Details

Following the success of the international conference on broadcasting archaeologies, histories, impacts and futures in June 2002, we are calling for papers for a second conference on broadcasting histories taking place in June 2004. The previous conference produced a significant number of papers on radio as well as television and we welcome papers which cover both media or which examine their relationship through broadcasting history. Though we welcome papers on any and every aspect of domestic and international broadcasting history, we are particularly keen to examine aspects of children’s programmes, radio and television, television and radio comedy, as well as television and radio drama.

This conference aims to encourage a wide range of papers which contribute to the emerging debate about broadcasting histories, as well as papers which, through an awareness of past developments in broadcasting, make informed comments on contemporary and future developments, from the local to the global.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Papers are invited which cover domestic and international broadcasting history, with particular interest in aspects of children’s programmes, radio and television, television and radio comedy, as well as television and radio drama.

ABSTRACT GUIDELINES
· Abstracts should be about 300 words in length, on disc or as an email attachment, listing name, organisation, contact address, telephone and email address, and should include the title of the proposed paper.

The closing date for abstracts is the 23rd February 2004. Please note that paper presenters need to register for the conference and pay the registration fee. The conference language is English.
