[ecrea] CMDS Summer School on “Media Capture: The Relationship Between Power, Media Freedom and Advocacy”

Sat Jan 07 09:38:03 GMT 2017





Apply to the CMDS Summer School on “Media Capture: The Relationship Between Power, Media Freedom and Advocacy”

Arguably, the biggest challenge to media freedom and independent journalism today is the systemic political corruption in which private interests shape the decision-making process in state bodies and institutions. Increasingly, a model of captive, politically instrumentalized news media financed by owners, corporations, social and political groups, or governments, is becoming dominant in most parts of the world. This has severe consequences on independent media and journalism.

The aim of the 2017 summer course of the Center for Media, Data and Society https://cmds.ceu.edu/ at the School of Public Policy of Central European University https://www.ceu.edu/ to be held**26 June - 7 July, 2017 at Central European University, Budapest, Hungary is to provide participants (researchers, journalists, activists, media practitioners, policymakers, advocates) with in-depth understanding of the nature of these new power relations and how they influence media and journalism; and with advocacy training to help them play a role in campaigning for progressive media policy and laws in their countries. Participants will come away with a deeper understanding of key literature, scholars, networks, and research projects related to state capture and media power, of which will be of use to them in their scholarship and applied work back home.

Application deadline: March 31, 2017

Financial aid is available.
