We're pleased to announce that our new ECREA Summer School book is out.

Public Sphere" (Bremen: edition lumière). It is edited by Leif Kramp, 
Nico Carpentier, Andreas Hepp, Richard Kilborn, Risto Kunelius, Hannu 
Nieminen, Ilija Tomanic, Ebba Sundin and Tobias Olsson.

The main focus of “Journalism, Representation and the Public Sphere” is

change? This volume consists of the intellectual work of the 2014 
European Media and Communication Doctoral Summer School, organized in 
cooperation with the European Communication Research and Education 
Association (ECREA) at the ZeMKI, the Centre for Media, Communication 
and Information Research of the University of Bremen, Germany. The 
chapters cover relevant research topics, structured into four sections: 
“Journalism and the News Media”, “Representation and Everyday Life”, 
“Public Sphere, Space and Politics”, “Rethinking Media Studies” and 
“Academic Practice”.

Contributors are (in alphabetical order): Bertrand Cabedoche, Nico 
Carpentier, Andreas Hepp, François Heinderyckx, Magnus Hoem Iversen, 
Leif Kramp, Katrin Laas-Mikko, Maria Murumaa-Mengel, Georgina Newton, 
Hannu Nieminen, Alexandra Polownkikow, Pille Pruulmann-Vengerfeldt, 
Irena Reifová, Maria Schreiber, Saiona Stoian, Ebba Sundin, Simone 
Tosoni and Eimante Zolubiene. The book additionally contains abstracts
