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

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.
