Roy W. Howard Professor David Weaver organized and chaired a panel, "Journalism Research in an Era of Globalization," at the 50th anniversary conference of the International
Association for Media & Communication Research (IAMCR) in Paris July 22-25.

This panel was based on a book that Weaver co-edited with a German colleague, Martin Loeffelholz of Ilmenau University, entitled Global Journalism Research: Theories, Methods, Findings, Future. It is being published by Blackwell Press in December of this year.
