CALL FOR PAPERS

Dear colleagues

We are very pleased to announce that the call for papers for the third
edition of the conference Media and Governancein Latin America *is now
open*. *Abstracts are due February 28.*

The conference will be hosted by the School of Media and Communications
of the *University of Leeds* and will take place 25-26 July as a
*pre-conference to the IAMCR 2016*.

We are aiming to congregate a wide range of academics interested in the
intersections between media, communications, governance and development
in the region to examine questions such as the following:

  * In which ways media actors and media technologies are changing
    relationship between the state, the private sector, civil society
    and the media?
  * What is the role of the media in promoting democratic governance and
    sustainable development?
  * What are the main changes in the formation, interaction and
    evolution of publics/audiences in the new mediaenvironment?
  * What sort of relationships are emerging from the crossroads between
    traditional and non-traditional mediaactors?
  * How are media reforms strengthening democratic governance across the
    region?
  * To what extent do public and private media reproduce populist and
    polarising discourses?
  * To what extent are digital and community media challenging
    traditional hegemonic information flows?
  * Are new power imbalances emerging as a result of the spread of new
    technologies in the region?
  * What patterns of governance are shaping Latin American media systems?
  * What patterns of change and resilience can we find in political
    communication practices in the region?

We are delighted to have confirmed the attendance of a superb line-up of
guest speakers, including* Sallie Hughes (University of Miami), Claudia
Mellado (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso) and Carolina
