AMERICAN JOURNALISM HISTORIANS ASSOCIATION
2005 MARGARET A. BLANCHARD DOCTORAL DISSERTATION PRIZE
The AJHA Margaret A. Blanchard Doctoral Dissertation Prize, given for
the first time in 1997, is awarded annually for the best doctoral
dissertation dealing with mass communication history. A cash award of
$300 will accompany the prize.
Eligible works shall include both quantitative and qualitative
historical dissertations, written in English, which have been completed
between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2004. For the purposes of this
award, a "completed" work is defined as one which has not only been
submitted and defended but also revised and filed in final form at the
applicable doctoral-degree-granting university by December 31, 2004.
To be considered, nomination packets must include:
1. One copy of the complete dissertation;
2. Four copies each of the following items, with all author, school, and
dissertation committee identification of any kind whited-out:
A. a single chapter from the dissertation [preferably not to
exceed 50 manuscript pages, not including notes, charts or photographs],
B. a 200-word dissertation abstract,
C. the dissertation table of contents;
3. A letter of nomination from the dissertation chair/director or the
chair of the university department in which the dissertation was
written;
4. A cover letter from the nominee indicating a willingness, should the
dissertation be selected for a prize, both to attend the awarding
ceremony and to deliver a public presentation based on the dissertation
at the 2005 American Journalism Historians Association Annual
Convention, October 6-8, 2005 in San Antonio, TX.
Note: Regarding Paragraph (2)(A) above, as a guide to selecting a
chapter for submission, the Award Committee has in the past expressed a
preference for a chapter which, if possible, highlights the work's
strengths as a piece of primary-sourced original research.
Nominations, along with all the supporting materials, should be sent to
the address below.
The deadline for entries is a postmark date of February 1, 2005.
