The Political Communication Section (PCS) of the European
Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA) is inviting the
submission of papers, panels or posters on issues of its specific subfield
for the forthcoming ECC- 2010 conference, in collaboration with the Hans
Bredow Institute, the University of Hamburg and the Hamburg Media School, in
Germany from 12 to 15 October 2010.
***
Specifically, the Political Communication Section of ECREA is inviting
empirical and/or theoretical contributions on the changing nature of the
relationship between citizens, political actors and the media, old and new.
We welcome papers that address issues such as: the implications of mediated
and mediatized politics on the quality of modern democracy; the European
political communication deficit; the link between political communication
and media policy, new journalistic practices, but also rising antagonistic
civic communicative inputs in processes of mediation and mediatization of
politics; Similarly, we invite papers on communication strategies and news
management of political elites; campaign communication; citizenship and
public sphere; media effects on political orientations and participation; as
well as interpersonal and online political communication. In line with the
general theme of the 2010 ECC we are particularly interested in papers that
take a comparative view on political communication in Europe. The section
aims to encourage critical and interdisciplinary approaches while creating
dialogue between a broad diversity of methodological and theoretical
approaches.
