The AEJMC Council of Affiliates Annual Industry Research Forum competition began with AEJMC’s Centennial conference in August 2012 in Chicago. The interdependence between the academy and the professional and industry organizations it serves provides an opportunity for collaboration on research that can benefit everyone.
The Council of Affiliates of AEJMC, which consists of member organizations related to the fields of journalism and mass communication, is therefore sponsoring this Industry Research Forum designed to strengthen that academy/industry link.
The 2013 winners each presented their research at the AEJMC Conference in Washington, DC. The winners are as follows and can be found here:
“All the News That Fits on Tablets: An Analysis of News Consumption and Best Practices,” Yanick Rice Lamb, Howard University
“Social Media And Journalism: What Works Best And Why It Matters,” Sue Burzynski Bullard, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
