                         AEJMC Call For Papers
       Interest Group on the Status of Persons with Disabilities
           Submitted by Clark Edwards <edwards@DUQ3.DUQ.EDU>

    The Interest Group on the Status of Persons with Disabilities will
sponsor or co-sponsor eight different sessions during the four-day AEJMC
convention in Kansas City, Aug 11-14, 1993.  Four of the sessions will
be devoted to presentation of research on media and disability--one of
them, co-sponsored by the Advertising Division, will focus on research
on the presentation of individuals with disabilities in advertising.
The interest group will team up with the Media Management and Economics
Division for a teaching session on disability issues in journalism
education-- including educating future media managers about the impact
the Americans with Disabilities Act will have on the newsroom.

    The Interest group's activities get underway the first day of the
convention with a research panel at 11 a.m.  Wednesday August 11.  The
business meeting is set that evening at 7:15, immediately following the
keynote address and reception.

    The afternoon of the second day, Thursday August 12, will be busy.
The joint research session on disability portrayal in advertising is at
1:30.  Following a break for refreshments, we team up with the Visual
Communication and Theory and Methodology Divisions for a PF&R
(Professional Freedom and Responsibility) panel on pictorial stereotypes
in the media.  Another research paper session follows at 5:15.  Friday's
activities by the group will be a bit less hectic, consisting solely of
the teaching session with Media Management and Economics at 10:30 a.m.

    The final day of the convention, Saturday August 14, starts of with
a panel at 10 a.m. and a final research session at 12:45.

    Those who are considering submitting research papers to the Interest
Group's paper competition should note that this year's schedule has more
than triple the time allotted for presentation of research on media and
disability than we had last year in Montreal.  Papers should be sent to
Ann Preston, Department of Communication, North Dakota State University,
Fargo, ND 58105.  And just a reminder that our joint research session
with the Advertising Division means we'll be looking for research
examining the presentation of disability in advertising.

Communication and Theory and Methodology, the contact person is Paul
Lester, California State University, Fullerton, 717-449-5302; FAX

         Submitted by P. Gordon Sroufe <cfpgs1@uxa.ecn.bgu.edu>

   (Note:  The Listserv discussion described in this notice is not a
    Comserve hotline.)

    Announcing the formation of a new discussion list for individuals
interested in all aspects of video production and operations.

    The list is called VIDPRO-L.  The focus of discussion will be
professional video production at all levels.  However, anyone with an
interest in video production or equipment operations is invited to
subscribe and join the discussion.  The list can also serve as a point
for asking questions about equipment purchases, equipment problems,
production problems, etc., etc.

    As the list grows it may also become a location for posting
verifiable position in video production.  If you are aware of positions,
send them directly to me for posting.  The list is currently moderated
to avoid duplication and "junk mail" from reaching the subscribers.

    Once again, anyone with an interest in video is welcome to
subscribe.  To subscribe to VIDPRO-L, send a message to:
LISTSERV@UXA.ECN.BGU.EDU (or LISTSERV@ECNUXA on Bitnet), leave the
subject line blank, in the body of the message type:

                SUBSCRIBE VIDPRO-L first-name last name

    I look forward to seeing you on the list and your contributions.

methodologies as used in education, training and research.

    A special theme issue of S&G is being prepared on the theme of
diversity and multi-culturalism, and will include topics such as:

  cross-cultural communication                   diplomacy
