Ethnic/Racial Minorities’ Participation in AEJMC: How Much and What Type of
Progress?. Journalism & Mass Communication Educator, 68(3),

This paper provides an assessment of the diversity of the
leadership positions of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass
Communication (AEJMC) from 2007 to 2011. While numerous studies have analyzed
AEJMC’s membership demographics, gender, and scholarship production, there have
been few investigations regarding people of color in leadership positions.
Findings indicate little progress for people of color has been made in the past
five years. Ideally, the educational institutions and academic organizations
most responsible for preparing the next generation of media scholars as well as
the professionals who produce the content and manage the media catering to the
changing population patterns would be at the forefront of diversity in their
own leadership. This is especially so for academic organizations, which through
journal publications, conference presentations, and various awards, can often
have a direct influence on the research emphases and curricular direction of
programs nationally. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
