Journalism, Society and Politics in the Digital Media Era

Limassol, Cyprus - September 1 - 3, 2017

Keynote Speakers Nico Carpentier, Uppsala University, Sweden
                  Paul Mihailidis, Emerson College, U.S.A

We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the forthcoming 
international conference entitled “Journalism, Society and Politics in 
the Digital Media Era”. The conference is organised jointly by the 
Advanced Media Institute, the Open University (Cyprus), the Centre for 
the Study of Journalism, Culture and Community at Bournemouth University 
(UK), and the Laboratory of Research in New Economy and Development at 
University Hassan II Casablanca (Morocco), with the support of the 
Cyprus University of Technology in Limassol, Cyprus, at the premises of 
which the conference will be hosted.

This interdisciplinary conference aims to bring academics and 
professional journalists to discuss and compare the impact of technology 
on the relationship between journalism, politics and economics in terms 
of societies /communities. The conference will further discuss advances 
in digital journalism and its implications on news production, 
journalism practices, news sources, journalism content and consumption 
behaviour.

We are particularly interested in papers that examine the interplay 
between digital journalism and the political environments at various 
levels - from autocratic to democratising and democratic levels. The aim 
is to compile and contrast professional and academic perspectives on the 
normative roles and practices of digital journalism in varied contexts. 
We invite scholars from different disciplines, including media and 
communication studies, sociology, political science, economics, cultural 
studies, and anthropology to take part in the discussion. Amongst the 
aims of the conference is the publication of an edited volume, with 
selected contributions from its participants.

We call for potential speakers to submit a 300-word abstract in English 
or French, by Monday 27th February 2017. Submissions should include in a 
separate page the name of the author(s), their affiliation, e-mail 
address, paper title and a brief bio, and be emailed to 
abstracts at amiretreat2017.com. All abstracts will be peer reviewed.

Please, find the CFP and the conference poster attached hereto.
