[ecrea] Call for papers: journalism studies pre-conference Etmaal van de Communicatiewetenschap 2013

In association with the Erasmus University Rotterdam the Netherlands 
Flemish Communication Association, division Journalism is proud to present:

The Journalism pre-conference Etmaal van de Communicatiewetenschap 2013

Insiders and Outsiders in the Journalistic Field

Wednesday February 6th, 2013, Erasmus University Rotterdam

Aim & theme

During the past decade the journalistic field has been under increasing 
pressures. One of the consequences has been that new lines were drawn. 
Lines between insiders and outsiders, between free lancers and 
institutional journalists, between off- and online, between professional 
and civic journalists and between successful and unsuccessful new 
business models.

After Kees Brants en Peter Vasterman set an agenda for journalism 
research in the Netherlands and Flanders in a special issue of 
Tijdschrift voor Communicatiewetenschap (2010), it is now time to 
consider where that agenda has taken us. We will be exploring the 
current state of journalism with a special eye for the relationship 
between those who are on the inside and those who are on the outside. 
During the conference there will be ample time for discussion.

Keynote speaker

We are very happy to present our keynote speaker Ansgard Heinrich, from 
the University of Groningen, as she is the author of one of the most 
interesting books on journalism from recent years. Network Journalism. 
Journalistic Practice in Interactive Spheres (Routledge, 2011) deals 
with the interplays between journalistic practice, digital technologies 
and globalization. It deals with the question how media practitioners in 
the UK, Germany and the US working in various traditional and 
alternative media outlets are coping with the challenges of today’s 
digital communication flows.

In the second half of the conference we have reserved space for PhD 
students in the field of journalism studies to present their recent 
projects for an audience of experts. PhD students who want to
