We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the forthcoming
international conference entitled "Media, Polis, Agora: Journalism &
Communication in the Digital Era". The conference is organized jointly
by the *Advanced Media Institute*, the *Open University (Cyprus) *and
the *Laboratoire d' Études et de Recherches Appliquées en Sciences
Sociales, Université de Toulouse (France)*, in Thessaloniki Greece. 

This interdisciplinary conference aims to bring together scholars,
professionals and practitioners from diverse fields -- including
journalism studies, media and communication studies, political
communication, sociology, critical humanities, policy and governance
studies, technology studies, and cultural analysis-- to discuss the
dynamic and continuous pivotal interplay of politics (polis), journalism
and communication (media) and the public sphere (agora). The conference
will further discuss the challenges that the advancement in digital
journalism, ethics and content creation, mediated public discourse, new
media and positions, as well as mediated political, public and civic
action brings to those three spheres. We welcome theoretical,
methodological and empirical submissions, case studies, and comparative
work from all over the world. 

/_Equally important, the conference seeks to build bridges between
academia and the world of journalistic, media and political practice. 

Thus, we welcome Laboratories, Workshops and Seminars to demonstrate
innovative projects, discuss ideas and share best-practices regarding
the themes of the Conference._/ 

We call for potential speakers to submit a *500-word abstract *in
