The AEJMC Newspaper Division's spring and summer newsletters are now online, including plenty of news:

• National faculty awards for professors Dorothy Bowles at UT Knoxville and Janna Quitney Anderson at Elon University (see page 3 of that PDF newsletter)
  
• A call for discussion of changing the Newspaper Division's name to reflect changes in members' research and in the converged news industry itself. (As I mentioned on the division home page, what was once the International Newspaper Marketing Association, now uses the word "Newsmedia" in its name, but other groups like the Newspaper Association of America and American Society of Newspaper Editors still emphasize their roots. The American Press Institute is still around, too, along with its Newspaper Next project.)
  
• Listings of conference paper presentations and forums at the annual AEJMC Convention, which will be in Chicago next month.

AEJMC is the Association for Education in Journalism & Mass Communication, which consists of 17 divisions, 10 special interest groups and 2 commissions, all providing newsletters, research competitions and convention programming.
