> DOING GLOBAL MEDIA STUDIES:
> COMPARATIVE METHODS OF TRANSCULTURAL AND TRANSNATIONAL RESEARCH
>
> Pre-conference to the ECREA 2010 ­ 3rd European Communication Conference
> Bremen, Germany, 11-12 October 2010, Haus der Wissenschaft
>
> Held by: NIIK, Network Intercultural and International Communication
> Organization: Michael Brüggemann, Andreas Hepp, 
> Katharina Kleinen-von Königslöw
>
> 'Global media studies' are an approach of media 
> research which reflects the increasing 
> phenomenon of transcultural and transnational 
> communication: If we consider news or 
> entertainment formats, the internet or mobile 
> communication, mainstream or minority media ­ 
> public and private communication increasingly 
> transcends national and cultural borders. But 
> how can we respond to this methodologically? 
> Which innovative methods are necessary for media 
> and communication research in a globalized media 
> world? What kinds of empirical research are 
> required for "doing" global media studies?
>
> This conference tackles the methodological 
> challenges facing comparative media research in 
> a global age, reflecting critically the present 
> status of transcultural and transnational 
> communication. We would like to invite 
> presentations dealing with the methodological 
> consequences of research going beyond 'national 
> containers'. Proposals may address challenges 
> with regard to the overall research design, 
> methodological innovations, or deal more 
> specifically with methodological issues 
> concerning the selection of cases as well as the 
> gathering and analysis of data. Quantitative, 
> qualitative and mixed methodological approaches are all very welcome.
>
> The pre-conference will feature the 
> presentations of peer­reviewed submitted papers 
> as well as distinguished key­note speakers in 
> the field of global media studies. It will also 
> comprise workshop elements for a hands­on 
> discussion of the practical issues that arise 
> from research projects which go beyond cultural borders.
>
>

> through the ECREA 2010 website no later than:
> - 28 February 2010. Please note that this 
> submission deadline will not be extended!
