list-server program.
Bits
and pieces about newspaper journalism
The
division's website editor also keeps an AEJMC-newspaper
division section of his Other
Journalism Weblog. (A "blogroll" of newspaper-related
weblogs will be added here on request if there are other division members
frittering away time on such things -- send suggestions to aejnews@stepno.com)
Research
material...
- Suggestions
for research were
given to the division in 2003 by Earl J. Wilkinson, executive director
of the International Newspaper Marketing Association (INMA), based
on a survey
of newspaper industry executives.
As noted in his cover letter,
the survey was the result of discussions about the possibility of
closer connections between academic researchers and the industry.
His report contains both the survey's core findings and verbatim responses
-- approaching 20 pages -- loosely organized into eight categories.
(Also see below for the Newspaper Division's own survey results, reported
before the convention.)
- INMA's favorite AEJMC research papers, 1993-2003

- Research
and ethics headed the list of topics members said the division
should focus on in the division's spring 2003 Web survey: See
the survey results.The
same survey included an open-ended question, "What issues or
topics should the Newspaper Division look at in the coming year?"
Full-text answers are here, as sent to
the division e-mail list.
