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?

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?

communication practices in the region?
