*Conference description*: The conference will seek to highlight the
connections between austerity and the media and, in particular, to
highlight the role of communications in fostering anti-austerity
movements. We invite papers that illustrate how:

  * Media outlets have helped to construct contemporary narratives of
    austerity
  * Mainstream media have related to discourses of austerity
  * Non-mainstream media have attempted to counter austerity narratives
  * Activists and campaigners have sought to mobilise against both media
    and political elites in order to press for media reform, to secure
    democratic gains and to protect public spaces.

*Location*: The preconference will be held at Goldsmiths, University of
London

*Date and time*: Saturday 23 July 2016. 10:00 - 17:00
