[Commlist] conference: Crowded out or limitless horizons? Minority language-media in the digital age

This international conference is co-organised by the Basque Institute 
Etxepare and the University of Edinburgh.

Its aims are to exchange knowledge and promote collaboration between 
academics and professionals working on minority-language media.

The conference will be in English.

    About the conference

In the early 1980s, the establishment of Catalan, Basque and Welsh TV 
channels motivated several European scholars to investigate key concepts 
concerning minority language media and undertake important case studies. 
In 1992, the European Charter for Regional and Minority Languages 
emphasised that public authorities have important responsibilities in 
this field.

In the last two decades, the introduction of digitalisation and the 
Internet have developed a global world where the impacts, challenges and 
opportunities for minority language media have become increasingly 
complex. Despite these transformations, there has been little focused 
discussion and debate on the relationship between the digital and 
minority-language media.
