Transforming audiences 2: creativity / knowledge / participation
3-4 September 2009, London, UK International The first Transforming Audiences conference, in September 2007, featured over 100 presentations by audience researchers from around the world. Transforming Audiences 2 signals its development as Europe's major recurring international conference for audience/user studies. There has never been a more exciting time for researchers interested in the place of media in people's lives. The growth of diverse online offerings and easy-to-use creative tools, coupled with the global economic downturn, has made traditional media and conventional broadcasters increasingly uncomfortable. Some critics are concerned about the future of 'quality' media for audiences to enjoy, but others celebrate this flourishing of non-elite, grassroots media.

The future of journalism
9-10 September 2009 International Following the success of The Future of Newspapers, the first Journalism Practice and Journalism Studies conference in 2007, the Cardiff School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies will host the next conference entitled The Future of Journalism in September 2009. The conference will consider the environments in which journalists work – across the various platforms of print, radio, television and online - that are changing rapidly in response to innovations in technology, increasingly competitive and fragmented markets for audiences and advertising revenues, government media policy and changing audience requirements for news and the ways in which it is presented and delivered. Venue: Cardiff School of Journalism, Cardiff, Wales, UK Topic: Media, communications and cultural policy More Information > Cardiff School of Journalism |
