Below is the call for papers for our upcoming conference, The Point is to Change It: Media Democracy and Democratic Media in Action, November 1-3, 2013 at the University of San Francisco. This year, UDC is partnering with Project Censored, so we should have a profoundly energetic, intellectual, and political conference. We are taking steps to reduce the cost of attending the conference by finding affordable accommodations.
We hope you will consider submitting your work to the 2013 conference of UDC and Project Censored.
Details for nominating candidates for the Dallas Smythe award will be circulated shortly.
Any ideas, inquiries, or comments may be directed toward our co-organizers, Brian Murphy at bmm@niagara.edu, Michelle Rodino-Colocino at michelle@psu.edu (both of UDC), or Andy Lee Roth of Project Censored, at andyleeroth@gmail.com.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far to organizing this conference. We will be in touch again shortly with our wonderful volunteers. If you would like to volunteer to help organize this year's conference, please contact Brian or Michelle.
To stay "in the loop" on conference updates, please consider "following" UDC using one of the methods in the right-hand sidebar of this page. These include UDC's listserv, e-mail & RSS subscriptions for UDC blog posts, and our Facebook & Twitter pages. A dedicated conference website is coming soon.

All the best,
