Communication Conference Papers

Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication Conference Papers
The archives contain about 3300 papers from 1993 to the present. The site at Michigan State University is not a true database. It is the Listserv email manager where each "message" is actually a full text paper.

To optimize use of the archives, it would be a good idea to read the scope and layout notes. The Help file can also be obtained by email. Send listserv@cmich.edu an email message with just the one line message: get help info aejmc. Not all papers presented at the various annual meetings are archived. This year [2006] fewer papers were granted permission for online posting.
