This conference, which is organised by the Media Discourse Group and
supported by the MeCCSA Postgraduate Network, seeks to bring together
PhD students from the international research community to discuss the
mechanics of how we research Media Discourse.
The broad inter-disciplinary remit of Media Discourse, which encompasses
a wide range of fields, from media studies, journalism and cultural
studies to political science and international relations, means that
there are an extensive variety of methodological approaches available.
This can provide both challenges and opportunities in a swiftly changing
media landscape.

media landscape.
The Media Discourse Group invites PhD researchers to submit proposals
which explore methodological approaches through the use of case studies.
We encourage submissions which focus on the application of the selected
method/s to particular case studies, and which critically review the
advantages and disadvantages of applying the method, and how we can deal
with any challenges that may arise.
Suggested topics for papers include (but are not limited to):
- Online research methods.
- Critical Discourse Analysis.
- Historical approaches.
- Multimodal Analysis.
- Content Analysis.
- Ethnography.
- Participant Observation.
Potential contributors are invited to send a 250-word abstract and a
title to (media.discourse /at/ dmu.ac.uk) <mailto:(media.discourse /at/ dmu.ac.uk)> by
3 September 2012.
Keynote speakers will be confirmed shortly. This is a free event and
lunch and conference material will be provided.
