Conference – 17-18 February 2017, in Brussels, Belgium

Co-sponsored by the University of Missouri School of Journalism and 
Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU)

Digitization, globalization, economic instability, individualization and 
other disruptions are posing conceptual challenges to Mass Communication 
in a variety of areas including Journalism Studies, Political 
Communication, Health Communication and Strategic Communication.  Terms 
such as /audience/, /journalist/, and even /mass communication, /as 
currently conceptualized/, /may no longer capture communication 
phenomena in the ways they once did.

This conference seeks conceptual papers that revisit an array of concepts:


1) Concepts that transcend mass communication, but nonetheless have 
particular bearing on the field; for example, concepts such as agency, 
autonomy, community, culture, democracy, hegemony, identity, 
interaction, memory, participation, representation, or public.


2) Concepts that are central to mass communication, including the 
concept of mass communication itself. Other concepts might include 
audience, channel, feedback, framing, information-seeking, media, or 
transmission.


3) Concepts that are specific to areas within mass communication. For 
example, health equity, information subsidy, photojournalism, public 
diplomacy, or public interest.

Papers that address concepts that transcend mass communication, should 
nevertheless focus on the relevance of those concepts for the field. 
Papers that address concepts from areas within mass communication should 
still point to their relevance for the broader field.

This conference is sponsored by the University of Missouri School of 
Journalism and Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU). The 
conference will be held 17-18 February 2017, in Brussels, Belgium.

A 400-500 word English-language abstract should be submitted to
