Inaugural International Conference

*Moving Forward: Where is the Journalist in Social Media?*




*SpringHill Suites Downtown Denver Metropolitan State University of Denver
Denver, Colorado USAJune 23-24, 2017*


*Call for Papers:*

In the current political climate, the constructions of celebrity leaders
and popular forms of mediated truths, especially with the recent "fake"
internet news, have raised questions about journalism. Tabloid and other
forms of popular journalism use narrative devices of gossip, rumor and
scandals while many news media have abandoned facts and intelligent
analysis in favor of spectacular outrage and incivility, both situations
acting as testaments to the lack of informed opinions. Although scholars
and journalists work together during news reporting,
investigations/documentaries, and on other issues that are covered by news
media, scholars are often confined to academic research and disconnected
from the realities faced by journalists. Can citizen journalists and
journalism scholars help move forward with progressive research and
practice? What are the qualifications and definitions of a ‘journalist?’
Is this someone who is employed professionally - or someone who has
received an academic certification (degree) to be qualified? Or can anyone
today be a journalist?

Citizen participation has been seen as essential in the democratic
processes of production, distribution, and reception of news. Online
participatory media such as blogs, comments and videos offer a democratic
platform for the expression of alternative ideas that may otherwise be
filtered by traditional journalism. Yet, citizen journalists need critical
media literacy that is often lost in the lure of visibility. How can
journalism scholars creatively and critically engage citizen journalists in
the dissemination of their research, informed opinions and cultural
productions?

The Centre for Ecological, Social, and Informatics Cognitive Research
(ESI.CORE), in association with sponsors Centre for Media and Celebrity
Studies (CMCS) and WaterHill Publishing, invites academics, journalists,
publicists, producers and guests to attend, speak and collaborate at the
inaugural international conference Moving Forward: Where is the Journalist
in Social Media? Join us in Denver, Colorado where the conference will
uniquely combine vibrant roundtable and media workshop panels in a
collaborative network.

The format of the conference aims at being open and inclusive ranging from
interdisciplinary academic scholars to practitioners involved in all areas
of print, broadcast and online journalism. Working papers and media
productions will be considered for the conference.

Extended versions of selected best papers will be published in an edited
book.
