[AEJMC Newspaper Division list] will this be known as the "naming convention"

[Karin Pühringer , IPMZ - Universität Zürich]

Dear colleagues,

Maybe I am old-fashioned, and maybe it is because I am European. Since 
decades newspapers were called almost dead ... But here in Zurich, 
Switzerland, about two thirds of the people getting to their workplaces in 
the morning read their newspapers in the buses, streetcars and trains. And 
still organizations spend more money on newspaper advertising than in 
TV-ads!
I therefore like to stick with our 'old' name, which sounds not old at all 
in my mind. Of course, there are changes, but theses changes are already 
reflected in the incomming papers, which I have the pleasure (at least in 
most of the cases) to review for a couple of years now.

Best wishes and cu in Chicago,
Karin
