The New Media Caucus invites panel proposals for a 1.5-hour affiliated panel open session to be held during the 2013 College Art Association annual conference in New York City.

PUBLISHING REQUIREMENT:
Media-N Journal of the New Media Caucus will publish a conference edition after the CAA conference with reports from all NMC sponsored activities. To this end, Chairs will be responsible for writing a report about the panel in addition to collecting, editing and arranging the materials from their panelists for the journal edition. 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.
