Objectives
The ECREA mailing list is a free (academic) information service to the academic community. As a free service, organised on a voluntary basis, ECREA members and non-members alike are welcomed to subscribe to this information resource (or not). Its exclusive objective is to disseminate academic information on communication and media studies related conferences, vacancies, and publications. ECREA, the mailing list host institution and the mailing list manager are not responsible for the material that is distributed, or for the consequences its distribution may have.
Posting on the list
Information can be posted on the ECREA mailing list by sending it to the list manager. Some delays may occur, as postings have to be approved by the list manager (in order to check whether they are in line with the objectives of the mailing list).
Please respect the following requirements on format and content:
- messages with html-formatting, pictures, or attachments cannot be posted. Always make sure that the message sent is a plain text version, in the body of the email.
For a definition, see the Wikipedia entry on plain text.
- the working language of the ECREA mailing list is English. Bi- or multilangual messages are of course welcome, as long as there is an English version included.
- in order to avoid too much traffic on the mailing list, only two messages on the same event are allowed.
- moreover, events should have a duration of at least one full day (to allow for international travel).
Keep in mind that the ECREA list is not a substitute for national emailing lists.
Subscribing and unsubscribing
You can subscribe to the ECREA mailing list by writing your email address in the box and click "Subscribe". If you later want to unsubscribe, you must reenter your email address and click "Unsubscribe".
Because of persistent problems with yahoo.com, subscription with a yahoo.com email address is no longer allowed.
Being subscribed to the ECREA mailing list does not automatically result in an ECREA membership.
In case you encounter problems, please contact ECREA's mailing list manager Nico Carpentier at nico.carpentier@vub.ac.be.
