> questions we seek to address in this conference on research and practice.

> case studies, literature reviews, ethnographic studies and thought pieces

> information overload; political miscommunication and an ethics of the 
> public realm; uses of email (as recently highlighted in the Hutton 
> inquiry); implications of the web for establishing closer contact with 
> journalism sources and readers (OR: media sources and consumers): the 
> impact of the rise of bloggers and alternative news sites on media 
> standards; the epistemological effects of cyberspace; pedagogic 
> techniques in ethics and communication teaching; issues of stakeholderism
