There is great flexibility regarding how to achieve the publishing requirement. In the past, some chairs and panelists have chosen to publish traditional papers, others have created a transcript of the presentation and discussion, or published an interview format. Once a panel is accepted, the Editor-in-Chief of Media-N will contact the chair(s) to further discuss and plan for the publishing requirement. All materials for publication must be completed by mid-April after the conference.
