[Commlist] Call for Discussants: ECREA Communications Law and Policy Section Virtual Pre-Conference Sessions

Sat Apr 23 09:24:50 GMT 2022




*Call for Discussants: ECREA Communications Law and Policy Section Virtual Pre-Conference Sessions*

Alongside great destruction and human suffering, the war in Ukraine has brought governments, regulators and platform services to combat disinformation and incitement or to control the message, depending onone’s perspective. The role of public interest media has been foregrounded, not just of the big public service broadcasters, but also of small independent media and journalists’ collectives. In response to ECREA’s invitation to sections to hold virtual pre-conference events around the 9th European Communications Conference, the Communications Law and Policy section is planning three two-hour long sessions on themes that are now more urgent than ever.

The format is designed to enable a dynamic exchange of ideas and recent research findings among scholars and stakeholders that address some of the most pressing issues in the field. After opening comments by invited speakers from both media and communication policymaking and policy research, 5 section members will present insights from their research or their cutting-edge ideas in 4-minute elevator pitches to kick off discussion. We welcome exploratory research findings, yet to be tested hypothesis, innovative policy ideas, calls to action in new research directions.
