The Student Media Advisors Division of the Broadcast Education Association welcomes competitive panel and paper submissions for possible presentation at the BEA 56th Annual Convention & Exhibition in Las Vegas, Nevada, April 9-13, 2011.

DEADLINES

September 15, 2010: panel and paper submissions received

December, 2010: panelists and authors notified

April 9-13, 2011: panels and papers presented

DETAILS

All panel and paper submissions are now managed online, so visit www.beaweb.org/BEA2011 to submit. Detailed instructions are there for your review; if you have any questions, feel free to contact me (marjorie.yambor@wku.edu or 270.745.3035).

DESCRIPTION

The BEA 2011 convention spotlight is “BEA HD”; papers are invited to focus on this theme but are not required to do so. Papers must address some topic related to the goals and mission of the Student Media Advisors Division to provide a forum for those who supervise/advise student-operated media outlets. Papers should stimulate awareness of existing issues and related problems to student-operated electronic outlets on campuses, encourage discussion about the impact of student operations to professional colleagues in the field, or promote pedagogy relating to the operations of student broadcast outlets.

All submitted papers will be blind reviewed by a panel of judges and ranked according to contribution to student media, realization of relevant content, and application of appropriate style.

DEBUT/OPEN

Papers submitted to the competitive paper competition are classified in two categories: Debut and Open. The Debut category is for faculty, professionals, and graduate students who have never presented a paper at a BEA convention. The Open category is for those who have previously presented a paper at BEA. The top two papers in the Debut and Open categories will receive recognition and be presented at the division’s paper competition session at the BEA convention. In both the Debut and Open categories, the top paper will receive a $200 cash award and the second-place paper will receive a $100 cash award. The division may also select papers for presentation in the Scholar-to-Scholar (poster) session.

Welcome to the new online home of the Student Media Advisors division of the Broadcast Education Association! The development of this blog site was facilitated by BEA’s Director of Sales and Marketing J.D. Boyle and I want to thank him for helping us all stay connected.

There are many creative options available to us in the use of this blog, but our first goal will be to make all of our members aware of its existence. From that point forward we will attempt to make this space as interactive and engaging as possible. If you have content to share, please contact me at: john.owens@uc.edu
