[Alice E. Marwick]

The Donald McGannon Communication Research Center at Fordham University is
pleased to announce the co-winners of the 2014 Donald McGannon Award for
Social and Ethical Relevance in Communication Technology Research: Low
Power to the People (MIT) by Christina Dunbar-Hester of Rutgers University
and the University of Southern California and The War on Learning (MIT) by
Elizabeth Losh of the College of William and Mary. This is the first award
under the center’s revised mission to further understanding of the ethical
and social justice dimensions of media and communication technologies.
Both books were deemed by the review committee to make substantial
contributions to the study of the social and ethical implications of
communication technologies.
