Comment on Discuss the Newspaper Division’s Name by stevejfox

It’s not really about the name. It’s more about the mindset. A mindset focused on newspapers is a mindset focused on the past. I wrote about this a bit after attending my first AEJMC conference last year:
http://umassjournalismprofs.wordpress.com/2009/08/07/a-wake-up-call-for-aejmc/

The focus for this division, whatever the name, needs to be on the journalism. The delivery form has/is changing and there are many forward-thinking issues to tackle. The content and the many new ethical issues that have arisen with “new media” matter and need to be at the center, not somewhere out on the margins. That should be the focus of the “Newspaper-related-issues-but-not-really-focused-on-the-dying-print-newspaper-model division.”

As of Aug. 1, Bill C is in transit to Denver and will have limited e-mail access to manage submissions to the mailing list, but this blog version of the discussion will remain open through the Denver convention.
About two dozen members have added to the discussion via the division’s e-mail list.
However, I’ve noticed I’m missing about half of the messages in Gmail, and I can rarely tell who is replying to whom.

For anyone else who suspects they might be missing part of the conversation, here’s a direct link to the mailing list Web archive:
