CALL FOR PAPERS

Day Symposium:

Media Diversity in Theory and Practice
Thursday February 2, 2012
Dublin City University (DCU)

Deadline: September 30 2011

The International Media, Interculturalism and Migration research cluster at DCU, together with the Journalism and Society working group, invites papers for a one-day symposium in February 2012. We are especially interested to hear from those with expertise in the areas of media diversity training and journalism education.
The symposium has two aims: firstly, to critically assess scholarly 
research to-date on diversity in the media, especially with regard to 
the experiences of individuals of migrant origin working in mainstream 
media organisations. Secondly, to examine if and to what extent 
diversity goals have been built into the recruitment and training 
policies and codes of ethics of mainstream media organisations. The 
symposium will conclude with a roundtable discussion involving academic 
researchers and industry professionals.
This symposium forms part of DCU's involvement in the MEDIVA project, 
which seeks to strengthen the capacity of media to reflect the 
increasing diversity of European societies and to foster better 
understandings of immigrant integration. For those interested to learn 
more about the project please visit

Please send 250 word abstract with a short biographical note (toneil.oboyle /at/ dcu.ie)  <mailto:(neil.oboyle /at/ dcu.ie)>
