FLOWTV: CALL FOR PAPERS
Hockey Mom or Sarah Barracuda? Addressing the Media Coverage of Sarah Palin
In light of the overwhelming surge of discourse following John McCain's selection of Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential running mate, the editors of FlowTV invite submissions dealing with the media treatment, reaction, and handling
of Gov. Palin as a politician, a woman, a "Hockey Mom," a wife, an Alaskan, and a Conservative. We hope the following quotes serve as a jumping off point - what we view as some of the most poignant examples of the recent media treatment - but we encourage submissions to look to viral video, spoofs, celebrations, editorials, Facebook status updates, blog entries, and myriad other sources of coverage.
Submissions should be between 1000-1500 words. Because of the topicality of the particular subject, we welcome submissions as soon as possible, and no later thanSeptember 30th. While we seek neither diary entries nor diatribes, submissions need not be overly formal or academic, and we encourage the incorporation of images and video. Additionally, we encourage alternative perspectives from students,
non-Americans, bloggers, etc.
Please send submissions and inquiries to Anne Petersen
Co-Coordinating Editor
