Call for extended abstracts
Research Symposium on “Journalism Studies, Past and Present”
April 16, 2024 - Lisbon, Portugal

Research on journalism extends across a range of subjects from 
historical to contemporary, from print to online, and across different 
regions of the world, addressing a myriad of challenges. This symposium 
aims to bring together researchers, academics, professional journalists, 
and media organizations and, at the same time, explore how this field of 
study can be applicable in the everyday lives of journalists.

Researchers in journalism studies at the Research Centre for 
Communication and Culture (CECC) at the Universidade Católica 
Portuguesa, Lisbon therefore invite submissions of extended abstracts

sent to (journsymposium /at/ gmail.com) <mailto:(journsymposium /at/ gmail.com)> by
