Mike Slater and Nori Commello Receive Top Paper Award at ICA

Congratulations to Mike Slater (SBS Distinguished Professor) and Nori Commello (Ph.D. student) for their Top Three Paper in the Health Communication Division at ICA this year. Their paper is entitled “Issue Concern and Risk Judgments as Mediators of News Influence on Support for Alcohol Control Policies.”

Note: That’s at least three years in a row where an OSU health communication faculty has had a Top Three Paper at a national or international conference (Prabu David had one at ICA in 2006, Don Cegala had one at NCA in 2005, and I had one at both NCA and ICA in 2005). We’ve also had a nice streak of Top Student Papers in Health Com (Kellie Carlyle got a Top Student Paper at ICA in 2005, and Catherine Goodall received the Top Student-lead paper at ICA in 2006 coauthored with Dr. Osei Appiah). Great work everyone! And thanks to Mike and Nori for continuing this impressive streak!
