It is our honor to invite you to the first edition of the Prague Media
Point conference series, which will address the influence of
authoritarianism and populism on the development of the media and
communication industries. From November 12-14, 2015, *Populism,
authoritarianism, and the media: The age of mediocracy and mediacracy*
will feature panel and poster presentations focused on examining the
transformation of media in the age when information is being used and
abused by authoritarian rulers. For updates on speakers please follow
the conference website
<http://toleducation.org/courses/populism-authoritarianism-media-conference/>.

*The Prague Media Point*project evolved from the 25 Years After
conference <http://toleducation.org/courses/25-years-after/>, which took 
place in 2014 and focused on the transformation of the media industries 
in Central and Eastern Europe since the fall of the Berlin Wall. It will 
offer a series of annual academic conferences in Prague, which will 
bring together the relevant actors involved in the process, including 
academics, media practitioners, political analysts, and representatives 
of NGOs.

The call for papers
