Statement

In my capacity as Chair of the International Communication section, I have been a member of the International Council (IC) of IAMCR for the last eight years, and I would like to continue my involvement with the IC through election now, as my period as Chair ends this year. This Council is important; it reflects the diversity and richness of the IAMCR through a strong diversity of representation of all its members. The IC keeps us together and updated through the issues that we discuss, which very often demand our continuous attention, and it also provides us with the opportunity of seeing our appreciated colleagues regularly, even when this is online. If I am elected and therefore continue as an IC member, my attendance to the meetings will remain a constant, as it has been to this day, and I will also continue to be involved in the open, friendly discussion of the issues of our IC meetings, which also help define the global and inclusive character of the IAMCR.

Nominated by:

Lars Nord, Professor Political Communication, Mid Sweden University

Thomas Hanitzsch, Institut für Kommunikationswissenschaft und Medienforschung, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Germany:

As a member of IAMCR I take the liberty of nominating Dr. Karen Arriaza Ibarra (Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain) for the position of IAMCR Vice President and for the associations International Council in the upcoming association-wide election. In my view, given her excellent standing in the discipline, long-standing commitment to IAMCR, and international experience as a leader in the field, Dr. Arriaza is well suited for this position.
