We didn't manage to give this award out at the banquet, and
then Laura was not able to be present at the Annual meeting
when it was announced officially.

So, Congratulatons to LAURA ROBINSON on winning the IR Student
Paper Award for her paper "Debating the Events of September
11th:  Discursive and Interactional Dynamics in Three Online
Fora."

Comments included
"Well-written, thorough, good methodology"
"A very strong, significant paper in terms of
interdisciplinary theory, combined methodologies, as well as
intercultural perspectives." 

A plaque and copies of the AoIR annual will be making their
way to Laura very soon.

We also identified one runner up who was very close in the
race. Congratulations also to Runner-up VICTOR PICKARD for his
paper "Neoliberal Imperative in Global Communication Systems
from NWICO to WSIS."

Congrats to all who submitted papers. We wish we had more
prizes! Now, on to Australia!!  /Caroline
