As part of an effort to re-brand and branch out to new members, the Media and Communication Geography Specialty Group is planning on holding a series of sessions at the 2017 annual meeting in Boston. We will be hosting a keynote address as well as a panel on the potential of media and communications geographies in light of the increasingly digital era we find ourselves in. We will also be sponsoring a student paper competition.

We hope that you, as members of this specialty group, will help to make the AAG in Boston a success! Therefore, we are asking that if anyone has proposed sessions on media and communication topics, please send in the cfps for Media and Communication sponsorship. The board is also happy to help in soliciting for papers to fill your proposed sessions.
