[ecrea] CFP: Rethinking Theories and Concepts of Mediated Communication conference

*Call for Papers*

*/Rethinking Theories and Concepts of Mediated Communication/*

**

A research conference to be held */13-14 September 2018 in Barcelona, 
Spain/*.

Abstract submission deadline: */30 April 2018/*//

This conference will explore how theories and concepts of mediated 
communication are being challenged in the face of digitization, 
globalization, and other trends.

  * How is theorizing in fields such as political communication, media
    production (journalism, PR, advertising and entertainment), media
    structures and economics, health and science communication, media
    psychology and other areas being challenged in the face of recent
    trends?
  * How might key concepts in communication research, such as audience,
    media exposure, or even mass communication, be re-articulated in the
    face of digitization, globalization, or other trends?
  * How is normative theorizing about the media, including notions of
    press freedom, professionalism, journalistic objectivity and
    authority as well as the media’s role as “fourth Estate” challenged
    by digitization, globalization, or other trends?
The conference welcomes original English-language submissions of 
theoretical and conceptual essays (we are not looking for empirical 
studies).

This conference is cosponsored by the University of Missouri School of 
Journalism, Nanyang Technological University, and LMU-Munich, and hosted 
by Missouri’s Barcelona office.
