Goodbye for Now

I wanted to inform any readers of this blog that I am putting it on the shelf for awhile. I've enjoyed contributing to it over the years, but several circumstances have changed. In particular:

1) Howard Schlossberg has taken over as editor of the Journal of Sports Media. Since he has his own blog it seems to be working at cross purposes to keep this one going. (A reminder also that if you want to submit to JSM, please send your inquiries to Howard at Hbssports@aol.com ).

2) Most importantly, other things are occupying my time and interest. If you want to talk to me about something like this, I'll talk all day.

Before I go, I do want to mention that you need to continue to support the Sports Communication Interest group within AEJMC. At the recent AEJMC convention in St. Louis, Pam Laucella of Indiana (plaucell@iu.edu) was named Chair and I was named Vice Chair. The Vice Chair is in charge of programming for next year's convention, so if you have any ideas for panels, presentations, etc., let me know.

I'll check in from time to time, but don't know for sure when (or if) I'll be back. But as always, you know where to find me if you need to (bschultz@olemiss.edu)
