Greenlee ranks ninth in AEJMC paper acceptance

By Matt Neznanski
Greenlee Graduate Assistant

Faculty and students received critical and academic acclaim at the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communications's convention in San Antonio in August.

Greenlee Director of Graduate Education Lulu Rodriguez reported the school ranked ninth in convention paper acceptance out of the 212 journalism and mass communication programs participating in this year’s convention.

“That our master’s students are competing aggressively with those who offer doctoral programs is a testament, I think, to the fact that our graduate program has become a national force,” she said.

Sixteen Greenlee papers were accepted for presentation, half of which were written by graduate students.

Recent graduate Jason Boucher won the Community Journalism Interest Group’s top student paper award for his paper “When Casinos Come to Town: How Iowa Newspapers Framed Gambling Expansion and the Influence of these Frames on Citizens’ Approval or Rejection of Casinos in their Counties.”

Greenlee School Director Michael Bugeja received the 2005 Clifford G. Christians Ethics Research Award, given for substantial and significant contributions to the field of ethics research. The award is given by the Carl Couch Center for Social and Internet Research.

Alumni, former faculty and dignitaries flocked to the Greenlee School’s centennial reception at the conference, which also brought out several candidates for the advertising and news and information strategies faculty positions available here this year.
