Conference call
Call for papers: Australian Journal of Emergency Management -- Emergency Media and Public Affairs Conference
Submissions are invited for presentation at the research stream of
the Emergency Media and Public Affairs conference to be held 25-27 June, 2008 and for subsequent publication in the Australian Journal of Emergency Management.
The aims of the Emergency Media and Public Affairs Conference are:
To benchmark the best media liaison and public affairs responses
to disaster across Australia and to share lessons learned by
practitioners and researchers
;
To provide ample opportunity for discussion on topics of common
concern to all practitioners so that ideas can be generated and
solutions canvassed
;
To provide a common meeting ground for practitioners and
researchers for discussions on various aspects of emergency response
and action plans
;
To allow researchers to share their findings with practitioners
and other researchers.
The theme for the conference is “Excellence in Crisis
Communications”. Conference organisers are seeking academic
research that will contribute to further understanding of crisis
communications, including journalistic practice, especially that
relating to emergencies.
Papers accepted for the research stream of the conference will be
double blind peer reviewed and accepted for publication in the
Australian Journal of Emergency Management. The journal is published
quarterly and is mailed to the emergency management community in
Australia and selected international organisations.
Please send a 200-word proposal that also contains name, position and
contact details to the conference co-chair, Barbara Ryan at
ryanb@usq.edu.au by Friday, 23 November, 2007. Submitters will be
notified of their success or otherwise by Monday, 3 December, 2007.
