7th Hispanic/Latino Media & Marketing International Conference
Texas Tech University & U.T. Arlington, Co-Hosts
February 21-23, 2019 in Arlington, Texas
Culture, Media & Measurement
Culture, identity, and language continue to wield considerable influence in Hispanic/Latino-oriented media and marketing even as data capture and advanced analytical techniques develop apace in media industries. The 7th Hispanic/Latino Media & Marketing International Conference will bring together scholars, media industry professionals, and students to examine these issues and other important topics. This biennial conference, which has its foundational roots in Texas, will be co-hosted by the College of Media & Communication at Texas Tech University and the Department of Communication at the University of Texas at Arlington.
Three distinctive characteristics of this conference include: active participation by professionals working in Hispanic/Latino media, contributions from U.S.-based and international scholars, and involvement by students from various universities. These legacies will be sustained with panels and keynote addresses featuring industry professionals, participation by diverse researchers, and special panels, workshops, and career advising sessions for student attendees.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
Competitive Papers
Competitive papers related to the conference theme, broadly construed, must include the following, in a single Word-format file:
1. A cover page including title, all authors’ institutional affiliations, email address and telephone numbers.
2. A 150-word abstract including the paper title.
3. The paper, not exceeding 20 double-spaced pages, excluding tables, figures, notes, and references. This length assumes a font no smaller than 12 points (Times New Roman preferred) and at least one-inch margins. Papers should follow the guidelines of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition). As paper selection will follow a blind review process, the author(s) should not include identifying information in any area of the paper other than the cover page.
The top papers in faculty, student and professional categories will be recognized at the conference based on recommendations by the reviewers, and may be published in a future edition of the International Journal for Hispanic Media. All competitive papers that comply with the guidelines will be eligible for top paper awards.
Extended Abstracts
Extended abstracts related to the conference theme must provide a clear summary of the paper and its goals, including conceptualization, method, major findings and references. Abstracts should be 1000 to 1500 words in length, using a font no smaller than 12 points (Times New Roman preferred) and at least one-inch margins on double-spaced pages in a Word-format file. A cover page including title, all authors’ institutional affiliations, email addresses and telephone numbers must be included. No tables or figures should appear in extended abstracts, and they will not be considered for top paper recognition or for publication in the International Journal for Hispanic Media (which only publishes full papers).
