>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The World Association of Newspapers (WAN) is calling for nominations for its 2000 Golden Pen of Freedom. The annual award is presented "in recognition of the outstanding action, in writing or deed, of an individual, a group or an institution in the cause of press freedom." The 1999 winner is Iranian journalist Faraj Sarkuhi, who now lives in exile in Germany after being released from prison in 1998. The rules for the nominations for the Golden Pen state that freedom of the press should be "taken in the general sense of freedom of expression" but also stipulate that the action in favour of press freedom for which the award is made must have been undertaken for "the benefit of all and not for the sole benefit of a person who would later refuse this same freedom to the expression of opinions different from his own." Please send all nominations to the WAN Secretariat by 23 August 1999 supported by the fullest possible details and documentation. Address them to Anne-Marie Stott, Policy Advisor at WAN, 25, rue d'Astorg, 75008 Paris, France; Tel: +33 1 47 42 85 00; Fax: +33 1 47 42 49 48; E-mail: a.stott@wan.asso.fr.

I'm editing a new journal for Sage Publications, called Television & New Media. Its focus is textual analysis, political economy, cultural history, policy advocacy, and audience ethonography--a television studies/cultural studies/media studies approach to the subject. The first issue will be out in March 2000. Associate editors are Herman Gray, John Hartley, and Lynn Spigel. The average issue of T&NM will include an 'In Focus' segment for papers that can loosely be grouped together, as well as two segments designed for a rapid response to new policy, textual, and other matters (an 'Editorial' and a 'Prime Time' section) where the editor and other scholars will engage with critical issues of the day. In addition, each issue will feature book reviews. The overall shape is: a) Editorial b) In Focus c) Book Reviews d) Prime Time There will be some theme issues (the past, present, and future of studying TV; digitalisation; active audiences; cable and satellite issues; pedagogy; interdisciplinary matters; globalisation; race, gender, class, and nation). We want papers in English, using Harvard-style reference, submitted with three hard copies and an IBM-compatible disk. No electronic submission, though email inquiries are welcome. For 'In Focus,' papers may be up to 8000 words. For 'Prime Time,' they should be no longer than 25000 words. The address for submissions follows my signature.

Films only appear in the database if the person submitting the work gave such permission on the entry form. We plan to add more films from YIDFF '99 (taking place this October 19-25 in Yamagata, Japan) in due time. It is our hope that this database will assist a wide variety of individuals and organizations studying, producing, and programming documentary cinema. The database is searchable on-line, although searches are currently limited only to the title, director's name, country, and keyword for the synopsis field. When visiting the database, please also check out information on this year's festival as well as the other features of the site, including the full text of our journal, DOCUMENTARY BOX. Aaron Gerow YIDFF Editor, Documentary Box I stumbled upon the YIDFF DOCUMENTARY DATABASE before this public announcement and have already had occassion to use it. For anyone programming documentary, it promises to be a fantastic resource. Figuring out sources is always an enormous hassle. And this one even has cut-and-paste-able synopses to pillage.
