[ecrea] CFP: Media and Governance in Latin America

Media & Governance in Latin America
Exploring the role of communication for development

The University of Sheffield, 13–14 May 2014



Call for papers

Deadline 3 February 2014

In 21st-century Latin America, information and participation asymmetries 
are being challenged by new technologies, the reinvigoration of civil 
society and changing media policies. Questions are arising about the 
relationships between media and communication and the region's 
democratic governance.
This conference aims to explore the connections between communication, 
citizenship, governance and development in Latin America in an 
interdisciplinary effort. The event brings together academics, 
practitioners and researchers from social sciences and humanities, to 
consider the following work streams:
Media, politics and citizenship in Latin America: media policies, media 
ownership, public interest, political communication practices, 
mediatization of politics
Communication for social change: community participation, civic 
empowerment, investigative journalism, social media platforms, social 
movements as new media
Media discourse in Latin America: media populism, minorities’ 
representations, collaborative media, and freedom of speech



Submissions
Please email an abstract of 250 to 300 words, in Microsoft Word format, 
to Sara García, (sgarciasantamaria1 /at/ sheffield.ac.uk), before 3 February
