ANZCA 2012 ADELAIDE: Communicating Change and Changing Communication in 
the 21st Century

Call for Paper
The Australian and New Zealand Communication Association (ANZCA), is a 
professional association for researchers, teachers, and practitioners in 
the diverse disciplines of media and communication in Australia and 
Aotearoa New Zealand. The annual conference is a major event in the 
ANZCA calendar, and attracts delegates from across the globe. The 
conference provides members with valuable professional development 
opportunities, including scholarly publication, networking and 
presentation, and learning about the latest national and international 
trends in media and communications research, teaching and learning. 
Research students are encouraged and supported to take advantage of 
formal and informal mentoring opportunities afforded by participation in 
the conference, especially the preconference research and postgraduate 
mentoring forum and other activities of the association.

The 2012 ANZCA Conference will be held in Adelaide at the picturesque 
North Terrace campuses of the Universities of Adelaide and the 
University of South Australia from 4-6 July 2012, with a pre-conference 
postgraduate research workshop on 3 July.
Conference Theme
When the Greek philosopher Heraclitus said that the world is in constant 
flux, and that opposites are intrinsically linked, the world did not 
understand him. But today we can confidently say that the only constant 
in our current global dispensation is change itself. We have witnessed 
dramatic changes since the World Wide Web became user friendly.

The pace of communication technology has ensured that we can no longer 
step into the same river twice. Our economic values have changed from 
landed assets to digital assets. We have witnessed changes from media 
consumers to ‘produsers’. We have witnessed changes in movies from 
Hollywood to Bollywood and from Bollywood to Nollywood. We have 
witnessed news making change from rich nations to poor nations and from 
the elite to ordinary citizens. We have witnessed and are still 
witnessing the effects of people power in the gulf region through the 
use of social media. We have become circumspect in defining our 
geopolitical and spatiotemporal spaces, especially as we witness the 
unfolding of new political landscapes and movements.

Shifting the post or posting the shift in Global events? The question is 
how have media and communication institutions been communicating these 
changes, and how have these changes affected the way media and 
communication operate in the 21st century. What other changes are we 
likely to witness in the near future? We are therefore interested in 
papers which explore the issue of change from different media and 
communication perspectives. For example, how has change affected public 
relations practices, or journalistic practices, or community and citizen 
media and, how have these media practices affected or influenced change?


Papers and abstracts addressing these issues should be submitted by 09 
March 2012 for the referred stream, and 20 April 2012 for the 
non-referred papers. However all abstracts are due by 09 March 2012. 
ANZCA conferences have the flexibility of two types of paper acceptance 
modes: the fully referred stream which conforms to Australian and NZ 
research publication guidelines, and a non-refereed stream. Some Stream 
Coordinators have developed individual calls for papers for their 
streams. Every referred paper undergoes double blind peer review 
processes and has the option to be published in the edited conference 
proceeding. Non-refereed conference papers are not published in the 
proceedings.

ANZCA conference publications use the APA referencing style. Papers are 
not limited to the listed streams. If your research falls outside any of 
the listed streams but fits within the conference theme, it will be 
considered under the open stream. Papers should not be more than 5000 
words in length. State whether you would want your paper to be refereed 
or not. The paper should include an abstract of not more than 300 words 
with your institutional affiliation. All papers and abstracts should be 
sent directly to the stream coordinators listed against each stream or 
to (anzca2012 /at/ unisa.edu.au) if the paper does not fall under any of the 
listed streams. Please note that all accepted abstracts will be 
published in the conference program while only fully referred papers 
will be published in the conference proceeding. If your paper does not 
fall under any of the listed streams it will be considered under the 
open stream.
