42 Media L. Notes 1 (2013-2014)

handle is hein.journals/mdilwnts42 and id is 1 raw text is: AEJMG Law & Policy Division IN THIS ISSUE Derigan Silver University of Denver derigan.silver@du.edu As the Law and Policy Division finishes celebrating its 40th anniversary, the division is in great shape, thanks to a long history of outstanding leadership and a great group of current officers who have a lot planned for the upcoming year. I cannot thank our current and previous officers enough for their service and commitment to our division. We currently have a number of projects in various stages. Vice Chair Daxton Chip Stewart has already put together some great proposals for the 2014 AEJMC Conference. Chip is working with a wide variety of divisions including several we haven't co-sponsored a panel with for numerous years. Thanks to everyone who submitted a proposal for the conference to Chip. Remember that the conference is in Montreal, and you will need your passport. In addition to our regular panels, we are working on two separate pre-conference sessions, one looking forward and one looking back. The first panel will feature authors whose articles have been accepted for Communication Law and Policy's special edition, Communication Law and Technology: The Next Twenty Years. (See included call.) Please circulate the call for papers as wide as possible and encourage colleagues at your university in law, engineering, computer science, philosophy, and political science to consider submitting an article or consider co-authoring a paper with someone from one of these fields. It would be great to see some new faces at our conference. Our second pre-conference event will feature three panels dedicated to the 50th anniversary of New York Times Co. v. Sullivan. I have asked three division members to work on putting together panels that will explore different areas of this landmark decision. We will announce the themes and composition of these panels as we receive confirmations from panelists. If you have ideas on commemorating this historic decision, please email me. Also be on the lookout for our new division website. Erin Coyle, now entering her third year as our division's Webmaster, has been hard at work creating a new site that should be launching soon. I also encourage you to watch for the call for the division's teaching competition. As discussed at our annual business meeting in August, submissions were down this year. For the 2013-14 competition our Teaching Chair, Jason Martin, has decided to return to a general call for teaching ideas. In the last few years we have selected a special theme for the competition. I also encourage division members who have submitted in the past but who did not win to re-submit their ideas. For years this competition was a great source of creative ideas and we hope to feature winners at a conference panel at the 2015 AEJMC conference in San Francisco. Finally, please note the call for submissions for the 2014 Southeastern Colloquium to be held in beautiful Gainesville, Florida. The Colloquium has always been a great place for graduate students to launch their academic presentation careers and an excellent place for faculty to present their latest research before sending it off to our conference competition or for publication. Gainesville has its own airport and isn't too far from airports in Jacksonville, Orlando, and Tampa. I hope too see many of you there. PAGE I Jasmine E. McNealy PF&R Chair University of Kentucky jemcnealy@uky.edu California is, and continues to be a leader in creating policy on digital issues. It only makes sense that the home of Internet giants like Facebook, Google, and Apple would be one of the firsts, if not the first state to create law attempting to tackle pressing online issues. Its new eraser button law, requiring all web sites, ISPs, and mobile application providers to provide California users under the age of 18 with notice that they have the right, under the law, to remove the information that they have posted. Signed into the law in September of this year, but not taking affect until January 1, 2015, the law formerly known as SB 568 Continued on page 4.
