CALL FOR PAPERS
International conference:
'The Future of Media, Mediatization, Journalism and Communication'
(7-8 May 2019, Bydgoszcz, Poland) www.futureofmedia.ukw.edu.pl
Organized by the Department of Journalism, New Media and Communication,
Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz, Poland.

The conference will be part of the celebrations of the 50th anniversary 
of the University and the 500th anniversary of the heritage of Leonardo 
da Vinci (1452-1519). The founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates, after the 
acquisition in 1994 (for over $ 30 million) of this Renaissance genius’ 
notes ("Codex Leicester"), said the computer is a reflection of Leonardo 
da Vinci’s ideas. The special panel on the first day of the conference 
is to be devoted to the heritage of Leonardo and other geniuses whose 
minds were ahead of the ages in which they lived. Thanks to the 
inventions of Edison, Marconi, Tesla and many others, including those 
living today, like the mentioned Bill Gates or Tim Berners-Lee (the 
inventor of the World Wide Web), people today use technologies that 
enable fast, efficient, interactive communication, and the works of 
Leonardo and others geniuses are now easily available in the global 
Network, in digital form, being an inspiration for further activities 
for the development of civilization. Using this inspiration, the 
conference is organized to exchange ideas, opinions, results of research 
and predictions related to the development of media, journalism, various 
forms of communication and mediatization of social life in various 
dimensions.The conference panels are to concern in particular (but not
