Over the last two decades, much of the research on and public
conversation about journalism has focused on the idea of ?change?. An
impressive body of scholarship has scrutinized the transformations of
news production in relation to digital technologies. As the various
changes of journalism have been researched intensely, we now need to
shift our focus to the various features of the emerging media
landscape, with all its nuances in different spheres (content,
structure of media organisations, professional values, business
models, audiences, etc.).
?Diversity? is probably the word that best characterizes this new and
complex media landscape. In their attempt to meet the challenges of a
new technological environment and the changing demands from a more
active audience, media organisations have adopted a diversity of
approaches. At the same time, the professional values of journalists
are shifting from traditional profiles to new ones. This growing
diversity may be found in many aspects, including news content and
their storytelling forms, the structures of media ownership, the
profile and role of audiences.
The goal of this conference is therefore to address the concept of
diversity related to contemporary journalism in a comprehensive and
international way.
