Hello VisCom Division Members,
Next year’s AEJMC convention will take place in Washington D.C., Renaissance Hotel, August 8-11, 2013.!
Our panels, I believe, in Chicago were well organized and attended, timely and beneficial to us, visual educators. Let ‘s take this momentum and continue forward.
You have great ideas. We need to hear from you about panel ideas, such as freedom of expression using visual images, new ways of analyzing visual data, effective ways of teaching visual journalism, social media, content delivery, mobile devices, multimedia, user interactivity, journalism’s future and many, many more visual topics.
Please submit your ideas through this form: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?fromEmail=true&formkey=dHNZZU9oa05xSElmWkJFQ2szU3ZKNVE6MQ
In the form, you are asked to write what kind of panel you propose (Research, Teaching or Professional Freedom & Responsibility), whether there are any possible co-sponsors, what the panel is about, etc. The deadline for the panel submissions is October 8, 2012 (Monday).
