[Commlist] Communications Education in the Digital Age - Call for Symposium Papers

7th International Communication Days will take place at Istanbul.

Faculty of Communication is hosting the seventh International 
Communication Days on 16 - 17 April 2020. This year’s symposium title is 
“Communications Education in the Digital Age”. The symposium series, 
attracting great interest both nationally and internationally, have been 
held annually since 2014 with themes such as digital addiction, digital 
culture and digital transformation.

The main title of this year’s international symposium is “Communications 
Education in the Digital Age”. In our age, digitalization has led to 
significant transformations in the media sector and it is inevitable 
that the educational institutions will develop an educational approach 
appropriate for this transformation. The accreditation processes 
initiated in the faculties of communication are indicative of efforts to 
adapt to the standards of excellence and requirements of the age in 
higher education institutions. It is important to update the curriculum 
which forms the basis of communications education in accordance with the 
requirements of digitalization. Furthermore, it is crucial to replan the 
educational tools, materials and techniques. It is significant both in 
terms of meeting the expectations of the sector and professional success 
of the students that the institutions providing communication education 
keep up with the times. All these require new approaches to be brought 
forward, discussed and planned in communications education

Symposium will last for two days and will comprise esteemed scholars 
from both Turkey and abroad including Prof. Erik Knudsen, Prof. Halil 
Nalçaoğlu, Prof. Maureen Ellis, Prof. Neira Cruz Xose Antonio and Assoc. 
Prof. Rocio Ovalle. In addition, as in the previous year, distinguished 
academics in the field will be moderating the sessions at the symposium.
