Journalism, Communication and Humanities in the New Technology Era
Nicosia, Cyprus – September 17-19, 2020
Keynote Speakers

The Advanced Media Institute, the Communication and New Journalism program at the Open University of Cyprus, the Cyprus University of Technology and the School of Law of the University of Nicosia invite submissions for the forthcoming international conference entitled: ‘Media, Polis, Agora: Journalism, Communication and Humanities in the New Technology Era’. The conference will take place in Nicosia, Cyprus in September 2020.
The multi-disciplinary conference aims to bring together academics and professionals, especially from the fields of media studies, journalism, communication, politics, law, sociology, governance, humanities, cultural analysis and technologies, to elaborate, discuss and advance ideas on the inter-relationship, synergies, conflict, policy and future directions of humanities, journalism, and communications in a new era dominated by technology. It will address areas related to the dynamic interplay between the media, the polis (politics) and the public sphere (agora). Some of the main themes that will be covered in this conference include advances in digital journalism, the future of humanities as a discipline in a technology-dominated era, the regulatory framework of the media in the new technological era, the challenges and ethical considerations of content creation in the new media, and the examination of how technological advances can promote research in humanities. We welcome theoretical, methodological and empirical submissions on these issues.
Moreover, and perhaps more importantly, the conference seeks to build bridges between academia and the profession, between the humanities and the new technologies, and between the media actors and experts of their regulation. Thus, laboratories, workshops and seminars are welcome to demonstrate innovative practices, discuss ideas and share best practices regarding the themes of the conference.
