Conference Theme:

Levels of political participation through the mainstream media, and 
participation of the public via media production, have been historically 
low due to the oligopolic structures of the media markets and their 
centralized models of governance and decision-making.


Although new media have been formed within the very same policy process 
and capitalistic structure, their accessibility and user-friendliness 
has opened up new ways of interaction and participation in the 
mainstream media, as well as the development of community-based and 
alternative media


Instead of focusing only on the dark sides of the new structures of 
national, international and global media markets, namely the issues 
related to the global political economy and the digital divide, the ‘New 
Media and Participation’ conference aims to provide a space to discuss 
the opportunities and the challenges of audience’s involvement, and 
citizen’s engagement, with media and politics.


More specifically, the main subjects of the conference will include, but 
are by no means limited to the following:


- political theory, old media, new media and participation

- audience research and new media: new methodological horizons

- networked journalism and public involvement

- cross-media production and ‘produsers’

- private and public spheres and civic engagement

- citizenship, civil society and participation

- media literacy and democratic agency

- citizens’ voice, citizens’ media
