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)

http://www.mujournalism-revitalizingconcepts.com/

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
(_ResearchConference /at/ missouri.edu)
<mailto:(ResearchConference /at/ missouri.edu)>_ by */15 July 2016/*. Notice of
acceptance will be provided by 1 August 2016. Full papers in English of

will be due by 1 January 2017.
