[Air-L] Petition against ICA Exec Comm vis-a-vis Gaza

[Saif Shahin]

Dear friends,

The Executive Committee of the International Communication Association,
perhaps the largest organization of communication scholars, recently
dismissed a proposal by an Arab scholar for a forthright statement against
the genocide in Gaza and the killing of Palestinian journalists by Israel.
Some colleagues have put together a petition condemning the undemocratic
manner in which the ICA EC acted, which we believe undermines its own
policies and principles.

We are inviting scholars and educators, especially from the fields of
communication, media, and journalism studies, to join our petition. Please
read it if you have a few minutes to understand what happened and sign on if
you agree with our stance.
