people made short, personal stories, supported by resource-intensive, usually publicly funded workshops.
Since then, a variety of initiatives world wide sprung up, in all of which 'ordinary people' were encouraged to develop
the necessary competences or literacies to tell their own stories with new digital tools. Today this root form, that
could be termed Digital Storytelling with capital D and capital S, is complemented with 'user-generated' personal
stories and profiles in weblogs and on social networking sites as MySpace, YouTube and Facebook. This panel asks
the 'so what' question - what is the significance of this new social practice? Why should we attend to it? And,
especially important for communication scholars, does it make a difference that it is digital - that digital tools and
literacies increasingly underpin the telling of personal stories? The contributors to this panel consider, through
theoretical, critical and empirical explorations, the possible contribution of digital storytelling to democratic processes
of deliberation and publicity and the potential of digital storytelling to alter or even transform notions of authority and
authorship. They also consider, as communication scholars, the challenge posed by digital storytelling to the longdominant history of mass communication, as these stories, and the digital literacies they engender, appear to lay claim
to a more open, plural and networked sphere for the expression of diverse voices.

Charlotte Lapsansky, U of Southern California, USA
Respondent
This panel presents findings from the Immigration and Integration projects the authors conducted this past year under
the auspices of the Metamorphosis Project at the USC Annenberg School for Communication. These four papers
focus on intergroup relations between new Latino and African American residents in Greater Crenshaw, a community
located in South Los Angeles. For several decades, Crenshaw has been a largely African American neighborhood, but
a recent influx of Latino immigrants from Mexico and Central America is in the process of transforming the
neighborhood. While much of the literature on African American-Latino intergroup relations does take this conflictoriented approach, there is also considerable research to document that close proximity can reduce racial stereotyping.
Employing a communication infrastructure perspective directed us to ask if neighborhood communication practices of
these two populations are bounded by race/ethnicity. Our approach goes beyond identifying group divisions. In the
research presented here, we explore churches, schools, community organizations, and public art as community
contexts that act as potential locations for intergroup communication between Latinos and African Americans that can
build a shared sense of community.

The Relation between Exposure to Video Violence in Childhood and Serious Youth Violence and Delinquency
This symposium investigates the relations between the use of different kinds of violent media (video games, TV
programs, videos and films) and the relation of their use to different levels and types of aggressive, violent, and
delinquent behavior. In the first presentation Rowell Huesmann, using data from a 40-year longitudinal study, shows
that, although childhood exposure to TV violence does not correlate directly with adult aggressive behavior 40 years
later, it does relate to it when other contextual and personal factors are controlled for statistically. In the second
presentation, Grace Yang uses data from the same longitudinal study to show that children who play more violent
video games also watch more violent television. In addition, she shows that violent television viewing by parents in
one generation predicts violent television viewing and video game use by their children in the next generation.
Lucyna Kirwil, in the third paper, examines how differing characteristic emotional reactions to media violence
mediate the type of aggression that is stimulated by exposure to media violence. She demonstrates that those who
consume media violence regularly tend to display diminished anxious arousal and tend to behave "proactively
aggressively," but not "reactively aggressively". In the final paper, Paul Boxer, using data from 400 incarcerated
delinquents, shows that both current use of media violence and prior childhood use of media violence are correlated
with engaging in serious violent and delinquent acts in adolescence and predict these acts independently of a variety
of personality, social-contextual, and demographic factors.

Reflecting on Grounded Practical Theory
In recent years various scholars have called for more theory and research which have practical uses and applications
(Craig, 1999; Flyvbjerg, 2001). This call is heard under different rubrics: theory into practice, scholarship in action,
phronesis, and so on. Given this interest in the practical realm, how successful has language and social interaction
research been in achieving a practical uses and results? Various scholars working from different LSI perspectives
(conversation analysis, discursive analysis, ethnography) and in different practical contexts (medical, therapy, public
hearings) address these issues of revolving around the practical import of scholarship.

Climate change poses an immediate and universal challenge to mankind's fragile relationship to the natural world.
While the ability to detect the problem and recommend steps to mitigate its effects falls primarily within natural
science disciplines, the sense of urgency and responsibility needed to heed their call for action in our societies will
likely be determined through communication within and between various groups. This panel will analyze the extent to
which mediated political and scientific discourse, as well as faith-based and activist organizations feed into 'A Global
Dialogue on Climate Change'. Papers will address a number of key questions: How are issues such as historical
differentiation in greenhouse gas emissions, rights to development, moral obligation and equity being framed? How
are the roles of governments, business and individuals being discursively constructed? What barriers exist to more
concerted action and greater fairness? To what extent are communication practices part of the problem? How can they
be part of the solution?

Plan F, a documentary directed and produced by Casey Hayward and co-produced by Courtney Cole, is the story of
Ed Marko. This narrative of an occupational-therapist turned auto-mechanic would be unremarkable except that, at
the age of 20, Marko lost his eyesight to a degenerative disease. Ed lost sight of "plan A." Documenting Ed navigating
piles of parts, uncooperative employees, and customers' unruly cars, Plan F is a visual demonstration of the power of
reinvention when life changes the plan. Documentaries are often lauded for their ability to bring visibility to pressing
social issues and educate viewers about them. However, many issue-driven films have focused on activism at the
expense of aesthetics. In Plan F, the aesthetic rendering of Ed re-visions the work of a man living without sight. Ed's
story is told with the very sense that the film's subject lacks. The cinematography forces viewers to inhabit a world
where seeing is no longer taken for granted, where the field of vision is dark, cramped, and often unclear. The film
literally re-visions the act of viewing, moving beyond "thinking about" disability to "thinking with" a person living
and working without his sight. Join the director and producers for a viewing of Plan F to be followed by dialogue led
by disability studies scholars.

Innovative Analytic Approaches to Measure the Impact of a Drug Prevention Social Marketing Campaign
Tanya White, Draft FCB, USA
Among the largest social marketing efforts of its kind, the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign (NYADMC)
is conducted by the Office of National Drug Control Policy under congressional mandate. This campaign uses "best
practices" of the advertising industry to reach youth ages nine through 18 with information about drugs of abuse,
specifically marijuana. Since its inception in 1998, the efficacy of the NYADMC has been closely scrutinized.
National surveys such as Monitoring the Future have shown continued declines in youth drug use, and various peerreviewed evaluations have reported evidence of campaign effectiveness. But other reports have suggested that the
NYADMC caused no favorable changes in youth drug use and that there may be a "norming" effect associated with
campaign ads, whereby youth exposed to more advertising show more positive attitudes to drug use overall. Working
from this background, the purpose of this panel is twofold. First, authors will present information on the evolution of
the campaign, with a specific emphasis on the Above the Influence (ATI) brand and its focus on reaching youth
within their developmental context. Second, authors will discuss threats to success of the campaign, which include
norming, within the context of the extensive empirical methods utilized by the campaign to continuously evaluate the
impact of the advertising. Taken as a whole, this symposium will present new information about the NYADMC, with
a particular emphasis on the context in which advertising is delivered and recent evaluation outcomes that
demonstrate campaign effectiveness with the target audience.

Is the heavy use of the internet (and other ICTs) socially isolating? Evidence from Canada, Israel, Japan and the
United States show that this concern is ill-founded. People are intertwining a differentiated battery of ICTs with faceto-face and telephone communication to communicate often, with large networks stretching over long distances and
time zones. The triple revolution of ICTs, always-available mobile access, and social networking is enhancing and

Disaster Reporting in Differing Media Cultures
Lucie Hribal, U of Zurich, SWITZERLAND
Almost every day the media report on disasters somewhere in the world. The media are essential, for example, for
warnings to those who may be affected but also for the images we have about natural disasters. Because the frequency
of reporting on natural disasters has increased in the last years, the public has become more interested in them. At the
same time natural disasters have become global concerns, but little is known about how mass media in different
countries reports on causes, effects or responses to disaster. In the same vein, little is known about the selection
processes which determine which events come to public attention. Making these processes explicit is crucial for a
better understanding of the factors in human perception governing the interpretation of catastrophes. In the following
panel four aspects of construction of reality in the case of catastrophes will be presented: firstly the social construction
of risk which results from media coverage of natural disasters like Hurricanes Katrina and Rita of 2005, focusing on
the US Media. Secondly, research findings from Germany will illustrate how mass media, administration and the
public work with different symbols, terms and definitions. Third, a content analysis of Swiss newspapers reporting on
nine flood disasters (1910 to 2005) identifies how social change and changes in media practices influence what we
call a natural disaster.The influence of the media market appears to be an important and increasing part of the growing
attention to the issue of natural disasters around the world.

Observational Coding of Players' Behavior as a Continuous Measure of Digital Game Experience
In recent years, the game industry has developed a wide array of games and gaming devices, targeted to different age
and gender groups and to gamers with various play styles. As such, playing digital games has become a highly
popular leisure activity. Over recent years, academic research on digital gaming has been growing in interest. Part of
research is focused on how to measure what people feel and experience when they engage in playing digital games.
Being able to validly and reliably measure these experiences is a prerequisite for sound research and theory building
in this domain. In this panel, we focus on the evaluation of game experiences, and in particular on those approaches
that allow for a continuous or time-variant measurement of the digital game experience. Most of the empirical
research on game experience to date has employed retrospective self-report measures, either qualitative (i.e., in-depth
interviews, focus groups) or quantitative (i.e., questionnaires) in character. This panel takes a different perspective by
focusing on measuring game experiences continuously during game play. We present four papers that advance the
state-of-the-art in continuous measurement of digital game experiences, including real-time behavior tracking,
observational coding, and psychophysiological approaches. The papers will address a number of questions regarding
continuous measures, such as: what indicators of players' experience can be recorded during game play; how are they
related to (components of) game experience; what methods can be employed to analyze game experience per se, and
in relation to specific game events or episodes.

educators, and creators whose research, teaching, production, and community activities aim to create necessary
changes based on principles of a common good in democracy. Roundtable participants will draw on their own
perspectives, knowledge, and experience, and invite audience participation as well, to address the following
questions: What concerns are shared across these areas of interest? What insights into creating change for the
democratic common good have participants gained from their particular experiences? What practices in these areas of
interest best contribute to intended changes? How can people in these different areas work together to create positive,
long-lasting, and wide-reaching social impacts in their own communities, as well as the world at-large?
Documentation of the ensuing discussion will be coordinated by the organizer, revised in collaboration retrospectively
with participants for clarity, relevance, and importance, and ultimately, disseminated through online networks and
journals suggested by all in attendance. Thus the outcome of the session's proceedings are intended to further ongoing
discussions, collaborations, reflections, and creations; in other words, to continue "communicating for social impact.

Sponsored Sessions
Chair
Participants
Linje Manyozo, U of Fort Hare, SOUTH AFRICA
Divina Frau-Meigs, U of Paris, FRANCE
In December 2007, IAMCR was invited to develop a prospective research agenda for UNESCO. A research agenda
was developed emphasizing the need to strengthen and re-orient research in ways that might enable a rethinking of
sustainable development in the context of knowledge societies. Focusing on governance, cultural diversity and media
education, strong themes that emerged include human rights; access and literacies; participatory communication;
representation and attention to a repertoire of research methodologies and methods. This panel will examine both the
strengths and the weaknesses of the new agenda from a scholarly point of view as the agenda was developed to
respond to the policy and practice-oriented interests of UNESCO. It will ask, what is the gap between scholarly
interest in these issues and more policy/practice oriented research? Participants on the panel will include those who
participated in a small brainstorming workshop to develop the agenda as well as those who are members of IAMCR
but did not have the change to participate directly.

Connecting Postcolonial Perspectives of Whiteness to Contemporary Culture
This session recognizes the foundational contributions in theorizing whiteness, i.e., the social construction of
whiteness, by the late Ruth Frankenberg, and explores both the problems and possibilities associated with whiteness
research within the field of mass communication. Frankenberg, a British sociologist who died in March 2007 at the
age of 46 from cancer, was among the first in recent times to examine the connections between race and gender with
respect to white identity, and to examine power structures based on that identity. White identity was problematized in
the 1800s by DuBois (1989), and many scholars through the years have focused on white racial identity and its
relationship to white privilege. However, the emergence of a theory of whiteness dates to the 1980s and the work of
sociologists like Frankenberg, and to critical race scholars like Dyer, Delgado, and hooks. Postcolonial scholars, such
as Osuri and Banerjee (2004), have also placed whiteness central to their investigations of racial domination as an
aspect of colonization. Mass communication scholars have been slower to consider the ways that Euro-centric values,
lifestyles, language, racial representations and other aspects of white identity might be located in media industries or
content, or the ways in which these shape race and economic relations in the larger society. This panel of diverse
communication scholars aims to generate an active debate about whiteness in communications research, and to inspire
research along new lines by addressing: 1) The origins, assumptions and critiques of whiteness theory, 2) What can be
learned from existing communications research, and 3) Possible directions for whiteness studies, particularly in the
field of mass communication.

Respondent
This panel explores how women of color audiences, often relegated to the margins by transnational media
corporations and communication scholarship, interpret and use popular media in the United States. Taking seriously
that women of color are what Jacqueline Bobo terms "cultural readers," the panelists argue that women of color are
central to further understanding processes of mediation and reception with Communication Studies. The panelists
consider how the intersection of differences such as race, nation, gender, class, and sexuality might inform these
women's readings of media and (re)produce their subjectivities. From a variety of methodological and theoretical
perspectives, this panel offers a multi-dimensional investigation into how women of color experience both pleasure
and frustration in their usage and interpretations of popular media. It demonstrates how they talk back to, resist, and
sometimes embody mediated representations of women of color. The panelists also discuss how these women's
engagements with media texts have tangible impacts on their everyday life experiences and intervene in public
debates. Focusing on Black and Latina women's interpretations of various media such as television, film, and music,
the panelists offer comparative approaches to understanding difference and identity formation in reception studies.
The panel tracks the trajectory of the sub-field of women of color audience studies, current trends, and offers new
directions for how this work might further develop in future scholarship. Overall, the panelists consider how popular
media shapes women of color audiences in their identity formation and cultivates interpretive, imagined, and real
communities across differences.

In the face of escalating concentration of media ownership and control, cutbacks to public broadcasting, and heavy
corporate influence on the production and dissemination of news, "alternatives" to corporate media such as
independent and not-for-profit publications, community broadcasting, and web-based media increasingly can provide
key venues for political debate, community expression, and development of social identities. This panel explores
some of the dimensions of this poorly understood field in Canada, examining its shifting character, the conditions
under which it operates, and considering the social forces and institutions that animate it.

Problems of Expertise and Scalability in Self-Made Media: Lessons From Digital Storytelling in Australia
Respondent
Self-representations in digital storytelling are proliferating. This new media practice emerged in the first half of the
1990s when people made short, personal stories, supported by resource-intensive, usually publicly funded workshops.
Since then, a variety of initiatives world wide sprung up, in all of which 'ordinary people' were encouraged to develop
the necessary competences or literacies to tell their own stories with new digital tools. Today this root form, that
could be termed Digital Storytelling with capital D and capital S, is complemented with 'user-generated' personal
stories and profiles in weblogs and on social networking sites as MySpace, YouTube and Facebook. This panel asks
the 'so what' question - what is the significance of this new social practice? Why should we attend to it? And,
especially important for communication scholars, does it make a difference that it is digital - that digital tools and
literacies increasingly underpin the telling of personal stories? The contributors to this panel consider, through
theoretical, critical and empirical explorations, the possible contribution of digital storytelling to democratic processes
of deliberation and publicity and the potential of digital storytelling to alter or even transform notions of authority and
authorship. They also consider, as communication scholars, the challenge posed by digital storytelling to the longdominant history of mass communication, as these stories, and the digital literacies they engender, appear to lay claim
to a more open, plural and networked sphere for the expression of diverse voices.

Charlotte Lapsansky, U of Southern California, USA
Respondent
This panel presents findings from the Immigration and Integration projects the authors conducted this past year under
the auspices of the Metamorphosis Project at the USC Annenberg School for Communication. These four papers
focus on intergroup relations between new Latino and African American residents in Greater Crenshaw, a community
located in South Los Angeles. For several decades, Crenshaw has been a largely African American neighborhood, but
a recent influx of Latino immigrants from Mexico and Central America is in the process of transforming the
neighborhood. While much of the literature on African American-Latino intergroup relations does take this conflictoriented approach, there is also considerable research to document that close proximity can reduce racial stereotyping.
Employing a communication infrastructure perspective directed us to ask if neighborhood communication practices of
these two populations are bounded by race/ethnicity. Our approach goes beyond identifying group divisions. In the
research presented here, we explore churches, schools, community organizations, and public art as community
contexts that act as potential locations for intergroup communication between Latinos and African Americans that can
build a shared sense of community.

The Relation between Exposure to Video Violence in Childhood and Serious Youth Violence and Delinquency
This symposium investigates the relations between the use of different kinds of violent media (video games, TV
programs, videos and films) and the relation of their use to different levels and types of aggressive, violent, and
delinquent behavior. In the first presentation Rowell Huesmann, using data from a 40-year longitudinal study, shows
that, although childhood exposure to TV violence does not correlate directly with adult aggressive behavior 40 years
later, it does relate to it when other contextual and personal factors are controlled for statistically. In the second
presentation, Grace Yang uses data from the same longitudinal study to show that children who play more violent
video games also watch more violent television. In addition, she shows that violent television viewing by parents in
one generation predicts violent television viewing and video game use by their children in the next generation.
Lucyna Kirwil, in the third paper, examines how differing characteristic emotional reactions to media violence
mediate the type of aggression that is stimulated by exposure to media violence. She demonstrates that those who
consume media violence regularly tend to display diminished anxious arousal and tend to behave "proactively
aggressively," but not "reactively aggressively". In the final paper, Paul Boxer, using data from 400 incarcerated
delinquents, shows that both current use of media violence and prior childhood use of media violence are correlated
with engaging in serious violent and delinquent acts in adolescence and predict these acts independently of a variety
of personality, social-contextual, and demographic factors.

Reflecting on Grounded Practical Theory
In recent years various scholars have called for more theory and research which have practical uses and applications
(Craig, 1999; Flyvbjerg, 2001). This call is heard under different rubrics: theory into practice, scholarship in action,
phronesis, and so on. Given this interest in the practical realm, how successful has language and social interaction
research been in achieving a practical uses and results? Various scholars working from different LSI perspectives
(conversation analysis, discursive analysis, ethnography) and in different practical contexts (medical, therapy, public
hearings) address these issues of revolving around the practical import of scholarship.

Climate change poses an immediate and universal challenge to mankind's fragile relationship to the natural world.
While the ability to detect the problem and recommend steps to mitigate its effects falls primarily within natural
science disciplines, the sense of urgency and responsibility needed to heed their call for action in our societies will
likely be determined through communication within and between various groups. This panel will analyze the extent to
which mediated political and scientific discourse, as well as faith-based and activist organizations feed into 'A Global
Dialogue on Climate Change'. Papers will address a number of key questions: How are issues such as historical
differentiation in greenhouse gas emissions, rights to development, moral obligation and equity being framed? How
are the roles of governments, business and individuals being discursively constructed? What barriers exist to more
concerted action and greater fairness? To what extent are communication practices part of the problem? How can they
be part of the solution?

Plan F, a documentary directed and produced by Casey Hayward and co-produced by Courtney Cole, is the story of
Ed Marko. This narrative of an occupational-therapist turned auto-mechanic would be unremarkable except that, at
the age of 20, Marko lost his eyesight to a degenerative disease. Ed lost sight of "plan A." Documenting Ed navigating
piles of parts, uncooperative employees, and customers' unruly cars, Plan F is a visual demonstration of the power of
reinvention when life changes the plan. Documentaries are often lauded for their ability to bring visibility to pressing
social issues and educate viewers about them. However, many issue-driven films have focused on activism at the
expense of aesthetics. In Plan F, the aesthetic rendering of Ed re-visions the work of a man living without sight. Ed's
story is told with the very sense that the film's subject lacks. The cinematography forces viewers to inhabit a world
where seeing is no longer taken for granted, where the field of vision is dark, cramped, and often unclear. The film
literally re-visions the act of viewing, moving beyond "thinking about" disability to "thinking with" a person living
and working without his sight. Join the director and producers for a viewing of Plan F to be followed by dialogue led
by disability studies scholars.

Tanya White, Draft FCB, USA
Among the largest social marketing efforts of its kind, the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign (NYADMC)
is conducted by the Office of National Drug Control Policy under congressional mandate. This campaign uses "best
practices" of the advertising industry to reach youth ages nine through 18 with information about drugs of abuse,
specifically marijuana. Since its inception in 1998, the efficacy of the NYADMC has been closely scrutinized.
National surveys such as Monitoring the Future have shown continued declines in youth drug use, and various peerreviewed evaluations have reported evidence of campaign effectiveness. But other reports have suggested that the
NYADMC caused no favorable changes in youth drug use and that there may be a "norming" effect associated with
campaign ads, whereby youth exposed to more advertising show more positive attitudes to drug use overall. Working
from this background, the purpose of this panel is twofold. First, authors will present information on the evolution of
the campaign, with a specific emphasis on the Above the Influence (ATI) brand and its focus on reaching youth
within their developmental context. Second, authors will discuss threats to success of the campaign, which include
norming, within the context of the extensive empirical methods utilized by the campaign to continuously evaluate the
impact of the advertising. Taken as a whole, this symposium will present new information about the NYADMC, with
a particular emphasis on the context in which advertising is delivered and recent evaluation outcomes that
demonstrate campaign effectiveness with the target audience.

Issues of media trust and media credibility have been a major part of mass communication scholarship since the field's
earliest days. Despite this long tradition, trust and credibility research is characterized by a proliferation of empirical
findings and a heterogeneity of conceptual ideas. This panel demonstrates recent developments in theory and research
from an international perspective. By approaching trust and credibility from different angles, the panel aims at
advancing a common understanding of these key concepts.

Disaster Reporting in Differing Media Cultures
Lucie Hribal, U of Zurich, SWITZERLAND
Almost every day the media report on disasters somewhere in the world. The media are essential, for example, for
warnings to those who may be affected but also for the images we have about natural disasters. Because the frequency
of reporting on natural disasters has increased in the last years, the public has become more interested in them. At the
same time natural disasters have become global concerns, but little is known about how mass media in different
countries reports on causes, effects or responses to disaster. In the same vein, little is known about the selection
processes which determine which events come to public attention. Making these processes explicit is crucial for a
better understanding of the factors in human perception governing the interpretation of catastrophes. In the following
panel four aspects of construction of reality in the case of catastrophes will be presented: firstly the social construction
of risk which results from media coverage of natural disasters like Hurricanes Katrina and Rita of 2005, focusing on
the US Media. Secondly, research findings from Germany will illustrate how mass media, administration and the
public work with different symbols, terms and definitions. Third, a content analysis of Swiss newspapers reporting on
nine flood disasters (1910 to 2005) identifies how social change and changes in media practices influence what we
call a natural disaster.The influence of the media market appears to be an important and increasing part of the growing
attention to the issue of natural disasters around the world.

The panel contrasts already established paradigms like "visual culture", "visual studies", "visual expertise", "visual
literacy and media literacy" with the relatively new concept of "visual competence" in the light of sociological,
psychological and communication approaches. The following key question to be discussed is, whether the concept
"Visual Competence" is useful/necessary by comparison to the already established concept of "Visual Literacy/Media
Literacy", and how the concept of Visual Competence can be implemented.

Observational Coding of Players' Behavior as a Continuous Measure of Digital Game Experience
In recent years, the game industry has developed a wide array of games and gaming devices, targeted to different age
and gender groups and to gamers with various play styles. As such, playing digital games has become a highly
popular leisure activity. Over recent years, academic research on digital gaming has been growing in interest. Part of
research is focused on how to measure what people feel and experience when they engage in playing digital games.
Being able to validly and reliably measure these experiences is a prerequisite for sound research and theory building
in this domain. In this panel, we focus on the evaluation of game experiences, and in particular on those approaches
that allow for a continuous or time-variant measurement of the digital game experience. Most of the empirical
research on game experience to date has employed retrospective self-report measures, either qualitative (i.e., in-depth
interviews, focus groups) or quantitative (i.e., questionnaires) in character. This panel takes a different perspective by
focusing on measuring game experiences continuously during game play. We present four papers that advance the
state-of-the-art in continuous measurement of digital game experiences, including real-time behavior tracking,
observational coding, and psychophysiological approaches. The papers will address a number of questions regarding
continuous measures, such as: what indicators of players' experience can be recorded during game play; how are they
related to (components of) game experience; what methods can be employed to analyze game experience per se, and
in relation to specific game events or episodes.

This interactive, inter-disciplinary roundtable discussion will bring together media and communication scholars,
educators, and creators whose research, teaching, production, and community activities aim to create necessary
changes based on principles of a common good in democracy. Roundtable participants will draw on their own
perspectives, knowledge, and experience, and invite audience participation as well, to address the following
questions: What concerns are shared across these areas of interest? What insights into creating change for the
democratic common good have participants gained from their particular experiences? What practices in these areas of
interest best contribute to intended changes? How can people in these different areas work together to create positive,
long-lasting, and wide-reaching social impacts in their own communities, as well as the world at-large?
Documentation of the ensuing discussion will be coordinated by the organizer, revised in collaboration retrospectively
with participants for clarity, relevance, and importance, and ultimately, disseminated through online networks and
journals suggested by all in attendance. Thus the outcome of the session's proceedings are intended to further ongoing
discussions, collaborations, reflections, and creations; in other words, to continue "communicating for social impact.

Communication and Information: Critical Perspectives on IAMCR's Research Agenda for UNESCO
Sponsored Sessions
Chair
Participants
Linje Manyozo, U of Fort Hare, SOUTH AFRICA
Divina Frau-Meigs, U of Paris, FRANCE
In December 2007, IAMCR was invited to develop a prospective research agenda for UNESCO. A research agenda
was developed emphasizing the need to strengthen and re-orient research in ways that might enable a rethinking of
sustainable development in the context of knowledge societies. Focusing on governance, cultural diversity and media
education, strong themes that emerged include human rights; access and literacies; participatory communication;
representation and attention to a repertoire of research methodologies and methods. This panel will examine both the
strengths and the weaknesses of the new agenda from a scholarly point of view as the agenda was developed to
respond to the policy and practice-oriented interests of UNESCO. It will ask, what is the gap between scholarly
interest in these issues and more policy/practice oriented research? Participants on the panel will include those who
participated in a small brainstorming workshop to develop the agenda as well as those who are members of IAMCR
but did not have the change to participate directly.

Connecting Postcolonial Perspectives of Whiteness to Contemporary Culture
This session recognizes the foundational contributions in theorizing whiteness, i.e., the social construction of
whiteness, by the late Ruth Frankenberg, and explores both the problems and possibilities associated with whiteness
research within the field of mass communication. Frankenberg, a British sociologist who died in March 2007 at the
age of 46 from cancer, was among the first in recent times to examine the connections between race and gender with
respect to white identity, and to examine power structures based on that identity. White identity was problematized in
the 1800s by DuBois (1989), and many scholars through the years have focused on white racial identity and its
relationship to white privilege. However, the emergence of a theory of whiteness dates to the 1980s and the work of
sociologists like Frankenberg, and to critical race scholars like Dyer, Delgado, and hooks. Postcolonial scholars, such
as Osuri and Banerjee (2004), have also placed whiteness central to their investigations of racial domination as an
aspect of colonization. Mass communication scholars have been slower to consider the ways that Euro-centric values,
lifestyles, language, racial representations and other aspects of white identity might be located in media industries or
content, or the ways in which these shape race and economic relations in the larger society. This panel of diverse
communication scholars aims to generate an active debate about whiteness in communications research, and to inspire
research along new lines by addressing: 1) The origins, assumptions and critiques of whiteness theory, 2) What can be
learned from existing communications research, and 3) Possible directions for whiteness studies, particularly in the
field of mass communication.

Respondent
This panel explores how women of color audiences, often relegated to the margins by transnational media
corporations and communication scholarship, interpret and use popular media in the United States. Taking seriously
that women of color are what Jacqueline Bobo terms "cultural readers," the panelists argue that women of color are
central to further understanding processes of mediation and reception with Communication Studies. The panelists
consider how the intersection of differences such as race, nation, gender, class, and sexuality might inform these
women's readings of media and (re)produce their subjectivities. From a variety of methodological and theoretical
perspectives, this panel offers a multi-dimensional investigation into how women of color experience both pleasure
and frustration in their usage and interpretations of popular media. It demonstrates how they talk back to, resist, and
sometimes embody mediated representations of women of color. The panelists also discuss how these women's
engagements with media texts have tangible impacts on their everyday life experiences and intervene in public
debates. Focusing on Black and Latina women's interpretations of various media such as television, film, and music,
the panelists offer comparative approaches to understanding difference and identity formation in reception studies.
The panel tracks the trajectory of the sub-field of women of color audience studies, current trends, and offers new
directions for how this work might further develop in future scholarship. Overall, the panelists consider how popular
media shapes women of color audiences in their identity formation and cultivates interpretive, imagined, and real
communities across differences.

Panellists have been challenged to consider how the research advances their thinking around the use of television and
radio drama to achieve development objectives. Individual papers discuss dramas from four developing countries
from Afghanistan, India, Nigeria and Cambodia. In Afghanistan, New Home New Life weaves its storylines around
the lives of three fictional village families. It raises a range of issues, including: repatriation, mines awareness, health
and conflict resolution. The paper will examine the role of audience evaluation in informing new creative content and
assessing the social realist fit of the drama. First broadcast across India in 2002, Jasoos Vijay is a television serial
detective drama addressing HIV and AIDS and sexual health through its central character, an HIV positive detective.
The drama employs a range of interactive strategies, all of which have been tested with the target audience. Wetin
Dey, a Nigerian television drama, aims to reach a diverse ethnic, religious, linguistic, urban and rural population to
address sexual health issues in general and HIV and AIDS in particular. The development of the drama and the
research, focused particular attention on the resonance and audience engagement of key characters. In Cambodia,
Taste of Life first aired on television in 2004. The programme conveyed key information about HIV and AIDS, road
safety, people trafficking and maternal and child health. Audience research has highlighted the relative effectiveness
of a variety of dramatic strategies and tactics.

Denise D. Bielby, U of California - Santa Barbara, USA
Over the past three decades the study of popular communication and popular media has formed a key concern of a
range of emerging interdisciplinary academic fields from Media and Communication Studies, Area Studies and
Cultural Sociology to (British) Cultural Studies. At the same time, popular communication research has explored the
impact of a wide range of political, cultural, social, economic and technological transformations from
democratization, mass consumerism and globalization to post-Fordism, deregulation and convergence. However, as
such phenomena further deepen the profound transformations of our life worlds and transform the role and forms of
popular communication in our daily routines, popular communication research confronts new challenges, offers new
insights and examines the need for new methodological departures.

This panel focuses on the effects of narrativity and news value on news construction, selection and retention among
journalists and recipients. It brings together two distinctly different research traditions in order to enhance our
understanding of news not only as an accumulation of attention generating components but also as a "good story".
The panel clarifies the meaning of narrativity and presents empirical applications.

Ritualization and mediatization in religion and commercial entertainment
Respondent
Jeremy Stolow, McMaster U, CANADA
In the interactions between "religion" and "the media" we can argue that "the latter are, in many ways, in the driver's
seat." (Hoover, 2006: 284). This metaphor refers to two fundamental insights: First, media "do not 'replace religion'",
and second, "media are religiously relevant" (Hoover, 2006: 269). So while religion does not disappear "in the media
age" we can't understand religion without understanding the media and its "influences" on religion. Using in this
context the concept of "mediatization", this panel will address the "driver's seat" metaphor. If we understand
"mediatization" to be the process of the incursion of "technical communication media" into different social and
cultural spheres, we can argue that the process of mediatization has both "quantitative" (more and more media are
accessible at more and more times, in more and more locations and so on) and a "qualitative" (this increase is related
to the change of our forms of communication and further socio-cultural contexts) implication. This panel will discuss
the present process of "mediatization of religion" within different media cultures in a transnational and transcultural
perspective. Doing this, the aim is to deepen theorization of this process. Based on empirical research in different
socio-cultural contexts (USA, Sweden, Germany) fundamental patterns of the mediatization of religion will be
outlined to in order to support the development of a general theoretical framework to describe the present and
increasingly contested process of the mediatization of religion.

Respondent
This panel analyzes "digital dissent" - tactical online expressions that seek to supplement and subvert corporate news
and 'infotaintment.' Developing concepts drawn from philosophers ranging from Guy Debord to Gilles Deleuze, Brian
Massumi to Jodi Dean, we theorize citizenship, publics, and politics as emergent themes throughout our interview
data and critical discourse analyses of war-blogs, viral videos, and "fake news." We challenge philosophies of
communication to account for the political efficacy of irony, fan sites as citizen participation, and the complicity of
participatory social networks in spectacular commodification.

Neoliberalism and Media Reform
Recent years have witnessed a growing concern among scholars of media/communication over the limits of social
action, specifically, the implications of neoliberalism in the "post-feminist," "post-civil rights," and "post-capitalist"
era(s) as it bowdlerizes and represses forms of activism. As feminist critics and scholars of race/ethnicity ponder the
incorporation of radical icons into the logics of merchandising, as tactics of social critique become transformed into
commodity forms surviving as little more than diverting spectacles, and as corporations and corporate celebrities take
their place as models for social empowerment leading charitable campaigns and global philanthropies, this roundtable
explores the ways in which social activism may itself be transforming into a branded commodity in the neoliberal era.
Providing a range of examples culled from radio and television media, consumer and cultural activist campaigns, and
Hollywood and independent films, the speakers at this roundtable consider modes and practices of social activism as
marketable commodities that are produced through labor, for purposes of trade within markets, and which generate
profit, competitive accumulation, and fetishization as commodities tend to do. Offering a variety of cases of
"commodity activism," this session highlights the implications of such commoditization for critical scholarship and
social action at this historical moment

Immigration has become racialized where we have global ethnic minorities (usually poor) seeing the need to migrate
from their countries of origin to core-rich nations. In the past fifty years, the influx of immigrants both mestizo and
indigenous people coming to the U.S. from Latin American countries has grown exponentially. This migration trend
is linked to economic hardship and political upheaval in the region, both provoked, in most cases, by institutions such
as the IMF and the World Bank along with U.S. government's policies detrimental for Latin American nations.
Responses to the growing presence of Latino immigrants and their U.S. born children, varies. The media is serving as
the main site for the discussion about immigration, depiction of migrants, and resistance from the population in
question.

Joshua Braun, Cornell U, USA
Respondent
Can wikis be useful tools for politics? The demonstrative success of Wikipedia has provoked some to ask if wikis
might support political deliberation. This panel will tackle the question, by examining several dimensions of their
design and use that could shape, propagate, or derail efforts to do politics on a wiki platform. These include the
management of conflict in wiki-organized communities, both around the production of content and around the
governance of the wiki itself; the way the technological affordances of wiki tools may shape the political discourse
that can emerge through them; and the problem of whether the agenda-setting tendencies of mass media, which are
often imagined to no longer apply in online contexts, are nevertheless reintroduced by the participants themselves.
These papers draw both on analysis of collaborative practices in Wikipedia itself and in WikiCandidate, a site
designed expressly to test the possibility of facilitating political deliberation using the wiki platform.

This panel examines how changes in the global media sphere have impacted the form, practice, and academic study of
public diplomacy. It reflects the 2008 conference theme by exploring the potential of public diplomacy efforts to
ameliorate cross-cultural tensions. Empirical studies examine how traditional government actors attempt to influence
the form and content of media flows across borders in service of public diplomacy goals and how this process is
complicated by the proliferation of media platforms and non-traditional public diplomacy actors.

This panel provides a forum for new research on the phenomenology of media. Phenomenological analysis allows for
a unique consideration of the temporal, subjective and ontological elements of media texts and media objects.
Research is conducted with regard to practice of phenomenological reduction, which allows the media scholar to
seriously interrogate the question of being as it is related to the space of consumption and media objects themselves.
This panel is fortunate to include Professor Paddy Scannell, widely recognized as the authority on phenomenology of
media, as a respondent to the presenters' research.

Communication, Class Power, and Social Contestation in China's "Third Debate on Reform" between 2004 and 2007
Respondent
Ruoyun Bai, New York U, USA
As class polarization becomes the defining feature of China's protracted social transformation, there is a growing
urgency to examine China's communication industries from a class perspective. The four papers in these panel
respond to this compelling imperative by examining the relationship between communication and the processes of
class formation in a wide range of empirical sites, including labor relations in ICT manufacturing, copyright disputes
in film, news representation of laid-off workers and the class orientation of media and Internet debates on the future
direction of China's transformation.
