    Support SNCR’s Fellowship Program


    The Society for New Communications Research Fellowship is a year-long, volunteer-based program. SNCR issues a call for applications once a year in December. All futurists, scholars, technologists, business leaders, professional communicators and members of the media from around the globe are invited to apply. Those who are selected collaborate with the other SNCR Fellows on original research and educational programs. The fellowship program is highly competitive. A maximum of 12 new Fellows are accepted each year.

    The Society for New Communications Research Foundation is a global nonprofit 501(c)(3) research and education institution dedicated to the advanced study of the latest developments in new media and communications, and their effect on traditional media and business models, communications, culture and society.

    SNCR is dedicated to creating a bridge between the academic and theoretical pursuit of these topics and the pragmatic implementation of new media and communications tools and methodologies. The Society’s Fellows include a leading group of futurists, scholars, business leaders, professional communicators, members of the media and technologists from around the globe – all collaborating together on research initiatives, educational offerings and the establishment of best practices. To continually build our knowledge and research base, we are always seeking to build an international virtual community of individuals and organizations who are involved and interested in new communications technology.

    In 2009 the SNCR Fellows are focusing on:

    * Social media metrics and measurement (best practices and standards);
    * Adoption of Web 2.0 tools and technologies by small businesses;
    * Enterprise adoption of Web 2.0 tools and technologies (including
    “Behind the Firewall” initiatives)
    * Adoption of social media by the higher education sector
    * New developments in mobile media;
    * New business models for news organizations
    * Shifts in business and economic behavior resulting from new
