We seek proposals, panels, roundtables, and workshops for sessions on the
cultural impact of radio, telephony, recording, amplification, and related
"smaller technologies" such as headphones, tuning dials, and sliders. Some
possible themes include, but are not limited to literary and artistic uses and
representations of radio and sound technology, histories of sound technologies,
relationships or conflicts between sound and visual culture, regulation, sound
 pedagogy, writing for sound and radio and/or sound technology and everyday
life.

CFP: Fake News and its Narratives (7/01/06; collection)

Submissions are invited for a proposed collection theorizing fabricated news and
its narratives.

In the past twenty-five years, American journalism has been scandalized by a
series of sensational cases of journalistic fraud. Janet Cooke, Stephen Glass,
and Jayson Blair are only the most notorious examples of reporters who have
been caught inventing characters, making up quotations, plagiarizing details,
and, in the most outrageous cases, faking entire stories.
