Linda, a few items for the research certificate (I'm not sure if this will suffice; let me know). * My article (co-authored with Justin Lewis) "Moving Beyond the Vast Wasteland: Cultural Policy and Television in the U.S.," will appear in the debut issue of the journal Television and New Media (peer-reviewed, Sage), February 2000. (This is not on my FASIP application). * My Ph.D. dissertation was cited in two separate articles in the most recent issue of Critical Studies in Mass Communication (September 1999). * My book with Columbia U Press is moving ahead; I did new research at the Library of Congress, the Wisconsin State Historical Society, the Minnesota State Historical Society, and the National Public Broadcasting Archives in Washington DC expect to have finished my revisions by the early Spring. * Here's a quote from Pat Aufderheide, the reviewer on my book manuscript, in the letter she sent to the press, and which the press then sent to me: "I have been following Laurie Ouellette's work with great interest, respect and admiration for some time. As a journalist, as a scholar and as a social activist, she is truly exemplary. I imagine her moving into leadership roles in university, media and foundation life, and playing an important role as a public intellectual." ---- Screen-L is sponsored by the Telecommunication & Film Dept., the University of Alabama: http://www.tcf.ua.edu
