Call for papers: "Mapping The Magazine: A Cross-disciplinary Symposium on Magazine Studies," 26-27 June 2003 at the Hopkinson Centre for Media Research, Cardiff University, seeks to bring together practitioners and researchers from all disciplines with an interest in magazines and periodical journalism. Papers which map this fast-changing field or foster new research directions are particularly welcome, as is cross-disciplinary work. The symposium seeks to develop international research networks within the field and it is hoped the final plenary session will lead to the establishment of a regular Magazine Conference. The magazine publishing industry will have a presence. Abstracts of papers are invited to Donald Matheson by 31 January 2003 at magconf@cardiff.ac.uk
