The *call for papers* for the forthcoming international conference 
entitled “Media, Polis, Agora: Journalism & Communication in the Digital 
Era” is open and you are invited to submit your abstract by *April 10*!

The conference is organized by the Advanced Media Institute

Recherches Appliquées en Sciences Sociales <https://www.lerass.com/>of 
the *L’ Université Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier*

This interdisciplinary conference aims to bring together scholars, 
professionals and practitioners from diverse fields -- including 
journalism studies, media and communication studies, political 
communication, sociology, critical humanities, policy and governance 
studies, technology studies, and cultural analysis-- to discuss the 
dynamic and continuous pivotal interplay of politics (polis), journalism 
and communication (media) and the public sphere (agora). The conference 
will further discuss the challenges that the advancement in digital 
journalism, ethics and content creation, mediated public discourse, new 
media and positions, as well as mediated political, public and civic 
action bring to those three spheres. We welcome theoretical, 
methodological and empirical submissions, case studies, and comparative 
work from all over the world.

Equally important, the conference seeks to build bridges between 
academia and the world of journalistic, media and political practice. 
Thus, we welcome Laboratories, Workshops and Seminars to demonstrate 
innovative projects, discuss ideas and share best-practices regarding 
the themes of the Conference.
