LOCAL MEDIA FAL(L) SCHOOL

"LOCAL, REGIONAL, COMMUNITY AND PROXIMITY MEDIA"

September, 19-21

University of Beira Interior (Covilhã, PT)

The project Remedia.Lab - Laboratory & Incubator of Regional Media, 
headquartered in the research unit Labcom.IFP of the University of Beira 
Interior (Covilhã, Portugal), receives *until July 30* proposals for 
communication and multimedia journalism projects to be developed within 
the scope of LOCAL MEDIA FAL(L) SCHOOL, the first fall school on “Local, 
regional, community and proximity media”, which will take place 
September 19-21 in Covilhã.

The answer to this call for papers can assume three forms: a) academic 
work, b) journalistic work, or c) both.

ACADEMIC WORKS

Remedia.Lab and LabCom.IFP recognize the existence of an increased 
interest in proximity media in the form of diverse scientific and 
academic approaches. Therefore, we invite all interested parties to 
present a summary of the topic "Local, Community, and Proximity Media", 
with approximately 500 words,  clearly identifying objectives, 
methodology, and results (verified or expected). Proposals are accepted, 
but not exclusively, on the following topics:

-Local and community media and news building;

- Local and community media and the digital switchover;

- Local and community media and new platforms;

- Local and community media and new business models;

-Local and community media and new media narratives;

- Local and community media, culture, and heritage;

- Local and community media and citizenship;

- Local and community media  and participation;

- Local and community media and collaborative culture;

- Local and community media and local services;

- Local and community media and local governance.

In the event there will be a set of parallel scientific sessions, 
destined to the communication of the proposals approved by the 
Scientific Committee at a maximum of 20. The enrolled ones will be able 
to attend conferences and training actions with academics, journalists 
and media managers .

Registration for the presentation of communications has a cost of 50 
euros, except for students of all cycles of the University of Beira 
Interior, for whom the value will be 25 euros. Participants will be 
entitled to a certificate and the publication of the article in a book 
to be edited by LabCom.IFP.

JOURNALISTIC WORK

Participants may, in addition to scientific communication, also present 
a journalistic project, to be developed during the Fall School. 
Participants in this project are challenged to design a short 
journalistic narrative about a regional gastronomic event that takes 
place between 18 and 22 September, in the city of Covilhã. It is the 
Festival of Cherovia, a typical regional product of Cova da Beira, which 
is a pretext for five days of strong tourist and gastronomic animation, 
with events taking place throughout the historical area of the city. 
Those interested will have training actions with journalists, academics 
and technicians so that they can develop their project. The use of 
mobile devices shall be preferred for the development of works for one 
of the following modalities:

- Video-reporting;

- Social media reporting (eg Instagram);

- Multimedia reporting for a blog.

The capture of sounds and images will be done by each participant during 
the festival, which takes place mostly at night.

The best project in each of the categories will be selected and awarded 
by a jury.

The registration in the training courses of preparation and execution of 
the projects costs 30 euros, except for students of all cycles of the 
University of Beira Interior, who pay 15 euros. For participants who 
present academic and also journalistic works, the cost is cumulative, 
that is, 80 euros (50 + 30) or 40 euros (25 + 15) - in the latter case 
if they are students of the University of Beira Interior.

In any of the modalities interested parties should send an email until 
July 30 to (remedialab /at/ labcom.ubi.pt) <mailto:(remedialab /at/ labcom.ubi.pt)> 
(with the knowledge to (jcorreia /at/ ubi.pt) <mailto:(jcorreia /at/ ubi.pt)> and 
(pj /at/ ubi.pt) <mailto:(pj /at/ ubi.pt)>).

Regardless of the modality chosen, the interested parties must indicate 
in the email the name, identification, profession, and institution, as 
well as the modality (academic work, journalistic work or academic work 
& journalistic work). In the case of academic papers, the abstract 
should be attached to the email.
