Sustainability and resilience in communication and the media

Call for papers
Journalism, the media and communication are facing major challenges. 
Political, societal, environmental, international and economic crises, 
as well as the emergence of disruptive technologies and 
the proliferation of distribution platforms are profoundly disrupting 
how they operate. The field of communication and media is adapting to 
these major changes, while also making them more visible. The call for 
papers of the 2024 SACM Annual Conference invites researchers and 
practitioners to examine these upheavals together, as well as the 
responses by those involved in communication and the media, and the new 
models that are taking shape. What types of resilience are being 
deployed by communication and media practitioners and researchers within 
the current context? And what sustainable solutions are they devising in 
their respective fields and activities?

New! SGKM-PhD workshop. At the SACM annual conference, an SGKM-PhD 
workshop will be held for the first time. This workshop is aimed at 
doctoral students who are writing their thesis in the field 
of communication and media and who are members of the SACM. The PhD 
workshop will be held as a pre-conference on the afternoon of Wednesday

are selected can present their thesis ideas or parts of their thesis and 
receive feedback from their peers and senior researchers (please note
