>on 24 April 2003
>
>Preliminary notice
>
>Proposals are invited for this symposium which will initiate discussion in
>two connected areas of journalism studies: how national cultures influence
>the roles of journalists and the nature and significance of the practices,
>or cultures, of journalism.
>
>This symposium will be of interest to those comparing the treatment of
>particular events by different national media; examining the different
>roles of journalists in different politics and societies; analyzing the
>impact of practices on specific subjects; investigating the relationships
>of journalism to other institutions, and doubtless to scholars looking at
>other aspects of journalism.
>
>There is currently intense interest in this theme in the UK, evidenced by
>media coverage and several conferences including one in December 2002 at
>Windsor Castle, but this may be the first academic response. Attendance
>needs to be restricted, so an early indication also from those wanting to
>take part, but not wishing to present a paper, is advisable.
>
>Those wanting to present papers should note that full papers will not be
>read. The intention is that they be made available, but that the
>proponents summarize the paper for discussion.
>
>Greg Dyke, Director General of the BBC, is expected to open the Symposium.
>There will be no attendance fee, but a charge will be made for
>refreshments.
>
>Academic staff at Goldsmiths College whose work relates to the theme of
>the symposium include Tim Crook, Prof James Curran, Dr Hugo de Burgh, Tony
