[ecrea] The 8th International Media Readings in Moscow

Tue Mar 29 14:40:51 GMT 2016





On November 17-18, 2016 the Faculty of Journalism, Lomonosov Moscow
State University, is holding *The 8th International Media Readings in
Moscow "**Mass Media and Communications – 2016".*

The topic of the conference is /"Expanding Media Frontiers in the XXI
century: The Impact of Digitalization upon Media Environment"./

*General topics and questions for discussion:*

  * How have media systems of different countries changed in the course
    of the XX-XXI centuries? What are the reasons for that?
  * What is the future of traditional print media (newspapers,
    magazines, books) in the age of digitalization?
  * How important is the role of social, political, cultural and
    technological influences in transforming media systems across the
    world?
  * Do media systems of European, Asian, African, American or Australian
    countries still retain their national specifics, and if so, to what
    extent? How are these specific features reflected in print media,
    broadcasting and online media?
  * What are the advantages and disadvantages of the ‘homogenization’
    trend for national cultures, identities, and subsequently for
    national media markets?
  * Is there a need for a new classification of media systems across the
    world? If so, what criteria should be used to describe current state
    of media systems (political regimes, culture values, role of the
    state, professionalization of journalism, etc.)?

    Communication, Université libre de Bruxelles (Belgium)
