We are pleased to announce that *ICA President Prof. Dr Thomas

Communication and Media Studies Conference, which will be held on 12–14

Mediterranean University, this year’s conference will take place under 
the theme *“Truth and Trust in the Age of AI.”*

As artificial intelligence increasingly shapes the ways in which 
information is produced, distributed, and consumed, questions of truth, 
trust, credibility, ethics, transparency, and accountability have become 
central to communication and media studies. The conference aims to bring 
together scholars, researchers, early-career academics, and graduate 
students working in the field of communication and media studies to 
exchange ideas, present research findings, and discuss emerging 
challenges and opportunities in AI-shaped media environments.

We welcome paper submissions in English and Turkish on a wide range of 
topics, including but not limited to journalism, news and information 
integrity; political communication and democracy; digital and social 
media platforms; human-machine communication; strategic communication, 
advertising and public relations; visual communication and digital 
culture; communication ethics; media and AI literacy; culture, identity 
and representation; peace communication; and emerging research methods 
in communication and AI.

*Submission Deadline:* 28 September 2026

Abstracts should be no longer than 250 words. The submission link is
