Call for panel

for

*The Ninth International Conference **/Bridges of Media Education 2017/*

*Future challenges of journalism education*

15-16 September 2017

Department of Media Studies, Novi Sad, Serbia

The foundations of journalism have been shaken in the recent decades. 
The business model that sustained institutionalized journalism of the 
last century is becoming obsolete and unreliable. Development of digital 
communication technologies fosters restructuring of journalism practice 
as well as the relations with audiences and publics. Once seen mostly 
through the technological lenses, the changes brought by digital 
communication pose new questions related to accuracy, credibility, 
objectivity and trust.

Such profound changes in the economic, technological, structural and 
societal basis of journalism are pressuring for renewal of journalism 
education. Many unresolved debates surrounding journalism education 
gained a new momentum in the era of mass-self communication. The 
question about the core competencies and skills that constitute an ideal 
journalists has become urgent once more. During journalism 
professionalization this question has divided arguments between the 
theory and practice, or industry versus the academy in journalism 
education. Innovations in the realm of societal communication have 
complicated old discussions and brought about new aspects into the 
question of the substance, focus, organization and mission of education 
for future journalism.

Papers are welcomed in line with the following topics, but are not 
limited to these:

-Skills and competences for future journalists;

-Theory and practice in journalism education;

-Social media and journalism education;

-Teaching new forms of journalism;

-Professional norms and identity in journalism education;

-Critical reflections on journalism education;
