1. Conference subject
Over the last two decades, much of the research on and public conversation about journalism has focused on the idea of ?change?. An impressive body of scholarship has scrutinized the transformations of news production in relation to digital technologies. As the various changes of journalism have been researched intensely, we now need to shift our focus to the various features of the emerging media landscape, with all its nuances in different spheres (content, structure of media organisations, professional values, business models, audiences, etc.). ?Diversity? is probably the word that best characterizes this new and complex media landscape. In their attempt to meet the challenges of a new technological environment and the changing demands from a more active audience, media organisations have adopted a diversity of approaches. At the same time, the professional values of journalists are shifting from traditional profiles to new ones. This growing diversity may be found in many aspects, including news content and their storytelling forms, the structures of media ownership, the profile and role of audiences.

The goal of this conference is therefore to address the concept of diversity related to contemporary journalism in a comprehensive and international way. More precisely, the conference aims to answer questions like the following ones:

- What are the signs of diversity in the emerging journalism(s)? More specifically, what are the indicators of diversity when the subject is studied from different perspectives (economy, history, sociology, etc.)? - Is this diversity more evident in some specific spheres of journalism? What are the fields in which diversity is specially growing, and how is this process taking place? Are there areas of news production that are not evolving towards greater diversity? - How should academic research address this multifaceted media environment? What methodologies may be useful in order to better study journalism?s diversity?

Taking as a broad basis at least one of these questions, researchers are invited to submit proposals on the topics below:

- diversity of journalisms (journalistic practices, journalistic genres, journalistic values): public, citizen, online, tabloid, routine, enterprise journalism, TV, radio, print; also factual and background/analysis; - diversity of journalists: professional vs. amateur; gender/sexual orientation, age, religion or belief, ethnicity; education; role conceptions; personal values; - diversity of media organisations: traditional organisations, networks, convergent structures, ?crowdsourcing?; - diversity of journalistic content: storytelling forms, genres, sources and frames; - diversity of users/audiences, and their relationship with structural, market, policy conditions;
- diversity of media ownership and business models;
- diversity of journalism education programmes.
