Call for papers


Networked society faces challenges, limitations and dilemmas related to 
(post-)global public communication. Digital technologies are producing 
transformations which seem to be irrevocable in terms of public 
information, starting with the integration of journalism, public 
relations and advertising at the content level, and culminating with 
disinformation and deception. Although media and formats are converging, 
the audiences are increasingly more fragmented, contributing to 
postglobal reception practices. The conference aims to host papers that 
analyze journalism, public relations and advertising from the 
perspective of information and knowledge in the networked society. The 
papers will be related, but not limited, to the communication studies 
field, thus, we welcome interdisciplinary themes and approaches in the 
following sections:
