/The University of Technology Sydney (UTS), School of Communication is 
pleased to hold the International Cultures of Journalism Conference on 
27-28 May 2020 in Sydney, Australia/

ICJ2020 is anICA <https://www.icahdq.org/page/2020CFP>post-conference. 
It aims to spur an engaged scholarly debate on how different cultures of 
journalism become distinctly visible across the world. Though journalism 
is usually taught and practiced through a traditional model developed in 
the West, the routines and conventions of journalism have distinctive 
meanings in the non-Western context.For an effective practice of 
journalism, there is a need to develop a model that will sit outside the 
long-established Western paradigm and reflect better national contexts. 
Therefore, this conference offers an international and intercultural 
environment for academics, researchers, journalists and postgraduate 
students to exchange and share research results and experiences about 
the various cultures of journalism.

The International Cultures of Journalism//conference /ICJ2020/ aims to 
focus on how journalism is developing in different countries outside 
Western contexts. Traditionally journalism across the world has been 
taught and practiced through an Anglo/American apparatus, which has not 
necessarily been very useful for non-Western contexts. The reasons 
behind this include differing political, economic, technological, 
social, and ideological systems in various parts of the world, which 
make one model of journalism training and practice infeasible. Even 
journalistic linguistic structures offer an effective variant to 
journalism practices across the world.

This two-day conference aims to discuss these variants within different 
structures of journalism operation around the world, and addresses 
issues that are relevant, but not restricted, to the following questions:

  * What are the challenges or opportunities for training and/or
    practicing journalism within different parts of the world?
  * What kind of factors influence the development of journalism in
    certain contexts?
  * Can we see particular practices of investigative journalism emerge
    in different cultural journalism contexts?
  * What kind of models of operation can develop in order to foster the
    training and practice of investigative journalism outside Western
    contexts?
  * What case studies can we use to understand the complexity of
    developing non-Western models of journalism?
  * What kind of theoretical or policy-based models of journalism can be
    developed for specific regions of the world?
  * How can cultures of journalism evolve in non-Western contexts? Are
    there examples of ones that have developed? What do they look like?
  * How have new technologies impacted and/or facilitated the
    development of distinctive cultures of journalism?

The conference will include paper and panel presentations, with keynote 
speakers: Professor Barbie Zelizer, Professor Hugo de Burgh, and 
Professor Mark Deuze. You will have the chance to receive constructive 
and meaningful feedback from experts in the field, engage in academic 
debate and create connections with researchers with similar interests.
