The Carl Couch Center invites nominations or self‑nominations for
works to be considered for its annual James W. Carey Media Research
Award. Welcome are works on topics that were central to Carey's
scholarship. Submissions might focus on technology, time, space and
communication, the nature of public life, the relation between
journalism and popular culture ‑‑ among others ‑‑ taking these themes
in new or different directions. Applications will be evaluated based
on engagement with Carey's approaches and concepts, originality, and
advancement of knowledge.  Evaluation will be administered by a Review
Committee of:

 Prof. Stuart Adam, Carleton University
 Prof. John Pauly, Marquette University
 Prof. Jeff Pooley, Muhlenberg College
 Prof. Linda Steiner, University of Maryland

Both single and multiple authored works will be accepted.  All
submissions must be works that have been published or have been
accepted for publication in a book or journal. To be considered for
the 2016 award, works should have been published or accepted in 2015.

Submitted works should be sent to Mark D. Johns, executive director of
CCCSIR at the address below, according to the following directions:
Works may be submitted electronically in plain text, Microsoft Word or
PDF format. If a book is submitted, please send a copy of the table of
contents and front matter electronically, along with a brief author
statement (500 words maximum) describing how the book relates to
Carey's thought. Then ask your publisher to furnish six (5) review
copies for consideration by the committee.

The application deadline is April 1, 2016. Notification of award
application will be sent out by June 15.

The Award winner will receive the Carey Award plaque to be presented
