Media and Freedom of Speech. Controversies and Social Clashes

Call for Papers

Vilnius, 24-25th October 2013

Communication Faculty, Institute of Journalism, Vilnius University



The current economic crisis and austerity measures that were introduced 
during the period accelerated major structural, technological, 
professional and economic changes of mainstream media landscape. It also 
challenged practices of journalism, public and political communication 
and puts into question methodologies of media freedom measurement as 
well as adequacy of current communication policies in securing Freedom 
of Speech for all. The questions of how public communication has been 
affected and what are consequences of the current changes for broader 
social context and working democracies remain under-theorized.


We welcome submissions from media practitioners and scholars working in 
media, communication, journalism and other social research fields. 
Presentations based on empirical research and insights and on various 
theoretical approaches are invited on topics such as:


- Media Economy and Freedom of Speech.
