[ecrea] Call for Conference Submissions: Re-Inventing Journalism

Mon Oct 06 14:42:36 GMT 2014



Call for Conference Submissions: Re-Inventing Journalism

5th- 6th of February, 2015, Winterthur, Switzerland

Convened by the Journalism Studies Sections of ECREA and DGPUK

Co-Sponsored by the Journalism Studies Sections of ICA, IAMCR and SGKM

It is the best of times, it is the worst of times for the practice and
study of journalism. It is the worst of times for journalists who lose
their jobs. Many legacy providers of journalistic face difficulties in
adapting to changes to their traditional business model. Yet this is
also a time of creativity and innovation, reflected in the emergence
of new types of journalistic outlets, story-telling formats and job
profiles. With the challenge for journalism to re-invent itself in the
digital media environment comes the challenge for journalism scholars
to review their concepts and methods, and question the durability of
findings.

The conference will feature traditional conference panels, but also
two formats that allow for more interaction between the presenters and
those people who were formerly called the audience:

(1) INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP SESSIONS:

These discussion sessions will focus on specific questions that you
are interested to discuss in a mini workshop with other conference
participants. These mini workshops will be kicked off by
thought-provoking input statements from the panel members, followed by
an open discussion in which all attendees participate.

(2) HIGH DENSITY PRESENTATION/POSTER SESSIONS:

Submitters will outline a research question, methodology and most
interesting findings in a five minute talk. Instead of power point
slides, participants will prepare a poster. After the round of intro
talks, attendees will disperse towards the poster displays and discuss
at greater length the research presented. As poster presenter, please
submit:

(3) TRADITIONAL CONFERENCE PRESENTATION. Please submit:

- an extended abstract (1.500 words, see above) that, if accepted,
results in a 20 minute presentation.

SUBMISSION FORM: Please send us two seperate documents for the cover
sheet (Name, Title etc.) and the abstract for an easier anonymisation
process.
