[ecrea] Call for Papers! Special issue of "Media Transformations"

Thu Aug 29 05:34:46 GMT 2013




The academic journal of media and journalism studies “Media Transformations” is announcing Call for Papers for the special issue “Liquidity, Fragmentation, and Individualization in the Mediascape: Meeting the Challenges of Journalism, Media, and Communications Change in Central and Eastern Europe” which will be published in December 2013.

The core theme of this issue puts a strong emphasis on changing roles, missions and functions of contemporary media in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). It applies a very broad (historical, comparative, case-based analysis, media use analysis, and others) perspective and raises questions about effects and severe social and cultural consequences of media change. By aiming to tackle all these questions the theme seeks to address political and social histories of CEE media development and change. Briefly, it moves around the main idea that CEE countries and their media and communications could be studied as laboratories of modern life where all contemporary controversies are identied and tested. Articles submitted are expected to cover a broad spectrum of ideas related to ongoing changes and transformations as well as emerging challenges that contemporary journalism and media professionals, scholars, policy makers need to address in diverse political and cultural contexts.

Submission guidelines
If you are interested in this call, please send the full manuscript to (media /at/ pmdf.vdu.lt) before September 30, 2013. Guidelines for preparing manuscripts are available online: http://www.mediatransformations.eu/Guidelines-for-authors.
