New Year, New Goals, New

Millennium

2000-2001 Division Chair
at are your goals this year? What
would you like to accomplish as an educator? What are your
research goals? What service activities are you going to be
involved in? And, finally, what can the law division of
AEJMC do to help you meet your goals?
During the extraordinarily successful Phoenix convention, I
spent some time pondering the goals we should have as
members of the law division of AEJMC and my goals as
chair of the division. In addition to pondering, I spoke to a
number of you about what you'd like to see the division
accomplish this year.
According to AEJMC's statement: The AEJMC exists to
promote the highest possible standards for education in
journalism and mass communication, to encourage the
widest possible range of communication research, to
encourage the implementation of a multi-cultural society in
the classroom and curriculum, and to defend and maintain
freedom of expression in day-to-day living.

yourself. Discover your psychological type as a writer. Do
research you enjoy.
These are some of the tips that five scholars shared at a
session at the August AEJMC convention in Phoenix titled,
Maximizing your research productivity. Co-sponsored by
the Law Division and the Small Program Interest Group, the
panel included administrators, professors from journalism
programs small and large, and an expert in rhetoric and
composition who shared their advice on how to stay active as
a researcher, despite the distractions of daily life that we all
face. The author served as moderator.
Delegation and collaboration are two key ways that Tim
Gleason, dean of the School of Journalism at the University
of Oregon, manages to stay productive. He advised
administrators to make good use of any staff assistance
available to them, both to accomplish tasks and to guard
against interruptions during research and writing sessions.
Because administrative demands can limit the time available
for research, he recommended that administrators collaborate
by involving graduate students. Gleason, a member of the
Law Division, also said that reviewing manuscripts and
serving as a contributing editor also help to keep him in a
scholarly mindset.
Sharon Dunwoody, director of the School of Journalism and
Mass Communication at the University of Wisconsin-
Madison, also recommended collaborating with other
scholars as a way to stay active in research. External funding
will also help an administrator's research going, said
Dunwoody, a member of the Communication Theory and
Methodology Division. She recommended that
