*Call for Papers

****Media and Democracy Symposium******
Pissouri Village, Cyprus
19-20 October 2019*


The Symposium aims is to promote the debate on the effective 
participation of the citizen in the democratic system of government, 
which involves the citizens informing about social, political, economic, 
religion, cultural and environmental events. Nowadays we observe in the 
private and public life both the dominance of traditional and new media, 
which in some cases construct contradictory information, especially 
regarding the political life of the country. This Symposium aims is to 
analyze the Media and Democracy from different points of view, which 
could be summarized in the following topics:


- The importance of new media and the momentum that they have acquired,
- The role of social networks in democracy
- Media Representations of Brexit.
- “New” and “Old” media in the democracy countries.
- Fake News and Democracy
– The ideology and propaganda role.
- Citizen Mobilization and Political Activism in the Local, National or 
European Parliament
Elections.
- Nationalist Movements to the Media industries.
