CALL FOR ACADEMIC ABSTRACTS AND SESSION PROPOSALS

-------------------------------------
PRAGUE MEDIA POINT
DECEMBER 3-5, 2020
PRAGUE, CZECHIA
www.praguemediapoint.com <http://www.praguemediapoint.com>
-------------------------------------
​
Submission deadline is June 1, 2020
Our theme in 2020 is (again)  WHAT’S WORKING
​
Back by popular demand! Last year, we at Prague Media Point decided we 
had had enough of all the doom and gloom around the media industry. 
Instead of looking backward at all the problems that have plagued the 
media in the internet age, we wanted to highlight initiatives, projects, 
and individuals that are actively countering those trends --  and 
succeeding. This solution-oriented approach resonated strongly with 
conference attendees, and based on their positive feedback, we have 
decided to adopt the same theme. Once again, we are encouraging 
submissions of abstracts and sessions by scholars and PhD candidates 
from journalism, media, technology, and other related disciplines 
focusing on examples in the media that are working and generating impact 
in the following subjects and topics, though this list is not exhaustive:
​
* Innovative ways to cover climate change
* Pandemic media coverage
* Media projects to counter polarization and disinformation
* Technology & security in editorial work and content delivery
* Effective methods for resisting threats to media freedom
* Engagement through social media
* Solutions and constructive journalism
* Trust-building techniques
* Different forms of storytelling
* Innovative business and ownership models
* Diversity in the newsroom

Confirmed speakers:
- Prof. Karin Wahl-Jorgensen, Director of Research Development and 
Environment, School of Journalism, Media and Culture, Cardiff University 
(UK)
- Prof. Claudia Loebbecke, Department of Media and Technology 
Management, The Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences, University of 
Cologne (Germany)
