• The main entrance to John Jay is at 899 Tenth Avenue between West 58^th & West 59^th Avenues (across from Roosevelt Hospital).  If you use this entrance, you will proceed through security and down an escalator.  Then, walk straight ahead through the main building and into the new building (they are connected).  You’ll pass through a red-painted lobby with 4 elevators before entering the atrium of the new building.  The Registration area will be to your left as soon as you enter the atrium.

Registration

The Registration desk, located in the atrium near the conference center, will open at 8:30 am.  The cost is $50 (includes breakfast and continental lunch), payable by cash or check.  Checks should be made payable to Loyola University (include “Journalism Conference” in the memo).

Presentation Technology

If you plan to use Powerpoint or other visuals, you’ll need to put those files on a USB/flash drive.  There are computers in all of the classrooms, but there are no laptop connection cords, so you will not be able to plug in your personal laptop.  There will be Wi-fi available.  Log-in information will be provided at the conference.

The Joint Journalism Historians Conference is now the Joint Journalism and Communication History Conference.

In order to reflect the broad range of scholars doing research in journalism, media and communication history, the conference has added “communication” to its name, and has changed “historians” to history, since even though history is the common thread of the conference, not all researchers who attend the conference think of themselves as historians.

The call for papers for the next conference, to be held on March 10, 2012, will be released this week.

Each year, students from St. John Fisher College attend the Joint Journalism Historians Conference to coordinate our multimedia coverage. This year, under the direction of SJFC professor Todd Sodano, the students shot, uploaded and edited eight videos. They have just been posted at the team’s YouTube channel. Thanks to Professor Sodano and especially the students for all of their hard work.

Mitchell Stephens, NYU journalism professor and the keynote speaker at this year’s Joint Journalism Historians Conference has posted the text (and a convenient bullet point summary) of his lunchtime address at his blog. Read it here.

Thanks to all of the presenters and to the terrific staff at NYU for making this the biggest JJHC ever. On to 2012!
