Future of
Journalism: “Innovations, Transitions and Transformations”
Cardiff University, UK, September 2019
The School
of Journalism, Media and Culture (JOMEC) at Cardiff University will host the
seventh biennial Future of Journalism conference on 12-13 September 2019.
The
conference will take place in JOMEC's new state-of-the-art home in Cardiff's
city centre. The theme will be “Innovations, Transitions and Transformations.”
Our
distinguished keynote speakers are Professor Andrew Chadwick (Loughborough University), Professor Adrienne Russell (University of Washington), and
Professor Nikki Usher (George Washington University).
The call
for abstracts is now open. We invite contributions on all aspects of
journalism, with those addressing the conference theme particularly encouraged.
Issues to
be addressed may include:
- How are definitions of journalism changing in an evolving news ecosystem?
- What is the future for today’s journalist in an environment increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, big data, algorithmic processing and "liminal" journalism practices?
- How are standards of quality, balance and fairness changing, including with regard to the perceived decline of ‘mainstream media’ and the rise of hyper-partisan outlets?
- To what extent are social media democratising citizens’ engagement with news across mobile platforms?
- How best to encourage new cultures of experimentation and innovation for rethinking journalistic form and practice?
- How should journalism studies respond to these shifts, conceptually and methodologically?
A selection
of papers presented at the conference will be published in special issues of
the international peer-reviewed journals Digital Journalism, Journalism Practice and Journalism Studies. Routledge, Taylor & Francis have kindly
agreed to sponsor the conference.
The
conference will take place on Thursday 12th and Friday 13th September 2019. The
registration fee will be £250 (£200 for postgraduate students), which includes
tea and coffee breaks as well as the conference dinner (to be held on the
evening of 12th September).
The
deadline for submitting abstracts (250 words maximum) for papers is January
31st, 2019. Please submit your abstract via the conference email address:
FofJ2019@cardiff.ac.uk
Please do
not submit more than one abstract as first author, with no more than two
abstracts in total.
