* "The RRR Round Tables" (RRRT). The RRRT is named after the instigator of ESN and unconditional supporter of emerging scholars Professor Ramona R. Rush, professor emerita at the University of Kentucky. The RRRT continues JSN’s focus on academic exchange started at the 1999 Leipzig conference with a roundtable discussion chaired by Dr. Rush and including past IAMCR president Hamid Mowlana and then International Communications Section Chair Abbas Malek, and was made possible by the generous support of the Leipzig conference organizers.

The first session focused on Dr. Rush's research areas of international communication, women and diversity, and included presentations on media and multiculturalism, Al-Jazeera's role in Middle Eastern public discourse, Unibomber and Nailbomber coverage in the UK and the US, and Western media rhetoric on Africa. The well-presented papers sparked compelling discussion about international media as they relate to issues of power, media effects, and cultural representation.

This on-going roundtable focuses on academic approaches to international communication.
