The Fall 2011 edition of LeadTime, the Newspaper and Online News Division newsletter, is available for downloading here and in the LeadTime archives.
Featured articles include the call for papers for the Southeast Colloquium (deadline Dec. 5), a profile of Curtis MacDougall and the division’s MacDougall student paper award, a visit to China with University of Memphis professors Jin Yang and David Arant, the news that the division is teaming up with the American Copy Editors Society to create the ACES Award For Research On Editing, and a “news ecosystems” panel report from the 2011 convention.
Chris Roberts, 2011-12 head of the division, also offers reflections on the Newspaper and Online News Division name change and other signs that journalism, like the word “media,” is plural.
