Jim Avery presented a paper to the British Academy of Marketing titled “Issues with the Marketing of an Art Museum” with co-author Dejana Prnjat in March. Avery also traveled to China to present a paper, “Yin and Yang of Pharmaceutical Advertising: Asia/China and the U.S.,” to the Advertising Theory and Practice Against the Background of Globalization Progress conference at Shanghai University.

Charles C. Self, Gaylord Chair, professor and founding dean, discussed the implications of changes in communication theory for concepts of media and for communication research and scholarship during four lectures in June at the University of Bucharest, Romania. Self was in Romania as part of an exchange program signed last fall between the Gaylord College and the University of Bucharest’s School of Journalism.

Self also visited the United Arab Emirates as part of an International Advisory Committee that reviewed the College of Communication and Media Studies at Zayed University with campuses in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The university was established by the UAE as a women’s college designed to prepare young women for leadership positions in developing the United Arab Emirates as an international business hub of the Middle East.

Five members of the Gaylord College faculty presented research in June from a study and book they have developed in cooperation with a European research team. The research focused on foreign correspondence and the image of Europe in the United States and the image of the United States in Europe as seen through the work of foreign correspondents. Members of the team presenting the research at the meeting of the International Communication Association Conference in Dresden, Germany, included Peter Gross, Self, David Craig, Katerina Tsetsura and Ralph Beliveau.

Tsetsura also presented “Toward a Social Construction of the Field of Global Public Relations: A Case of Female Practitioners in Russia” in August at the public relations division of the Association of Education in Journalism and Mass Communication in San Francisco.

Assistant Professor Katerina Tsetsura presented “International Media Transparency Experiences” in the public relations division of the Central States Communication Association in Indianapolis in April.

Tsetsura and Craig presented a paper titled “Professional Values, Ethics and Norms of Foreign Correspondents” in June in the journalism studies interest group of the International Communication Association, Dresden, Germany.

Professor Jim Davis’ novel, “The Van Gogh Conspiracy,” has been published in Spanish translation as “La Conspiración de Van Gogh.”

Assistant professor Robert Kerr’s “Unconstitutional Review Board? Considering a First Amendment Challenge to IRB Regulation of Journalistic Research Methods” will be published in the summer issue of Communication Law and Policy.

Craig has received a $2,800 grant from the Carnegie-Knight Initiative on the Future of Journalism Education to continue his research into ethical choices in online writing and editing.

Associate professor Scott Hodgson, who joined the faculty in August, won the Best of Festival Faculty Prize in video production at the Broadcast Education Association meeting in Las Vegas. This is the top video award given by BEA to a broadcast production faculty member.

Dana Rosengard wrote a chapter in the third edition of “Broadcast News Handbook: Writing, Reporting and Producing in a Converging Media World.”

Among the award winners were Sarah Waldrop, who received second place, In-Depth Reporting for “OU salaries, ranks uneven” and second place, Feature Writing for “The trying 20s.” The staff also won third place in the General News Reporting category for Hurricane Katrina coverage.

Nine students in the Advertising Campaign class presented their advertising campaigns for American Airlines, the class’ client for the semester. Dr. Rob Britton, managing director of brand development and advertising, attended the judging session to hear student ideas for the campaigns.

Seven of the top 12 freshmen selected by the university for 2005-2006 were from the Gaylord College. In addition, 18 Gaylord graduating students – a record – were offered membership in Phi Beta Kappa.
