[Air-l] CFP Deadline extended

[Mark D. Johns]

The Iowa Journal of Communication announces a 2005 special issue on 
internet communication, guest edited by Mark Johns. Manuscripts should 
be received no later than *** MARCH 1, 2005 ***
             Computer-mediated technologies (CMTs) are no longer the 
province of "techies," but have become everyday means of social 
interaction in our society.  This interdisciplinary issue welcomes 
research on the impact CMTs have had in daily communication among family 
members and coworkers, colleagues and competitors, friends and 
strangers.  Papers investigating how individuals communicate with one 
another through email, community mailing lists (listservs or USENET), 
instant messaging, weblogs, MUDs and MOOs, game environments, and other 
online venues will be considered.  The issue will particularly focus on 
issues arising for researchers in effectively and ethically studying 
online communication, therefore papers dealing specifically with these 
"meta-research" issues, and papers suggesting particularly innovative 
adaptations of traditional research methods to the CMT settings are 
especially welcomed.
             We welcome submissions from researchers in a variety of 
areas.  Any manuscripts not accepted for the special issue will be 
considered for the general issue of the journal.
             The IJC follows a policy of blind review so no author 
identification should appear in the body of the manuscript.  Manuscripts 
should not exceed 25 pages and should include a title page that includes 
author(s) name, academic position, institutional affiliation, full 
address, telephone number, email address and brief author bio.  An 
abstract of not more than 150 words should accompany the paper.  All 
submissions must  conform to the most current edition of the APA. 
Queries and manuscript submissions should be sent electronically to: 
Kimberly A. Powell, Editor, Iowa Journal of Communication,
