The Internet and social media create new opportunities for surveillance. 
Governments, military organisations, intelligence agencies, 
corporations, market researchers, and advertisers have the capacity to 
erase privacy and reshape the conditions of human autonomy. Mass media 
representations can, potentially, legitimise or delegitimise 
contemporary surveillance practices. These developments threaten 
journalistic practice just as they create new opportunities for 
counter-surveilling institutions of power. How then, should we 
understand the interrelationships which conjoin journalism, media and 
surveillance? Conference participants will, we hope, respond to this 
general question. Here, the following themes suggest themselves.
