The University of Cagliari and the University of Rome 'Tor Vergata' 
welcome scholars, researchers, and communication  professionals to the 
6th World Conference on Media and Mass Communication (MEDCOM 2020). The 
conference will be held on 28th – 30th of May, 2020 on the University of 
Cagliari campus in Sardinia, Italy under the theme "Communication and 
Cultural Change".

The MEDCOM 2020 conference theme, "Communication and Cultural Change", 
aims to provide a platform for academics, independent researchers, 
artists, and activists to share their collective wisdom on the 
implications, opportunities and challenges of communication in an 
interconnected world. We encourage research that embraces a wide variety 
of disciplinary and cultural perspectives. Submit your research abstract 
to seek eligibility to showcase your work at this prestigious 
international forum.

Communication is the other side of representation of knowledge. Symbols, 
languages, technologies, and media mediate all we know about the world 
we live in. Our cognitive processes and artifacts do not objectively 
mirror the perception of reality, rather our perception is a negotiation 
among several entities – reality, languages and us (our body, minds, and 
social relationships). This is why communication is so important in all 
aspects of our lives (social and behavioral). However, the strategies 
that are in place when we communicate are not clear with regard to how 
we understand each other, persuade, and make alliances to change a 
culture. One could argue that for this reason, social campaigns and 
messages that are designed to encourage “good” behaviors (such as do not 
cause environmental pollution, do not smoke, increase physical activity, 
adopt auto-limitation behaviors, etc.) are not so effective. In this 
conference, we will explore the cognitive, emotional, and social 
processes involved in communication and in particular in the social 
communication area.

The scientific committee is constituted by scholars and experts selected 
for their great knowledge of and competence in one or more topics 
guaranteeing high quality and fairness in the reviewing process.

Fabrizio Meloni) and the head of the panels (Alessandro Lovari, Emiliano
