University of Texas to host online journalism conference

The University of Texas's 2005 International Symposium on Online Journalism Conference will take place April 8-9 in Austin, Texas. They are accepting research paper submissions for the event until Feb. 11. The first day will host panels from several online media outlets, while the second day will be devoted to presenting research projects. Those interested in submitting their academic papers for consideration should not submit one already published or presented at another conference; rather, the conference is looking for papers discussing original research in any area of online journalism and media.
