I'd love to see a panel on Multimedia Teaching Strategies. There are so many new media tools available and faculty members need to at least know they exist. I'd be happy to coordinate this one. Another thought is The Impact of the World Being Flat, what are the real implications of the changing demographics? It seems the obvious is being ignored. Historically, when minority groups grow in the community, white flight occurs. We're heard Harvard Professors discuss resegregation and other such notions. What are the real issues, what is the value of diversity education in a global economy? I'm happy to work on either one or both of these.

OF AEJMC [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Rios, Diana Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 9:06 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Panel proposals-ideas Federico, and All, A couple of comments from me, one is a co-sponship idea, the other is about the high profile panel. .Ideas--co-sponsorship between MAC and CTM. I just got a call for joint proposals from CTM (as anyone else would if you check off CTM's box). What I'm thinking is for a panel that squarely addresses the theoretical frameworks and the methodologies that have been used for examining the Latino press and other independent ethnic/racial presses in the United States. So, we have classic press functions, normative theories, dual cultural functions, pluralistic functions, social responsibility...and a menu of methodological techniques that are best suited for "print" or electronic media, or newer innovations for transmitting news. In this kind of panel I see the inclusion of historical memory(ies); changes in US race relations (broadly defined) and coverage; innovations in modes of information delivery; and adaptations, innovations in methodological techniques to keep up with everything. .Separately, I nominate Federico and Hayg to be possible panelists on the above possible co-sponship venture, or the high exposure panel. .Also, I hope we can confirm, solidify the kind of slot that would be allocated for the panel idea related to the Latino press. My understanding is that the elected committee on Research has The plenary for 2009. And what I recall at the board meeting is that the board said Yes (that was great, Hayg) to a plenary-kind-of-panel. So I'm still not solidly clear yet myself on what that looks like. Hayg can help us on that. Drios Dr. Diana I. Rios Associate Professor Communication Sciences and Institute for PRLS Dept.

That would provide a good context for better understanding the various types of Latino-oriented newspapers in this country.
