Hi All --<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>SIGCIS
members aiming to broaden their audience a bit and especially those
housed in Communication departments will be glad to know that a group of
folks have recently formed a<br>
Communication History Interest Group within the International
Communication Association. According to its charter, the group aims to
bring together folks around the following: <br><br>
a) The history of communication, including media history<br>
<br>
b) The history of the idea of communication<br>
<br>
c) The History of research into media and communication<br>
<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>My own
experience has been that the group has been quite catholic in its
interests and very open to the history of technology and technoculture
more broadly. To date, its panels have been among the best at ICA. For
those who want to follow up, the group keeps a website at:
<a href="http://www.communicationhistory.org/">
http://www.communicationhistory.org/</a> and a listserv at
<a href="http://www.communicationhistory.org/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/list/commhistlist/">
http://www.communicationhistory.org/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/list/commhistlist/</a>
