We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the forthcoming 
international conference entitled “Media, Polis, Agora: Journalism, 
Communication and Humanities in the New Technology Era”. The conference 
is organized jointly by the *Advanced Media Institute*, the *Open 
University (Cyprus) *Cyprus University of Technology* and *University of 
Nicosia*, in Nicosia Cyprus.

The multi-disciplinary conference aims to bring together academics and 
professionals, especially from the fields of media studies, journalism, 
communication, politics, law, sociology, governance, humanities, 
cultural analysis and technologies, to elaborate, discuss and advance 
ideas on the inter-relationship, synergies, conflict, policy and future 
directions of humanities, journalism, and communications in a new era 
dominated by technology. It will address areas related to the dynamic 
interplay between the media, the polis (politics) and the public sphere 
(agora). Some of the main themes that will be covered in this conference 
include advances in digital journalism, the future of humanities as a 
discipline in a technology-dominated era, the regulatory framework of 
the media in the new technological era, the challenges and ethical 
considerations of content creation in the new media, and the examination 
of how technological advances can promote research in humanities. We 
welcome theoretical, methodological and empirical submissions on these 
issues.


  Moreover, and perhaps more importantly, the conference seeks to build
  bridges between academia and the profession, between the humanities
  and the new technologies, and between the media actors and experts of
  their regulation. Thus, we welcome laboratories, workshops and
  seminars to demonstrate innovative practices, discuss ideas and share
  best practices regarding the themes of the conference.

We call for potential speakers to submit an abstract in English ranging 
from 250 - 500 words in English by April 1st, 2020.

Submissions shall be uploaded at the Easy Chair Platform, by clicking

All abstracts will be peer reviewed, so the submitted abstract should be 
prepared for blind review. Please note that each participant can present 
once as a primary author, although there are no limitations regarding 
co-authors.
