[ecrea] cfp - Conference re Fever, fakery and fatigue: Political communication in the 21st century

Mon Jun 01 14:00:46 GMT 2015





As we reflect on the recent election and the role of the media you may
be interested in contributing something to our annual conference as
detailed below.

*Fever, fakery and fatigue: Political communication in the 21^st century*

Institute of Communication Ethics Annual Conference

23^rd October 2015, Frontline Club, London W2 1QJ

*//*

*/CALL FOR PAPERS/*

The 2015 UK General Election is likely to highlight many of the ethical
issues surrounding political communication. For instance:

·To what extent will the major political parties confine the debate to a
limited range of issues?

·How will the mainstream media incorporate the voices of ‘ordinary
people’ in the political debates?

·To what extent will the campaigns be conducted in social media?

·How much impact will public relations have on the election?

·To what extent will it all be predictable spectacle/theatre/
’democratic ritual’?


These possible issues - and more - should be of concern to those in a
range of disciplines: journalism, public relations, political
communication, media sociology, surveillance studies.

The ICE annual conference could tackle these topics - and others thrown
up by the actual election campaign. We welcome abstracts of 200 words
for papers -please send them by 1 July 2015 to Fiona Thompson, ICE Exec
Group, at (f.thompson287 /at/ gmail.com) <mailto:(f.thompson287 /at/ gmail.com)> or
(f.thompson /at/ yorksj.ac.uk) <mailto:(f.thompson /at/ yorksj.ac.uk)>.
