[ecrea] Call for papers: Media and Freedom of Speech

Academic journal of journalism and media studies “Journalism Research” 
is announcing Call for Papers for the special issue “Media and Freedom 
of Speech: Controversies and Social Clashes”. The volume is going to be 
published in February, 2014 (volume date 2013).


 The core theme of this issue puts a strong emphasis on major 
structural, technological, professional and economic changes of 
mainstream media landscape due to the current economic crisis and 
austerity measures that were introduced during the period. The questions 
of how public communication has been affected and what are consequences 
of the current changes for broader social context and working 
democracies remain under-theorized. By aiming to tackle all these 
questions the theme seeks to address political and social considerations 
of worldwide media development and change.


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.
