*MEDIA ACCOUNTABILITY: **BETWEEN TRADITION AND INNOVATION*

Kus (University of Wroclaw, Poland)


CALL FOR PAPERS
Rapid technological development and the spread of new media platforms 
along with structural changes in the media landscape have raised the 
topicality and urgency of the issues of media accountability. The role 
of traditional media accountability instruments and practices, such as 
press councils and codes of journalistic conduct is changing. At the 
same time new practices and instruments, including user generated 
content and citizen journalism have emerged in the online space, 
allowing users to take an active part in the debate on the performance 
of media organizations today.

In the next issue of “Central European Journal of Communication” we seek 
to analyse full range of topics related to media accountability, both in 
the context of traditional and innovative forms. Special emphasis will 
be put on the usage of new technologies, development of self-regulation 
as well as changing roles of stakeholders involved in the processes of 
media accountability.

What are the political, professional and public ‘frames’ of media 
accountability in different media systems? What are the new problems 
with media accountability in the age of the Internet? What new 
instruments of accountability have emerged and how can they make media 
organisations more accountable to the public? What are the perspectives 
for the future?
