The Department of Media Studies and Journalism at Masaryk University, 
Brno, Czech Republic, in cooperation with the ECREA Central and East 
European Network is organizing the 14th Central and Eastern European 
Communication and Media Conference CEECOM 2023 for June 29-30, 2023 in 
Brno, Czech Republic.
Conference theme

The theme of the 14th Central and Eastern European Communication and 
Media Conference is Threats, Challenges and Opportunities in the 
Changing Central and Eastern European Media Environments.

In recent years the countries in the Central and Eastern European 
region, similarly to countries worldwide, face various challenges 
regarding their media systems. Digitalization has provided the public 
with diverse choices and more media products than ever before, and media 
routines and the repertoires of audiences have been changing 
continuously. New information environments in many countries are more 
fragmented and polarized, followed by the growth of divergent 
alternatives. Legacy media and journalists in many countries in the CEE 
region struggle with declining trust, increasing politization and 
growing pressure and political interference in the autonomy of 
journalists. The rise of illiberal tendencies, populist and radical 
political actors and populists and radical communication is associated 
with the increased political hostility towards knowledge-producing elite 
institutions. In populist discourses, established professional media are 
typically labeled as ‘fake news’ or as ‘a part of liberal propaganda’, 
and professional journalists, as enemies of people.

Moreover, during last two years the countries in the region were greatly 
affected by two crises – COVID-19 and the Russo-Ukrainian War taking 
place in the region itself. Therefore, the aim of the 14th Central and 
Eastern European Communication and Media Conference CEECOM 2023 is to 
address the current issues in the region, the threats and challenges the 
countries face, and to consider what future development and 
opportunities are possible.
