[ecrea] cfp Journalism and Communication Education

Thu Feb 13 17:25:27 GMT 2014



In place of this year's teachers conference in November, EJTA would like to encourage members to submit an abstract to this conference in Lisbon, Portugal for consideration in a special panel. Please note the deadline is February 28th - just a couple of weeks away.



Journalism and Communication Education is a new Temporary Working Group of the European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA). They have invited paper proposals for the TWG’s official launch panel at the ECC2014, 12th-15th November 2014, in Lisbon.


Rationale and further information from the organisers:

Today, the development of communication technologies and the mediatization of society have a profound impact on professional media work. Educational institutions are faced with the important task of following the ongoing changes in the media markets in order to make informed decisions for providing and maintaining a high standard of education. These changes demand that we constantly rethink education for media professionals, as well as media competencies development and education for audiences. Unfortunately, educational systems evolve at slower speed than the field itself.

At the same time, there is still a lack of theoretical concepts and empirical studies regarding the development, change and adaptiveness of professional media education. Educational issues are being treated within the realm and focus of different fields (journalism studies, public relations, advertising research, educational science, …) but rarely as a topic in itself that integrates the diverse angles. The aim of the new ECREA Journalism and Communication Education TWG is to foster the relationship between journalism and communication education institutions in Europe in order to advance communication and exchange in higher and continuing education research and practice. Its goal is to provide a platform for researchers and educators interested in advancing our theoretical, empirical and practical understanding of media education, both for media professionals and audiences in mediatized societies.

We invite paper proposals that cover the main themes below:

* Comparative research on European media education systems
* Historical development of media educational systems
* Media change and media education
› e.g. the role of ‘big data’, surveillance society and privacy issues
› e.g. teaching new media skills
› e.g. shifts in 21st century role perceptions of students, scholars and professionals
› e.g. blurring lines between information professions
* Innovation in the curricula of journalism schools and media education programs › e.g. flipping the class room, teaching hospitals, blended learning, MOOCs and social media learning.
* Teaching ethics in journalism, PR and advertising education
* Teaching entrepreneurial journalism and self-branding
* Educating ‘reflective practicioners’
* Aspects of cooperation between education and the professional field, reflecting gaps between theory and practice * Media competence training and education, both in the realm of professional/higher education and secondary education/pedagogy
* Quality management in journalism and communication education
* Best practice in journalism and communication education
* Higher education, vocational training and lifelong learning: organizational approaches to media education
* Education management
