[Commlist] CFP: “Community Communication and Local Journalism” Conference

International Conference “Community Communication and Local Journalism 
in an Infodemic Scenario”

3^rd and 4^th November 2022

University of Beira Interior, Covilhã, Portugal

/// Introduction ///

This conference (#ComJor2022) has as its main objective deepen the 
discussions on the possibilities and challenges of community 
communication and local journalism, especially in the context of 
abundance and infodemic in digital environments.

Recent publications, events and research have demonstrated a growing 
interest in studies on these topics. At the same time, albeit in a timid 
way, academic productions highlight the importance of community 
communication, especially in local and regional contexts.

Understanding that there are possibilities for contact – theoretical and 
empirical – between the two themes, this congress intends to be a 
meeting point for reflections on community communication and local 
journalism, bringing together researchers and stimulating the production 
of research on these issues.

Raquel Paiva (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) will be the 
keynote speaker.
