Hi friends, MAC is putting together a terrific program for our national convention in August. As Vice Head I am finalizing the panels and panelists. If anyone is interested or can serve as a panelists on any of these areas, please let me know. 1. Th. 8-4-2004 11:45 am with Vis Com a panel on "Picturing Class: The Role of News Imagery in Reinforcing or Challenging Perceptions of Social Class" James Rada from Howard is confirmed. 2. Friday, 8-6-2004 at 6:45-8:15 with Vis Com a research panel on Visual Communication Research Methods.This panel is to discuss ways of researching visual messages. It seems like a good opportunity for us to talk about covering minorities issues too! Thanks, MC Dr. M.C.
