Titles and abstracts for papers (250 words max) are invited by 22nd 
December 2010 and should be submitted online at:
http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/jomec/conference/futureofjournalism/submission/
Papers should address one of the following five key questions, which 
constitute the conference themes:

1.      Journalism practice and changing technologies - how are 
developments in media technologies across all platforms shaping a new 
journalism practice, especially novel routines for news reporting 
which include citizen journalism, crowdfunding/sourcing, social 
networking sites and (micro) blogging?
2.      Global journalism developments - how are these changes 
unravelling in different national settings with their distinctive 
journalism cultures, audiences, media structures and histories?
3.      Business models and funding journalism - what are the 
implications of these changes for the revenues traditionally 
available to fund journalism and what business models are emerging 
(for example the use of pay walls) to resource newly emerging forms 
of journalism?
4.      Journalism professionalism - what are the consequences of 
these developments for the education, training and employment of 
journalists, as well as journalists' changing perceptions of their 
professional roles and identity?
5.      Journalism, democracy and ethics - in what ways do these 
changes impact on journalism's wider connections with the political 
and democratic life of communities locally, regionally, nationally 
and internationally?
