Dear MeCCSA members, We are currently in the process of putting together the next edition of Three-D, the official newsletter of the Media, Communication and Cultural Studies Association (MeCCSA), due to be published in October / November 2011. We welcome contributions from our members as outlined below. This is your newsletter and an opportunity to connect with colleagues within your subject association. To have a look at previous editions of the newsletter, please visit the MeCCSA website: http://www.meccsa.org.uk/news/newsletter/ Deadline for all contributions and adverts is Friday 7th October. FEATURE ARTICLES: HE WHITE PAPER AND FUNDING CUTS Each newsletter has a range of feature articles / commentary pieces dealing with contemporary issues and debates. The next edition of Three-D will again be focussing on the challenges faced by the higher education sector, and our field in particular, in light of the current government’s policies and strategic directions. We do also welcome proposals on other topics as well, so please do get in touch if you have an idea or suggestion. Feature articles can span as many pages as you wish, but in order to make formatting easier, articles should be in multiples of 500 words (so either 500, 1000, 1500 etc). Features like these are usually 1000-1500 words. You can also combine an article with an info box or similar. Articles can be accompanied by images. SUCCESS AND INNOVATION IN HE At a time when higher education is increasingly under pressure, we wish to highlight positive examples of developments or innovations within our field. The focus of these articles can include, but are not restricted to, the opening of new research centres, development of new degree programmes, innovation in pedagogy, new research or teaching facilities, specific individual or institutional achievements. Success stories should be 500 words long and can be accompanied by images. ADVERTISING We accept advertising from external organisations in Three-D. The current rates are: Up to quarter of a page (1/16 or 1/8th or 1/4): £225 Half a page: £250 Full page: £300 DEADLINE AND SUBMISSIONS All submissions should be emailed to Einar Thorsen on [log in to unmask]<applewebdata:[log in to unmask]> Deadline for all contributions and adverts is Friday 7th October, although I would greatly appreciate if you could give me an indication as soon as possible if you wish to contribute or not.
