[ecrea] Call For Papers News and Radio Journalism in the Digital Age

International Conference Call For Papers
News and Radio Journalism in the Digital Age
Strasbourg (France), 20 and 21 March 2014
!!! DEADLINE OF THE CALL FOR PAPERS HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL NOVEMBER 30, 
2013 !!!


    The French speaking Radio studies Network, Groupe de Recherches et 
d'Études sur la Radio (GRER), is organising its seventh international 
conference. Following on from conferences at Bordeaux (2001 and 2004), 
Lyon (2006), Paris (2009 and 2011), and Bruxelles (2010), it will take 
place at the University of Strasbourg on the 20th and 21st March 2014.

An international call for papers has been launched, focused on the 
issues and approaches described below.

    Radio broadcasting, in particular, does not seem to be at risk of 
disappearing in the short term. Radio remains an essential element 
within the practice and systems of journalism, on a daily basis, in 
exceptional circumstances or in times of crisis. The credibility of 
radio news remains very high, and higher than other media. On the other 
hand several changes are missing from its evolution. At this conference 
several questions will be asked: how has the production of radio news 
become integrated with the digital domain? Have those people connected 
with news production changed or do they want to change? Has the 
professional identity of radio journalists changed? Is media content 
different? How do people hear news on the radio now, and how will people 
hear it in the future?
With the development of the internet, our media landscape is undergoing 
a transformation. This conference will study the capacity of radio to 
inform citizens in contemporary societies. From its heritage to current 
practice, and through its evolution, we will ask the question: can radio 
remain an important news medium in the digital age.

The conference will focus its woks on two main themes:
    - Theme 1. Professional practice and radio news: issues and evolutions
    - Theme 2. Content and its uses: the extension of radio contexts

    As with previous events run by GRER, a range of academic 
perspectives is expected, including: communication studies, journalism 
studies, history, geography, economy, psychology, sociology, political 
science, philosophy, law, ethnology, language studies and more. Papers 
from practitioners are also welcome.
