Abstract Submission for IAMCR extended to Feb 17

Following from Prof Vinod Pavrala,

Dear friends:

If you have not yet submitted an abstract to the upcoming IAMCR 2014 to be held in Hyderabad from July 15-19, 2014, you have another opportunity to do so now. The number of submissions as of yesterday has crossed 1200! The deadline for submission has been exteded up to February 17, 2014 to allow more people to participateSee all the relevant links in the below mail from the IAMCR local secretariat.  

As you know, the prestigious conference is returning to India after 25 years and provides us a great chance to showcase the research and scholarship in our region to the rest of the world. Eminent speakers such as Manuel Castells are lined up for the conference. While the registration fee may sound high, remember that it is the premier conference in media and communication studies in the world, and you save heavily on international travel. If you would like to explore possibilities for getting economical accommodation, please contact the IAMCR local secretariat atiamcr2014@gmail.com for suggestions.
Look forward to seeing everyone in Hyderabad in July,

warm regards,
Vinod

Respected Colleagues,

Greetings from the Local Organising Committee of IAMCR 2014!

At the request of some people in different parts of the world who have been experiencing technical difficulties unrelated to IAMCR's online abstract submission system, the Executive Board has agreed to extend the deadline to submit proposals by one week. 

The new deadline is Monday 17 February at 24:00 GMT

IAMCR's Executive Board and the Local Organising Committee in Hyderabad are pleased that the conference has already received more than 1200 proposals and hope that the extension will facilitate the widest possible participation of the global media and community research community.

We look forward to your participation.

Warm regards,
Shruti
