Fri Apr 10 11:45:00 GMT 2009



?Bolyai University Media Center & Journalism Department invite you to

Interdisciplinary New Media Studies International Conference May 21â??23 2009

Trajectories in Researching New Media Systems,
Eâ??business Management and Eâ??publishing

â??Call for Papersâ??
As the impact of new media grows each day, more and more young researchers approach this emerging field. There is a serious lack of coherent theoretical background fieldâ??wide and the fast development of the field has made it difficult to outline specific research methodology. The interdisciplinary nature of the field determines lack of unity in existing approaches towards new media research. In this context, this conference aims to provide researchers and other participants with both a coherent theoretical framework for general research in the field of new media. Also, some presentations will serve as starting points for debates meant to clarify known issues such as information reliability, content management and censorship, language and style on the Web and so on. Another important section of this conference deals with new media entrepreneurship, starting small and making it big on the new media market today with specific focus on online television, videoâ??sharing portals, online radios, blogs, advertising and research methodology to approach the study of their development and overall social, economical and cultural impact both in Western and Eastern European countries as well as globalâ??wide.
Deadline for submission of papers (draft): April 15 2009
