New Article Alert! Yara Acaf, Natalie Brown-Devlin, & Lucy Atkinson have published a case study titled "Do Fans Have to Choose Between Formula One and Sustainability?" that explores how F1 fans deal with potential cognitive dissonance between their environmental beliefs and fandom.
Looks like we're getting another influx so I'll reshare my journalism and mass comm academia starter pack. Methodology: I added anyone who asked but stopped when I hit the limit of 150, so there are a lot of good folks not here. Followers, drop your favorite starter packs in the comments!
The #AEJMC25 Conference Paper Competition is now open! Carefully review the paper call, create a new account in All Academic, and then you are ready to submit! Extended abstracts are again accepted and the deadline for all is April 1. community.aejmc.org/conference/p...
