CALL FOR PAPERS

Global Journalism Symposium 2015, Kristiansand, Norway

6 October 2015

Plenary speakers: Anton Harber (South Africa), Thomas Hanitzsch

The Global Journalism Symposium 2015 brings together scholars for a day 
of discussion and exchange. The symposium will have both plenary 
sessions with invited guest speakers and break-away sessions with paper 
presentations. The plenary sessions will especially focus on the

future for universal values in journalism amidst the massive changes 
that the profession is undergoing?

the southernmost tip of Norway. The destination (KRS) is easily 
accessible with direct flights from cities such as Oslo, Copenhagen and
