Twelve papers submitted by Greenlee School faculty and graduate students were recently accepted by the International Communication Association for its annual conference this June in Dresden, Germany.

Eight faculty papers and four written by two graduate students were accepted in at least seven of the conference’s 21 divisions.

Assistant Professor Jeffrey Blevins examined First Amendment legal philosophy as applied to broadcast ownership following the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The paper will be presented to the Communication Law and Policy Division.

Former graduate student Porismita Borah, with Assistant Professor David Bulla, compared newspaper framing of the Indian Ocean tsunami and hurricane Katrina in three countries. The paper will be presented to the conference’s Visual Studies Division.

Borah, now a Ph.D. student at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, also had accepted a newspaper content analysis of dowry in India based on her master’s thesis, as well as a law seminar paper she wrote with Associate Professor Barbara Mack.

Assistant Professor Daniela Dimitrova had three co-authored papers accepted in the Journalism Studies, Communication and Technology, and Political Communication divisions.

Dimitrova and Greenlee Director Michael Bugeja submitted continued work in online citation permanence, specifically in communication journals.

Her second paper looks at coverage of the European Union from Bulgaria and Romania, countries that are candidates for the EU. As second author, Dimitrova also compared election coverage differences in the United States and Sweden.

Assistant Professor Suman Lee had two papers accepted to the conference, an analysis of international public relations in the United States and a paper co-authored with Associate Professor Lulu Rodriguez testing situational theory in anti-bioterrorism information campaigns. Both papers will be presented to the Public Relations Division.

Rodriguez examined the use of photos as a way to assess village needs for extension planning in Hangzhou, China. The paper will be presented to the Intercultural and Development Communication Division.

Greenlee graduate student Young Min Baek had two papers accepted for presentation. The first is titled “A Longitudinal Analysis of Internet Diffusion in 68 Countries: The Effects of Economic, Social and Demographic and Telecommunication Factors.”

The second, "Multiple Dimensions of Trust in Organizations and Their Effects on Open Communication Intentions," is co-authored (with Baek as first author) with Chan-su Jung, a graduate student at the University of Georgia.
