BEA
History Division
2004 Call for Papers
The
History Division of the Broadcast Education Association invites
scholarly papers from academics, students and professionals for
presentation at its annual convention, April 16-19, 2004 in Las
Vegas, Nevada. The BEA2004 convention theme is Bold Vision,
Fresh Thinking: Untangling Media's Gordian Knot. Although
the theme is intended as a focus for the convention, competitive
papers are not limited only to that theme. All topics appropriate
to the History Division are welcomed. Papers are to be submitted
as either "Debut" or "Open" papers. First and
second place winners in Debut categories receive $200 and $100 to
help defray their costs of attending the convention. The Debut category
is open only to those who have never previously presented a paper
at a BEA Convention. Graduate students and new faculty members are
strongly encouraged to submit debut work.
Submission Requirements
- The detachable cover page must include:
the author's name(s), institutional affiliation, institution address,
phone number and e-mail. The cover page should also have the title
of the paper, the "History Division" designation, and

or "debut" entry. Any papers without such designation
will be considered in the open category. Any references to the
author or institutional affiliation should not appear anywhere
else in the paper.
- The title should be printed on the first
page of the paper and in an abbreviated form in running head on
all subsequent pages.
