Wed Aug 26 12:50:05 GMT 2009
Local and Regional Media in the democracy and civil society shaping process
Organisers: University of Opole; The Foundation of Nowa Ruda Land
To cooperation were asked: University of Opava; University of Hradec Kralove
Time: Thursday - November 19th 2009 - Friday
-November 20th 2009; Place: Nowa Ruda
It is an interdisciplinary conference where both
scholars (e.g. sociologists; political/media
scientists) and media/PR workers will be
discussing the cultural and political dimensions
of democracy in the context of local and regional
media perspective and a more and more globalized media context.
I. Main purposes of the conference
The aim of this conference is to focus on three main topics:
1) The condition of democracy in local public
spheres in the light of globalisation and
concentration of media power and in the light of
the role of media in sustaining and developing
democracy, democratic dialogue and a critical
attitude towards the political system and other
powerful players on the public scene. The
question of the balance between private,
commercial media and public service media and the
role of a proactive media policy and measures in
general to ensure media independence and media pluralism.
2) The existence of or the need for a public
sphere and the role of the media in creating a
democratic public sphere and civil society. This
calls for a discussion of how local society
matters are treated in the national media or
trans-national media (TV, newspapers, Internet
etc). A number of already substantially developed
comparative, trans-national studies provide an
empirical basis for a consideration of main
results and political and media implications of this development.
3) The role of media and media policy in
mediating and sustaining the diversity. Diversity
of national and ethnical cultures is
simultaneously under influence from other
cultures in the still stronger globalisation of
cultures. The conference aims at bringing
together both theoretical researchers from
humanities, social sciences and practising
media/PR workers to combine the discussion of
central theories theoretical concepts for the
understanding of media, democracy
and culture as well as governing political
principles with empirical data and analytical
studies of media culture and democracy.
Furthermore the conference wants to make room for
panel discussions where representatives of
practical media and politics can exchange views with researchers.
The conference will result in a publication,
based on selected contributions from the participants.

1. Media, Power, Culture and Democracy.
2. The State of Democracy and Media at the local level.
