'Can Vote,Won't Vote: is the media responsible?'
6th November 2003 Goldsmiths College, London
Call for Papers
The Journalism Research Unit, based at Goldsmiths College's Department of
Media and Communications, is organising a symposium on November 6th entitled
'Can Vote but Won't Vote: is the media responsible' The Symposium is
intended to bring media practitioners, politicians and political
communicators together with academic researchers to discuss this important
issue.
Proposals for papers are now being invited. The proposals can address any
issue of the subject from the perspective of media and cultural studies,
political science, sociology, anthropology and any related discipline. The
Symposium is likely to focus on areas such as media coverage of politics,
political communication in general (including marketing and campaigning),
trends in media output (including the impact of changes in ownership and
regulation), media and political culture, political alienation, voting
behaviour, campaigning and marketing etc.
Although the focus of the Symposium will be on the UK we would also be
interested in receiving proposals for papers which broaden the discussion
internationally.
It is intended to publish a book or a monograph as soon after the event as
possible.
Proposals should be sent to Ivor Gaber at [log in to unmask]
