[Commlist] CFP: From International News Flows to Platformization of Journalism

Sat Feb 12 05:14:20 GMT 2022





The ICA preconference _From International News Flows to Platformization of Journalism: Global News Diversity in Perspective_  is accepting abstracts until 24 February.  Please visit https://ica-globalnews.sciencesconf.org/ <https://ica-globalnews.sciencesconf.org/> for details.

**Keynote speakers: Emily Bell (Columbia University) and Bruce Mutsvairo (Utrecht University)**

This one-day pre-conference on platformization of news seeks to answer, in light of previous research in critical political economy of international news flow, questions about the circulation of online news through platforms. We invite extended abstracts (of no more than 800 words) pertaining, but not limited to, the following topics:

·How can we imagine a “free and balanced circulation” of online news which would not be market-oriented or politically-controlled by States, but empowering for citizens and public debate?

·In what ways does algorithmic control over the circulation of news influence public debate?

·Do YouTube and other platforms actively contribute to information diversity? If so, in what ways, to what extent and with what limits? Do newer platforms such as TikTok or Snapchat contribute more to news diversity than more established platforms?

·How has the pandemic altered our understanding of the domination of platforms over news flows?

·What opportunities exist to resist or reform the grip of global platforms over the circulation of news? Do citizens/consumers support of restrictions or limitations on that influence?

Hosted by Université Sorbonne Nouvelle and co-organised by the University of Leeds.

This ICA  pre-conference will be held on the 26 May of 2022 at La Maison de la Recherche of Université Sorbonne Nouvelle.

Registration for this pre-conference will open at the ICA website on the 1st of March 2022.
