Dear KACA members and friends:
KACA has created a board (www.kacanet.org/talk) to provide members with assistance connecting those who have reserved hotel rooms during the ICA conference and those who are looking for a room to share.
If you are a room-holder or a room-seeker who would like to share a room but hasn’t found your roommate yet, post your request on the board (www.kacanet.org/talk) and contact those who show his/her interest in sharing the room with you.
To post your request or reply to any request, you need to register as a member. Registering is hassle free. It is simple and easy, and takes less than one minute. Click the word, “Register,” placed in the upper left-hand corner of the website and create your user id for the board.
Please remember that the message board (www.kacanet.org/talk) is created as a members-operated board, which means you need to contact (or be contacted) and find your roommate. KACA will not be involved in a roommate matching process.

ICA Report
May 22 – 26 2008 Montreal Canada
Related blog post: KACA ICA 08 – pics
In 2008 ICA, KACA hosted several events: KACA state-of-the-art panel session, KACA business meeting, KACA reception, and a breakfast meeting for students.
Four papers were chosen to be presented in the KACA state-of-the art panel session:
Framing of South Korean Legislator Blogs. Sungwook Hwang (U of Missouri – Columbia), Wayne Wanta (U of Missouri)
The Impact of Korean Television Drama Viewership on the Social Perceptions of Single Life and Having Fewer Children in Married Life. Bumsub Jin (U of Florida), Seongjung Jeong (Dong-Ah Institute of Media and Arts)

KACA president, Dr. Hye-ryeon Lee chaired the session and led the discussion after presentations. Presentations were well received and followed by highly engaging and quality discussion.
KACA hosted a business meeting after the panel session. Because of conflict with other conference schedules, only small number of members attended. One of the main topics discussed in the meeting was how to attract larger audience to KACA panel sessions. Many ideas were suggested and entertained including submitting a panel proposal for special topics.
KACA reception was a huge success with students and professors from both Korea and North America. Montreal consul general Shin Gil-Sou, who sponsored the reception, attended and gave a speech of encouragement.

Call for Papers
Communication Yearbook 34 : A Publication of the International Communication Association
Editor: Charles T. Salmon
CY 34 is a forum for the exchange of interdisciplinary and internationally diverse scholarship relating to communication in its many forms. Specifically, we are seeking state-of-the-discipline literature reviews and essays that advance knowledge and understanding of communication systems, processes, and impacts. Submitted manuscripts should provide a rigorous assessment of the status, critical issues and needed directions of a theory or body of research; offer new theory; and/or expand the boundaries of the discipline. In all cases, submissions should be comprehensive and thoughtful in their synthesis and analysis, and situate a body of scholarship within a larger intellectual context.
A distinguishing characteristic of CY 34 will be its strong international orientation. Associate editors from six continents and editorial board members from twenty countries will help ensure that the volume is global in scope. Each published manuscript will include a response from a scholar working on a different continent in an allied area. Another distinguishing characteristic of CY 34 is that it can accommodate submissions of up to 60 pages, which allows for in-depth treatment of a topic (though more concise submissions are welcomed as well).
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically via a Word attachment to Charles T. Salmon, Editor, CY 34, at CY34@msu.edu no later than January 15, 2009. Early submissions are welcomed. Only completed manuscripts will be considered for review. The volume is scheduled to appear in print in May, 2010.
All submissions must be prepared in advance for blind review, with all identifying aspects removed. The title page must be submitted as a separate word document, and should include all contact information (i.e., mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, and fax number) for all authors as well as a list of keywords that will help in the identification of appropriate reviewers. Potential contributors may certainly review relevant literature published in any language, but submissions must be written in English and adhere stylistically to APA, 5th edition.
For more information about CY 34 or this call for submissions, please contact Charles T. Salmon at CY34@msu.edu
