[ecrea] The 8th International Media Readings in Moscow "Mass Media and Communications – 2016”

The deadline for The 8th International Media Readings in Moscow "Mass 
Media and Communications – 2016” submission has been extended to 
*September 30^th , 2016*. We invite you to take part in the event, 
organized by the Faculty of Journalism, Lomonosov Moscow State University.
The topic of the conference is "Expanding Media Frontiers in the XXI 
century: The Impact of Digitalization upon Media Environment".

The following questions are going to be discussed:

HOW HAVE MEDIA SYSTEMS OF DIFFERENT COUNTRIES CHANGED IN THE COURSE OF 
THE XX-XXI CENTURIES? WHAT ARE THE REASONS FOR THAT?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the ‘homogenization’ trend 
for national cultures, identities, and subsequently for national media 
markets?

WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF TRADITIONAL PRINT MEDIA (NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES, 
BOOKS) IN THE AGE OF DIGITALIZATION?

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.)?

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?
