This two-part preconference investigates the topical question of governance, focusing on the role
communication expertise and practices play in the way in which the idea is constructed and enacted by
government and business organizations. The second part of the conference will focus more closely on
corporate contexts and legitimacy by critically examining key assumptions about corporate social
responsibility (CSR). The conference begins in Scotland’s historic capital of Edinburgh at Queen
Margaret University, home to the Dialogue Centre. After a day of discussing stakeholder engagement and
dialogue – as well as experiencing some key aspects of Scottish culture – we transfer to London with new
perspectives to take forward in discussions of future directions for CSR communication research.

From “Foreign Propaganda” to “Cultural Soft Power”: Reading the National Regulations on Global Media
in China
Min Tang, U of Illinois, USA
There has been much discussion as to whether forces associated with globalization (economic, political,
cultural) weaken the capacity of nation-states to regulate media institutions and media content. These
debates intersect with the shift towards convergent digital media, with the associated rise of user-created
content, multi-platform content distribution, and moves from the mass communications paradigm that
dominated 20th century media policy. At the same time, arguments have been made that the scalar shift
towards media globalization has been overstated, and national governments remain key players in shaping
the media environment, with media corporations responding to the legal and policy frameworks they deal
with at a national level. This one-day preconference event will consider the relationship between global
communications and national policies from a multidisciplinary perspective, incorporating global media
studies, political economy, technology studies, and law and policy studies. This preconference event is
sponsored by the Communication and Media Research Institute, University of Westminster, with the
Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation. It is cosponsored by the Global Communications & Social Change Division, the Communications Law & Policy
Division, and the Communications & Technology Division of the ICA.

Preconference: New Histories of Communication Study
Sponsored Sessions
This preconference seeks to broaden, internationalize, and advance the history of communication study as
a family of overlapping configurations and practices. It aims to bring together scholars from ICA,
ECREA, IAMCR, and select rhetoric societies in an effort to stoke new, cross-national and cross-field
conversations about the study of communication in long and broad historical perspective. It aspires to
push the empirical and theoretical boundaries of histories and pre-histories of the field by attending to
overlooked research areas, emerging conceptual orientations, and new axes of understanding and
comparison among distinct traditions cutting across communication, media studies, cultural studies,
journalism, and rhetoric, among other fields—and across institutional, intellectual, social, cultural,
discursive, and material history.
Preconference: New Media, Old Media, Social Media: Changing South Asian Communications
Scholarship
Sponsored Sessions
Home to more than a billion and one half people, South Asia enjoys a shared history combined with a
unique cultural, religious, political, linguistic, and ethnic diversity. South Asian media reflects this
diversity through its cultural products, which are becoming increasingly popular throughout the region
and in other parts of the world. This 2-day preconference will explore the emerging media systems,
mediated publics and communications pedagogy in South Asia, in the context of the region’s growing
salience in the dynamics of globalization. It will cover a range of topics on new media as well as
conventional media, to provide a critical account of the media changes underway in South Asia and their
implications for national politics, regional political dynamics, public cultures and communications
scholarship. The preconference workshop will focus on themes of topical relevance for South Asia and for
ICA members studying the region, by combining invited presentations with an open call for papers for
each issue-specific panel.

Preconference: Transmedia Storytelling: Theories, Methods, and Research Strategies
Sponsored Sessions
Chairs
Indrek Ibrus, Tallinn U, ESTONIA
Carlos Alberto Scolari, U Pompeu Fabra, SPAIN
The objective of this preconference is to create an interdisciplinary environment for exchanging research
experiences on transmedia storytelling. 21st century media convergence processes – that could be
interpreted not only as a concentration of media ownership but as a complex series of operations that
involve technological, professional, and cultural aspects – have completely changed the traditional
communication landscape. In this context, many contemporary media productions are characterized by: 1)
the expansion of their narrative through different media (film, TV, comics, etc.) and platforms (blogs,
YouTube, etc.), and 2) the creation of user-generated contents that contribute to expanding the original
story. In 2003 Henry Jenkins defined such productions as transmedia storytelling. In this preconference
we place transmedia storytelling at the centre of a scientific exchange environment. Transmedia
storytelling is one of the main strategies of media companies, and a significant practice for the consumers
that cooperate in the expansion of a narrative. On the other side, transmedia storytelling is an
interdisciplinary research object that can be studied under different approaches: Media Studies, Political
Economy, Media Economics, Narratology, Ludology, Film Studies, Semiotics, Ethnography, etc.
International research on TS is expanding but it is still a fragmented field. This preconference will provide
a venue for innovative scholars from around the world who are doing research in exploring transmedia
storytelling.

Preconference: Beyond the Brand (Popular Communication Preconference)
Sponsored Sessions
Chairs
Devon Powers, Drexel U, USA
Melissa Aronczyk, Carleton U, CANADA
One of the most vital shifts in contemporary communication relates to the ways in which interpersonal
and public communication have been (re)located and transformed in increasingly promotional contexts.
The “work” of the brand is to stand at once for representation and identity, communication and control,
market and media. As concept, metaphor, technology and communicative logic, the brand is part popular
culture and part commerce, part personal and part collective, part rationality and part affect. It appears to
be everywhere even as it effectively seeks to hide its origins. What resources do scholars have to get
“beyond the brand”? How can we come up with more effective and trenchant definitions and analytical
tools to overcome the brand’s seeming ubiquity, and to defuse its apparent power in language and in
practice? The goal of this preconference is to develop resources and strategies in four thematic areas:
brands and methods/critique; brands, knowledge, and surveillance; brands and communities of resistance
(locally and transnationally); and brands and industrial/institutional change.

Media theory seems to have reached a moment in which it is effectively orthodox to presume we must pay
attention first and foremost to the intricacies of everyday experience. Studies of digital and networked
media, meanwhile, have put into question the very notion of ‘audiences’ as the starting point for
understanding mediated experience. For some, accounting for the intricacies of everyday mediated
experience has implied asking people what they actually do with media. But for others this is not enough:
instead, the question is what constitutes the conditions of media experience in the first place. Such
questions point to a renewed confidence in explaining not just how but also why media, technology and
communication are experienced as they are – all the while resisting a reversion to functionalism. These
interests in the very conditions of mediation suggest, if sometimes only implicitly, an emerging interest in
a phenomenology of media. Indeed, phenomenology – broadly the structuring of perception – has
seemingly obvious relevance for recent academic interests in media experience. Yet its use or invocation
in media studies has been scattered. This preconference seeks to bring together scholars from a very wide
range of perspectives – such as media history, media archaeology, audience studies, political theory,
metaphysics, software studies, science and technology studies, digital aesthetics, cultural geography and
urban studies – to reflect explicitly on the phenomenological groundings of their work on media.

Preconference: Multilingual and Multicultural Communication
Monday

V211
Sponsored Sessions
Recent research, including that by MERCATOR (The Fryske Akademy, The Netherlands) an
independent European Research Centre for Multilingualism, has begun to acknowledge multilingual
communication as a norm worldwide, with an increasing amount of research being focused on the
complexities underlying multilingualism in individual, developmental, and societal perspectives. With
this proposal, which is a joint enterprise of MERCATOR, the School of Oriential and Asian Studies
(University of London), the ICA-affiliated International Association of Language and Social Psychology,
and the ICA Intergroup Communication Interest Group, we aim to explore some of these recent trends
from an interdisciplinary perspective with insights from sociolinguistics, sociology, social psychology and
communication theory.

Every 2 years the division has sponsored its doctoral consortium to help socialize students as they move
toward finishing their degrees. This full-day workshop brings together doctoral students and faculty to
examine contemporary issues related to the development of our next generation of scholars. This is open
to all doctoral students, but targeted toward more advanced students who are dissertating and/or who are
about to finish coursework. As we hold our division’s first doctoral consortium outside the familiarity of
North America, it is appropriate to discuss various ways in which we must learn to expand our scholarly
comfort zone amid a variety of changes in our world. This preconference will use a diverse set of faculty
mentors to help doctoral students think through the promises (and perils) of various transitions that take us
beyond what may be most comfortable to us.

Although Journalism Studies has matured rapidly as a scholarly field in recent years, the question of the
attention it pays to its object of study globally remains a vexed one. Even the terminology of
‘internationalization’ is contested. The aim of this pre-conference, following on from the journalism
extended session organized by Stephanie Craft in Phoenix, is to explore why and how Journalism Studies
may become more routinely attuned to the multiplex nature of journalism through theorisation and
methodological practices. Its objective is to offer suggestions for enhancing the internationalization of the
field through individual scholarship and institutional infrastructure.

Preconference: The Objects of Journalism: Media, Materiality, and the News
Sponsored Sessions
Studying the “objects of journalism” involves looking at the role of actual things in the journalism
production process. This pre-conference aims at moving away from perspectives focusing on overarching
forces — be they of an economic, ideological or technical nature — as the main explanation of what
happens in the making of the news. Without denying the existence of such forces, the approach advocated
here tentatively explores the very material objects, sometimes seemingly innocuous or univocal, involved
in journalistic production. It is an effort, in other words, towards fully embodying a vast set of
heterogeneous objects that were or are enrolled in the making of the news: from the carrier-pigeon to
Google algorithms, from Remington typewriters to robot-journalism. Taking objects seriously strikes us
as being an approach towards which some very challenging research and researchers are currently
tending, but also as lacking a larger, unified framework for discussing potential items of research. We also
aim, finally, to help to facilitate discussion between those who scholars who might embrace this "material
turn" and those who might see it as a return to a realist ontology perhaps best left behind. In a word, this
preconference is concerned to reveal the very concrete materiality of journalism.

Preconference: Exploring and Remaking Critical Studies of Advertising
Sponsored Sessions
Few other areas of communication research are as ripe for reassessment and reformulation as is the critical
study of advertising. Current and impending practices of advertising have outstripped in many ways the
reach of traditional modes of critique. The purposes of this preconference program are to present and
discuss constitutive relationships between traditional critiques of advertising and the contexts of their
emergence; probe, discuss, and evaluate recent and emergent theoretical resources for more historically
responsive bases of a critical assessment of advertising in society; track, explain, and characterize changes
in the advertising ecosystem (including changing role of media planners, buyers, third-party ad networks,
data-mining companies, and online intermediaries; identify potential social and political implications due
to changes in the advertising industry; and explore and assess new or neglected critical approaches to
advertising.

This preconference produces a space for Feminist Communication scholars using or seeking to use new
media tools for activist agendas to dialogue on strategies in the areas of pedagogy, publishing and
networking. Reflecting the spirit of the ICA 2013 conference, “Challenging Communication Research,” it
“storms” traditional methods of pedagogy, publishing, mentoring, and networking, at the fulcrum where
feminist scholarship meets digital methods. It brings together two key networks using feminist methods
with agendas in publishing and pedagogy, FemBot and FemTechNet, which are led and facilitated by
leading Feminist Communication scholars. These groups, working in tandem and collaboratively, will
present their work to date, offering models for collaboration and creation. In the spirit of our work, the
preconference is facilitated by a diversity of speakers and dialogue leaders: academic and non-academic,
junior and senior, and from a range of institutions, nation states and ethnic, class and racial backgrounds.

The goal of this preconference is to shed light on the motivational aspects of digital games and gameplay,
how they relate to the ways in which games are used for entertainment and other purposes, the domains in
which they are applied, the challenges in their design and application, and the ways in which they are
studied. There will be three concurrent sessions of presentations scheduled for each hour. The roundtable
luncheon discussion will be facilitated by the preconference organization commitee with discussion topics
allocated for each round table. Participants will be asked to sit at a table of their interest to discuss the
allocated topic and exchange contact information with other participants. After the pre-conference, all
accepted extended abstracts, unless stated other vice by the presenter, will be published on ICA GSIG's
website and will be accessed by public free of charge.
The Communication and Technology (CAT) Division proudly announces the fourth Doctoral Consortium
to be held in conjunction with the 2013 Conference of the International Communication Association. The
consortium brings together PhD candidates working on Communication and Technology to give them the
opportunity to present and discuss their research in a constructive and international atmosphere. The goals
of the event are to provide feedback and advice to participating PhD candidates on their in-progress
research thesis. Moreover, the doctoral consortium will provide the opportunity to meet experts as well as
fellow PhD candidates from different backgrounds working on related topics. During the consortium,
students will be invited to present their work, following which they will receive feedback from their
fellow students and faculty participants, all of whom will have read the proposals in advance of the
Doctoral Consortium. In addition, at least one faculty participant will be assigned to respond in detail to
each proposal.

This preconference responds to the critical mass of communication researchers who have taken up
biological explanations, and seeks to bring together researchers under the explicit umbrella of our field
and our questions. The preconference brings together scholars who are working across subfields of
communication studies and use evolutionary theory, biological explanations as well as neuroscience and
other biological measures to address core questions in communication studies. Most importantly, the
preconference participants will share new data and ideas and discuss a vision for how communication
studies can best leverage such new theorizing and study paradigms moving forward. The main theme of
this pre-conference is that models and relationships discovered throughout the history of our field must
continue to play an important role in our thinking, but those models and relationships must be updated to
reflect current scientific thinking.

communication expertise and practices play in the way in which the idea is constructed and enacted by
government and business organizations. The second part of the conference will focus more closely on
corporate contexts and legitimacy by critically examining key assumptions about corporate social
responsibility (CSR). The conference begins in Scotland’s historic capital of Edinburgh at Queen
Margaret University, home to the Dialogue Centre. After a day of discussing stakeholder engagement and
dialogue – as well as experiencing some key aspects of Scottish culture – we transfer to London with new
perspectives to take forward in discussions of future directions for CSR communication research.

Preconference: New Histories of Communication Study
Sponsored Sessions
This preconference seeks to broaden, internationalize, and advance the history of communication study as
a family of overlapping configurations and practices. It aims to bring together scholars from ICA,
ECREA, IAMCR, and select rhetoric societies in an effort to stoke new, cross-national and cross-field
conversations about the study of communication in long and broad historical perspective. It aspires to
push the empirical and theoretical boundaries of histories and pre-histories of the field by attending to
overlooked research areas, emerging conceptual orientations, and new axes of understanding and
comparison among distinct traditions cutting across communication, media studies, cultural studies,
journalism, and rhetoric, among other fields—and across institutional, intellectual, social, cultural,
discursive, and material history.

Including keynote addresses from Professor Sonia Livingstone and Professor Kirsten Drotner, this preconference looks back at the past 50 years of audience research to ask - in what ways can insights from
the field be applied, carried over or at least communicated to researchers working elsewhere? Such an
approach places the tradition of audience research into a direct dialogue with other trajectories
communication scholars walk on. For instance, for the scholar of communication technologies, the textreader metaphor that lies at the heart of audience reception becomes a tool worthy of interest in the face of
discussions about technologies as texts or the affordances and appropriation of technologies. But just as
we take note of the retention-worthiness of insights and concepts from audience research, we need to also
question these – which insights need updating in the age of media convergence? What can audience
research as a field do, to communicate itself better to researchers elsewhere?

Preconference: New Media, Old Media, Social Media: Changing South Asian Communications
Scholarship
Sponsored Sessions
Home to more than a billion and one half people, South Asia enjoys a shared history combined with a
unique cultural, religious, political, linguistic, and ethnic diversity. South Asian media reflects this
diversity through its cultural products, which are becoming increasingly popular throughout the region
and in other parts of the world. This 2-day preconference will explore the emerging media systems,
mediated publics and communications pedagogy in South Asia, in the context of the region’s growing
salience in the dynamics of globalization. It will cover a range of topics on new media as well as
conventional media, to provide a critical account of the media changes underway in South Asia and their
implications for national politics, regional political dynamics, public cultures and communications
scholarship. The preconference workshop will focus on themes of topical relevance for South Asia and for
ICA members studying the region, by combining invited presentations with an open call for papers for
each issue-specific panel.

Given the crises of funding, legitimacy and accountability facing media systems across the world, there
are currently unprecedented opportunities for media reform: for re-imagining, restructuring, and reviving
our means of communication in the public interest. In Mexico, activists in the Yo Soy 132 movement
have taken to the streets to protest the power of the main broadcast networks and to call for media
democratization. Governments across Latin America have responded to the partisan political role of media
conglomerates by passing progressive legislation on media ownership. In the UK, activists in Hacked Off
and the Coordinating Committee for Media Reform have faced down the power of News Corporation in
the context of the phone hacking scandal by launching important campaigns to secure ethical journalism
and challenge media concentration. This international pre-conference will highlight efforts across a range
of countries to build vibrant and viable media reform movements and offer all participants the chance to
reflect on the strategies required to grow and sustain campaigns for media democracy.

Jochen Peter, U of Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS
As for many international academic associations, ICA employs English as the primary language for
scholarly publication and exchange. The advantages of using a single language to share ideas and
research findings are obvious. Challenges are equally apparent, notably the potential to disadvantage
scholars for whom English is a second language and who may be less familiar with the norms of how
scholarly articles are structured in such journals. The purpose of this preconference is to review these
issues and provide guidance regarding publication in such journals, from journal editors, reviewers, and
from scholars for whom English is a second language, who have had substantial success publishing in the
major English language communication journals. This preconference is intended primarily to serve
younger faculty and graduate students, or more senior faculty, planning or beginning to publish in
English-language journals. It should also be of interest to native English-speaking scholars who are more
senior, and serving or likely to serve as journal editors or active editorial board members, as well as to
native English-speaking graduate students who might benefit from an in-depth discussion of journal
publication issues.

Public relations scholars have thus far reflected very little on the use and abuse of communication
technologies, on public relations’ role in such use and abuse, on the potential of these technologies for
development communication as well as on those who use them and on their motivations for doing so. A
critical need exists for a more thorough discussion that examines the historical development of
communication technologies and their use, both by organizations and by those who represent the interests
of organizations, i.e., public relations practitioners, and by these organizations’ publics. The goal of this
preconference program is to bring together scholars of public relations and social media in a forum to
examine a broad range of perspectives on this phenomenon and to explore the impact of communication
technologies for public relations from a more critical perspective.

Respondent
Andrew F. Hayes, Ohio State U, USA
On May 10, 2006, Google launched Google Trends (GT, http://www.google.com/trends/). Based on
searches conducted on Google, this public web tool allows researchers to assess how often a particular
search term has been entered into the Google search engine relative to the total search volume. GT results
are represented as plot graphs or can be downloaded as comma-separated values (CSV) files. GT provides
search volume data across time periods (from 2004 to present), various regions, and languages.
Communication researchers from various subfields have recently used aggregate search data as an
indicator for a variety of studies. Today there is an ever-growing amount of research evidence that GT
provides valuable insights into human behavior. The rationale of this panel is to bring together researchers
from various disciplines, such as political communication, science communication and forecasting. We
believe that aggregate search behavior studies can deepen the understanding of online communication and
that, therefore, the panel has much to offer to the communication community.

Northwestern University in Qatar is conducting a large survey assessing media consumption patterns in
eight Arab countries (Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates,
and Jordan). The data will be collected by Harris Interactive in mid-November 2012, and will include
feedback from roughly 10,000 respondents. Northwestern University in Qatar has assembled a panel of
scholars to discuss some of the findings and patterns at ICA’s 2013 convention in London. Panelists will
discuss the findings both in light of prior research on media use in the Arab world, as well as in the
tailwind of the region’s recent, and ongoing, uprisings. The panel will take place over a standard 75-90

Popular media entertainment programs reach large sections of the public and can be a powerful vehicle for
the promotion of healthy and sustainable lifestyles, social and ethnic tolerance. In both Western and nonWestern countries, a number of organizations have sought ways to incorporate health and other prosocial
issues into diverse entertainment formats (prime time television, radio soap operas or web series). This
concept is commonly referred to as ‘the entertainment-education (EE) strategy.’ This panel explores the
collaboration processes between communication scholars, creative media professionals, and subject matter
specialists in designing and implementing innovative and effective EE strategies.

Inaki Garcia-Blanco, Cardiff U, UNITED KINGDOM
The financial crisis of the Eurozone has been at the centre of public debate as one of the biggest
challenges Europe has faced. Originating in structural economic causes, the crisis has been rapidly spilled
into the cultural domain and transformed into a political and ideological struggle manifested in the
interests of different countries and often expressed through national stereotypes. Debates about the crisis
have moved beyond its economic nature to (re-)negotiate the very meaning (and nature) of the European
Union, its idea(l)s and practices. The present panel examines the mediation of the crisis, to shed light onto
its cultural dimension and the negotiations of its meaning through symbolic and political practices in
different European contexts.

Municipalities around the world have taken on the issue of noise. Noise level standards and noise
abatement requirements are in effect in many cities. Part of our public experience is an encounter with
sounds, yet noise pollution and nuisance are increasingly associated with environments of public
communication. Sound amplification systems enhance, but may also be perceived as a form of
aggression. Entering the public realm can result in listening to imposed “music,” advertising, or other
undesired audio programs. A cellphone call can lead to being put on hold and forced to listen to
recordings, making the caller a captive audience. Pitch correction in live performance is commonplace,
raising issues of authenticity. One person’s music is another person’s noise. One person’s improvement
is another person’s manipulation. Technological delights of communication reveal the delicate balance of
sense ratios in a technological age. This panel will explore the diverse practices and technologicallyrooted changes in the public soundscape.

communicative constitution of boundaries. In the spirit of the 2013 ICA conference theme, “Challenging
Communication Research,” this panel will explore this question by investigating the challenges involved
in using organizational boundaries to create a simultaneous sense of inclusivity and exclusivity. The panel
will bring together a set of expert international scholars from various continents of the world whose

This panel addresses tensions and challenges for effective communication about men’s health issues. Men
are perceived as to be more indifferent towards their health when compared to the efforts of women who
proactively and publicly address their health issues. The levels of awareness, understanding and
sometimes funding for men’s health issues lag behind other causes. This panel focuses on two health
issues: prostate cancer and HIV. Specifically, this panel will consider issues relate to prevention and
screening, stereotypes about men’s health communication, linkages to information and providers, and
stigma. The central theme of this panel is the issue of communication networks and how men are or are
not connected to key sources of information and support as well as key resources.

Ethnography in Sociocultural PR Research: Benefits, Challenges, and Alternatives
Mathis Danelzik, U of Tübingen, GERMANY
In recent years, various authors have identified a turn in Public Relations towards socio-cultural
approaches to research. These approaches have been welcomed as a complement to the traditional
functional paradigm, taking the understanding of public relations beyond organizational boundaries.
However, while they may open up new horizons for PR thinking and research, they also bring challenges.
The advantage of a clearly defined research paradigm such as Excellence in PR, is that it permits a clear
focus for the allocation of resources and an agenda for research and teaching. In contrast, the sociocultural turn is complex and varied. A wide range of theories are relevant, each offering different
directions for development. While intellectually inspiring, such diversity runs the risk of fragmenting the
field and detracting from its academic identity. This panel engages with these dilemmas and considers
whether the socio-cultural turn is capable of constituting a ‘paradigm’, in the traditional sense.

The ordinary as an unmarked reference to ‘the people’ and a performance marked by ethnic, racial, class
and caste hierarchies has permeated popular communication since well before Raymond Williams
commented on it in “Culture Is Ordinary” some 50 years ago. This panel will interrogate the ordinary and
its rules of performance and representation across types of media production and their genres. Ultimately
we show precisely how vexed and, at the same time, useful the idea(l) of ordinariness is.

regarding the challenges and methodologies of Visual Communication research. The overarching theme
of this roundtable is that of narrative, the conveyance of story through the medium of imagery: in film,
documentary, photography, and cultural narratives surrounding a series of discrete images. Informal and
free-flowing dialogue on the topic of methodologies and the particular challenges inherent within studying
the type of media under examination will follow each presentation, with the overarching goal of
advancing the research presented in this roundtable to the next level, in professional development,
preparing for future conferences, and preparing for publication.

The proliferation of new media and information technologies over the last 30 years has captured the
interest and imagination of communication scholars across the discipline, helping to move the concept of
“network” to the forefront of theorizing and empirical study in diverse corners of the field. In this plenary
session, a group of prominent scholars considers the long-term intellectual influence – what might be
called the archaeology – of network thought, theory and methods in the communication discipline.

Forty years ago communication technologies were thought of as central media institutions that spoke to
national-popular audiences within the frame of the nation state. National newspapers and broadcasting
systems defined ‘the media’ in many countries. These ‘old media’ now sit alongside a host of new media
that did not exist back then. All interact with each other today. All have contributed to the structural
transformation of the contemporary worldwide public sphere. All have contributed to reconfiguring
identity politics. The meaning of identity, the character of public life and the impact of global
connectivity have been constant concerns in our field in continually changing circumstances. The panel
reflects on how they have been thought, how they are now thought and how they might be thought as the
field continues its journey looking back to the future.

practitioners in a number of countries. By combining various global perspectives, this panel will provide
an agenda for organizational communication scholars to make an impact on the existing bodies of
research in disaster and emergency response. In addition to our individual research papers and
presentations, we will provide attendees with a five-page summary of the most relevant research that can
substantiate our arguments for the value of this research focus. Over half of this complied research will be
from outside of the communication discipline; thus, the panel will also incorporate a multidisciplinary
perspective on this topic. Panel members will also propose their top directions for future research and
they will share best practices observed in diverse parts of the world.

The World Health Organization’s (WHO) Commission on the Social Determinants of Health stressed in
its 2008 report that, “where people live affects their health and chances of leading flourishing lives.
Communities and neighborhoods that ensure access to basic goods, that are socially cohesive, that are
designed to promote good physical and psychological well-being, and that are protective of the natural
environment are essential for health equity.” Communication as a discipline is underrepresented in this
body of work and, more significantly, the role of communication as a social process in urban
communities’ health is understudied. In this context, the Urban Communication Foundation (UCF)
convenes a panel of scholars from four different institutions conducting research in very different urban
contexts across the world to discuss the realized and potential contributions of communication theory and
research to the multidisciplinary literature on health and the city.

Daniel C. Hallin and Paolo Mancini’s Comparing Media Systems and its 2012 companion volume
Comparing Media Systems: Beyond the Western World has helped spark a wave of comparative research
in journalism studies, but also raised new challenges and been subject to much criticism for the particular
ways in which the authors conceptualize media systems, the empirical approaches they suggest, and the
hypotheses they formulate concerning how they change over time (see for instance Norris 2009, Curran
2010, Hardy 2011, and Humphreys 2012). This panel is dedicated to the theoretical challenges involved in
comparing media systems and in understanding the changing institutional preconditions such systems
provide for professional journalism around the world.

The issue of pathological gaming remains debated and discussed within the research community and
general public. Given the potential for moral panic, good information may often be lost among the bad.
This panel will address several of the major controversies in the field, such as the prevalence of
pathological gaming, how pathological gaming may be best defined and assessed, whether pathological
gaming arises from qualities of games, players or both, and whether pathological gaming should be
considered as synonymous with chemical addictions as is often implied by media depictions and by some
scholars. Several leading scholars will have the opportunity to present recent breakthroughs in this field
as well as to debate these topics among each other and with the attending audience.

Popular Communication made its debut in 2003 as an independent, but affiliated, journal of the ICA.
Editors Sharon Mazarella and Norma Pecora stated in their editors’ introduction to the first issue that a
primary intellectual challenge of the journal was to break free of the productivist bias of the media studies
of its time and to investigate the ways in which “communication is ‘made popular.’” This panel brings
together the new editors of Popular Communication to discuss the journal’s history of documenting the
culture-communication analytic and consider future directions.

Worldwide, the general public and mainstream media remain skeptical that the media play any role in
crucial child health areas like aggression, obesity, or early sexual activity, despite more than 50 years of
research and thousands of research studies that say otherwise. An international panel will discuss the
current state-of-the –art knowledge about 3 crucial areas in child and adolescent health – aggression, sex,
and obesity – and what can be done to communicate the significant findings to a currently non-believing
public. Emphasis will be placed on evidence-based conclusions regarding these key health-related areas,
as well as what aspects of the research can or can not be successfully disseminated to the general public.
Other public relations obstacles – including the presumed "Fairness Doctrine" in U.S.media – will be
discussed as well.

In this panel the results of comparing the differences in the strategies and innovations adopted by the daily
newspapers in Russia, Germany, Austria and Finland will be presented. The presentation focuses to
question, where do the newspaper publishers seek innovations for converged platforms, what are the
elements of new business models of newspapers, and how does this affect newspaper production chain
and contact with readers as well as economic and financial performance of major, regional and local
dailies. The panel will identify common challenges that news media organizations face everywhere, while
also taking into account differences in audience demand, market structure and business practices between
these countries. By comparing the strategies and experiences of daily newspapers in these countries, the
panel will offer a better understanding of the dynamics and implications of current technological, social
and economic transformations associated with media convergence.

The main aim of this panel, drawing on case studies from the US, Austria and the Nordic countries, is to
discuss the contradictory status of journalism as both a “scandal machine” and a “watchdog” that often
ignores serious political misdeeds that could lead to political revelations of importance for democracy. We
also point to how politicians may provoke mediated scandals in order to influence the public agenda.

Soft Power: Political Narrative and the Scale of Group Identities
John Hartley, Curtin U, AUSTRALIA
The political process is underpinned by political narrative. It is at one and the same time true (news) and
fictional (drama), universal (one represents all) and adversarial (we are different from they). Narratives
create the polity, literally through electoral campaigns and founding stories (the U.S. Declaration of
Independence), and imaginatively through the stories told within news and popular culture. Political
narratives, furthermore, are the mechanisms by which individuals are ‘recruited’ to citizenship, and
through which the polity comes to ‘see’ itself and its relationship to others. Despite the importance of
political narratives, they are understudied in political communication research.

relationship between these concepts as they apply to the field of communications for scholarship in the
current era. The panel members are diverse in terms of their own research topics, use of research
methodologies, and their affiliations with communication programs across the United States, Europe and

history. This panel demonstrates the profound influence of commercial strategy, competitive pressures,
and organizational forces in the development of two major twentieth-century enterprises: the North
American newspaper business and the consumer surveillance industry. Together, the panelists underscore
the parallel concerns of communication and business historians and suggest common thematic, analytical,

As media platforms, formats and technologies both proliferate and converge, it has become increasingly

presentations in this panel will discuss ways in which we might construct theoretical bridges between
approaches to ‘old’ and ‘new’ media in a context where the media is no longer necessarily addressing a
mass audience, when the precise make up of its structure, economy and use is increasingly reflective of a
range of local, national, and regional conditions, and when the comprehensiveness of traditional accounts
can no longer be taken for granted.

This roundtable will address the lexicon of concepts feminist media scholarship has used to describe the
“post”-feminist situation, contextualized within each scholar’s theoretical contribution to this discussion,
and their ongoing research on the issue. Scholars will address the questions of how a feminist political
agenda, with reference to specific issues they have researched, is or is not possible in the current cultural
and economic climate; how feminist media studies can transcend the postfeminist paradigm as we move
into a more global framework and a world-wide recession economy; whether postfeminism describes only
a “western” situation, and what theoretical alternatives might be found.

Questions remain, both conceptually and empirically, as to how opinion leadership configures itself, and
potentially changes, in this new media environment. What exactly does it mean when media increasingly
penetrate interpersonal communication and when the communication to family and friends – which
protects ‚opinion followers’ from media effects in the classic model of opinion leadership – becomes
mediatized? What effects does it have when internet and social media offer apparently direct interactions
with other individuals, including celebrities and experts, and potentially pave the way for new forms of
virtual or parasocial opinion leadership. How can this be incorporated in the existing concept(s) of opinion
leadership, and in turn, how do they have to adapt to these new developments? These questions will be
tackled in the proposed panel.

the role of tension, contradiction, and paradox in managing modern day “wicked” problems; and the
future of cross paradigm work and multiple methodologies. In short, amidst lively and spirited debate, we

“modernization” of campaign communication to analyze the coverage by the news media – or better: to
analyze the content of the news media, as the panel includes political ads as well, for the reason that such
ads allow parties and candidates to speak directly to voters via the media.

Conference intends to present and analyze Latin American perspectives on Communication and Media
Studies. We also aim to establish a permanent dialogue on interregional activities and common projects
among International Communication Researchers´ organizations (IAMCR, ICA, ECREA, and ALAIC)
and their members. We argue that Latin American urban communication research needs to formulate new
questions and methodological approaches that will be at the forefront of new urban questioning.

Danger: Power & Choice in Heterosexual Relationships, featuring social and developmental psychologist
and author Lynn Phillips. Phillips, who has taught in the Department of Communication at the University
of Massachusetts since 2005, conducted interviews with hundreds of young women about their
relationships and hookups. The film features dramatizations of these interviews, which, together with
images from popular culture and analysis from Phillips, examines how the wider culture's frequently
contradictory messages about pleasure, danger, agency, and victimization enter into women's most
intimate relationships with men.

that incorporate social media to reach a so-called “global” audiences. The panel is based on an

As journalism changes in a converging media environment, traditional institutions of media selfregulation and accountability are facing many problems: press councils often fail to address the new
challenges imposed by digitalization processes, few critical reporting about the mass media is being done
in the media, and ombudspersons remain an anomaly in the international media landscape. At the same
time, the Internet offers new impulses to the endeavor of holding the media accountable: in many
instances, cyber-ombudsmen, media blogs and media criticism via Twitter or Facebook have
demonstrated their potential as a means for improving journalistic performance. These questions are
currently being tackled by an EU-funded international research consortium which involves 14 partners
from Western and Eastern Europe as well as the Arab world. In the proposed panel, members of the
consortium present hitherto unpublished findings from the ongoing project, focusing on the results of a
comparative journalists’ survey in all 14 participating countries.

Calling upon new primary document research, this panel examines the legacy of cultural and regulatory
debates surrounding the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, which created a self-regulating federal
infrastructure for educational and noncommercial programming. This panel complicates dominant
narratives of broadcast history by looking at the concurrent development and implementation of the
noncommercial public sphere as it reached fruition during the Great Society era.

Respondent
Michael Andrew Xenos, U of Wisconsin, USA
This panel both calls for and offers state-of-the-art examples of systematic normative assessment in
political communication research. Systematic normative assessment is proposed as a standard procedure
for empirical research in political communication. It essentially involves systematically deriving
evaluative standards from normative democratic theories and using these to subject empirical results to
normative evaluation in order to more clearly understand which results seem problematic or laudable
according to which democratic theory. Ideally, systematic normative assessment is multiperspectival, i.e.
it specifies evaluative standards from competing democratic theories. While normative thinking does have
a tradition in the field of political communication, on closer inspection normative judgments often remain
implicit or ad hoc. Empirical scholarship can benefit from explicit connections to normative thinking in
several ways.

features leading scholars from the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and the United States in an
assessment of the development of research on media and sport. Each of these panelists is recognized as a
key figure in the scholarly development of media, communication, and sport as an area of inquiry and

world. Each panelist has published numerous major works that have been influential to the study of
media and sport and brings broad experiences that have spanned media, sport, and cultural studies.
Looking back and looking forward, each paper considers why the study of media and sport is important,
the nature of the scholarly journey that has enabled the growth of research in this area, the promises and
prospects for key topic areas within the larger area of study, and future needs and directions in the
research agenda.

Similar to good reporting, each of the papers on this panel goes off the beaten trail to examine the
message environment that enables voters to engage with campaign messages. Centering on efforts within
mainstream news media, these message environments include tweets mainstream journalists communicate
during the party conventions, metacoverage in mainstream news that aims to cover the mediated
environment itself, the veritable smorgasbord of links on online news sites, the gendered portrayals by
mainstream news media of political parties themselves, and the televised nonverbal behaviors that
candidates communicate when talking to voters via mass media. Collectively, these papers tell the story
of campaigns that matters most—the story of how the press in its various guises connects people to
candidates and campaign organizations, while informing the electorate in subtle and symbolic ways.

Blurring boundaries between fact and fiction, authenticity and performativity, public service and
commercialism, subject and celebrity, and viewer and participant, reality television raises new questions
and demands new theoretical tools from scholars. This panel showcases “post-representational” methods
for analyzing reality television’s complicated relationship to class difference and class inequality. Our aim
is not to re-theorize reality television in ontological terms, but rather to consider how the surge of reality
television entertainment pushes the boundaries of existing modes of critical media analysis.

How do young people, especially children, engage with news discourse? To what extent does this
engagement shape the construction of their personal identities as citizens? These two questions signal the
agenda informing this panel’s mode of enquiry. Its aim is to shift the focus of current debates – typically
framed within the realm of adults – regarding journalism, political socialization and participation in the
public sphere. More specifically, it will explore the complex ways in which the news media influence
young people’s civic cultures, including their incipient sense of citizenship, social responsibility and
empathy with distant others.

Political communication scholarship needs to “update” its focus to incorporate newly emerging concepts,
which become salient for citizens, stakeholders and governments. This panel focuses on three such
concepts: (1) reputation, (2) trust and (3) control. These concepts have been present in communication
research in general and in political communication research in particular. Yet the current sociopolitical
context internationally has recently underscored their ever increasing importance to research that aims to
understand and improve the interactions between governments and citizens, the citizens themselves,
various social groups, journalist and politicians and the media and audiences.

In the past decade, an emerging set of career practices and expectations, deeply rooted in creative and
cultural industries, has rapidly spread across sectors. These norms prize personal entrepreneurism and
blur lines between work and life, global and local, risk and opportunity. They have transformed economic
structures in music, journalism and other cultural fields. Understanding this complex interplay between
communication, norms and structure requires innovative, interdisciplinary approaches: Such a shift in
tactics is profoundly important as these employment modes spread to knowledge work in general,
reshaping patterns of opportunity, equality and self-expression. By reaching across fields, this panel
explores those relationships in a rich and productive theoretical context.

Increasingly, digital games are being designed not simply to prepare youth for civic life, but to immerse
people of all ages directly in civic participation. This panel brings together game designers and scholars to
advance our understanding of games for civic learning and engagement. By convening panelists with
experience in game design and research on ICTs and civic engagement, the panel will foster dialogue
between practitioners and scholars. The panel will stimulate discussion among participants by circulating
papers before the conference and asking each panelist to comment on useful aspects of each other’s work.
To spark discussion with the audience, the last 15 minutes of the panel will be devoted to discussion with
attendees, instead of a traditional discussant.

This panel discussion focuses on coverage of the Euro Crisis and its implications. In response to the crisis
a large-scale comparative research project involving communications research teams in 10 European
nations developed and has been exploring how differences in coverage, media systems, and journalistic
practices have affected portrayals of the crisis and public perceptions of the crisis and European
institutions. The panel will present results relating to how differences in media system and journalistic
practice affected coverage, variations in how the roots and responsibility for the crisis were conveyed,
how the European Commission and European Central Bank were portrayed and the implications for
integration, and the metaphors used to describe the events. The study and the panel’s approach are solidly
cast within comparative media research theories and approaches and media effects theories.

Despite the absence, or scant presence, of policies facilitating the expression of dissent and the use of
media for social change, movements have used whatever spaces are available to mobilize dissent and to
create pressure for sociopolitical change. The questions that the participants in this panel will explore are:
1) how do chosen forms of social and community media transform local politics and movements? 2) Is
there something intrinsic in particular forms of media that leads to success in activism? 3) Since terms
given to successful mobilizations are unabashedly celebratory, such as “facebook revolution” for the
Tunisian Arab Spring, what part of the story of interpersonal and local dynamics, including media
dynamics, is not being told?

Much of that scholarship on the affective turn in communication has focused on the relationship of affect
between bodies and has often essentialized it as post-semiotic, pre-conscious and liberatory. This panel
aims to direct affect scholarship toward networked bodies mediated by communication technologies.
While accounting for the possible liberatory aspects of affective effects, the papers in this panel also
critically explore the ways in which affect is used for population control.

The purpose of this panel is to invite international scholars to critically reflect upon "what is going on"
with Communication Studies in their countries and regions, from a variety of perspectives: theoretical/
methodological, philosophical/epistemological, cultural/intercultural, spiritual, practical, political, or
educational. The following questions are also suggested as a framework for discussion: What are
intellectual approaches and traditions to studying and understanding communication in your country?
How is this understanding represented in national social discourses and metadiscourses? How do you
view the status and role of CS in social science and humanities in your country? What are prospects or
constraints in the development of the discipline? What is the role of national researchers and practitioners
(educators and policy-makers) in the formation of the discipline? We suggest that, considering the
potentially world-wide scope of the suggested topic, it would be beneficial to include this session into the
program of the ICA's virtual conference and to offer it as a live streaming session.

This panel focuses on reality TV shows as a popular symbolic form, providing an opportunity to look
contextually at how the shows are national products that animate popular conceptions of gender and
femininity. The panelists examine the ways in which the images are global and local, in particular in terms
of playing out patriarchal norms – resisting and reinforcing these. The panel invites us to think of reality
TV’s ubiquity as socially specific and contingent, and also irrefutably important in understanding how
popular television engages and remaps gender roles and relations.

Accumulating Affect: Social Networks and Their Archives of Feelings
Jennifer Pybus, McMaster U, CANADA
Facebook has both expanded and intensified social relations in an unprecedented manner while
developing a new market paradigm for extracting value from the voluminous social data generated
therein. Existing conceptual frames offer partial understanding. Convergence and/or Web 2.0 clarify the
quotidian conflation of work and play, and new mediated cultural practices where consumption elides
with production. Also, the Foucauldian concept of biopower offers a robust analysis of how the everyday
life of the social body has become a focus of power and value. Yet key elements, such as social data,
affective relations, and the specific materialities of the platform in which it transpires, demand a sustained
theoretical focus and critique. Our panel will draw on its strong body of international research to offer
four highly resonant but unique lines of critical inquiry into the conflation of social and economic
relations in social networks.

The Structures and Practices of Multimodal Online Discourse
Christian Volker Pentzold, Chemnitz U of Technology, GERMANY
This panel will bring together experts from different research centres on multimodal discourse from
Germany, England and Italy to present different disciplinary approaches on multimodal online
communication. Therefore the four presentations refer to quite different theoretical traditions: to
functional linguistics and socio-semiotics (Adam/Kress), to audience research and reception theory
(Bucher; Niemann), to theories of public communication (Niemann; Pentzold), to discourse theory and
ethnography (Pentzold). The panel will discuss theoretical and empirical approaches and exemplify them
with case studies on weblogs dealing with food issues, political online communication, websites from
welfare organizations, online newspapers and online news media. The intention of the panel is first to
present the theoretical tools for analyzing online-communication as multimodal discourse and second to
demonstrate the potentials of a multimodal approach to the Internet.

be explored in different research settings and while relating to diverse groups defined by different
parameters: national, ethnic, language, political and cultural - with special attention to the emergence of
hybrid identities through different societal processes and dynamics such as intergroup conflict, conflict
resolution and integration. In this framework we will also discuss and reassess methodologies and
practices such as the narrative approach, discourse analysis and ethnographic studies, through which
construction of identities through intergroup communication is studied as well as their societal and ethical
entailment

the 1860s and 1960s, concluding with a reflection on how knowledge about this evolution is created. The
case studies examine the varying roles of national interest and corporate strategy – two of the major

Accumulating Legitmacy: Digital Networks and the Documentation of Dreams
Radha S. Hegde, New York U, USA
New media practices and convergence culture shape the spheres and structures where citizenship and
belonging are re-negotiated. Bordering capabilities of digitalization and globalization shift understandings
of binaries such as the national/ global, private/ public, and professional/ amateur. While newer pathways
of migration are emerging, nations are enforcing stricter versions of border control and regulating
citizenship. On the ground, cultural citizenship is increasingly shaped in popular and more participatory
forms of communication and narratives of migration are being shaped through newer forms and networks
of sociality. The intersection of digital technology and migration has opened up a vibrant area of study.
This panel hopes to contribute and extend this discussion by exploring the ways in which citizenship is
defined, performed and communicated in the global context.

interrogates the social media intelligence work that is undertaken in the name of big data, big business and
big brother. In so doing, it draws together approaches from surveillance studies, Marxism, critical
advertising studies, the philosophy of technology and social media usage studies to reflect key issues in

In 2011, urban protest camps and occupations captured the world’s attention and imagination. From
Tahrir Square to the tent city of Tel Aviv, from the encampments of the Los Indignados in Spain to the
Occupy movement, enduring protests arose to demand democracy and fight austerity measures. This
session seeks to examine some of the forms in which communication took place in these recent and
contemporary expressions of protest camps, and related social movement spaces. The panel will explore
how communication strategies arise and are implemented, and how practices become innovated and
reified in the protesters’ diverse communication spaces, both real and mediated.

Conversation Analysis is the study of how social action is brought about through the close organisation of
talk. It can be applied, but the term 'Applied Conversation Analysis' has various shades of meaning. This
panel reports studies in which CA has been applied to practical institutional problems as they play out in
interaction, with the intention of bringing about some sort of change. Although much profitable work
emerged, the engagement with the practitioners was not always trouble-free, and the panelists will explain
some of the difficulties - ethical, legal and scholarly - that beset intervention research.

This panel examines the ways in which Muslim identity is constructed as essentially intolerant, extremist
and radical in recent European and US media and policy discussions of multiculturalism, freedom of
expression, and national security. It proposes that formations of anti-Muslim racism rest on a dialectical
exchange between the rightwing extreme and the mainstream of the media and political elites. It further
suggests that these formations of racism feed the notion that multiculturalism is in crisis and limit the
rights and freedoms of Muslim citizens.

Women journalists are caught in a confluence of local world events that is not of their making but which
shapes their work lives nonetheless. This panel identifies some of these events – what we characterize as
“historical shifts”—and explores how these shifts are affecting women’s occupational status and ability to
do their work as reporters. The scope of concerns for panelists is intentionally broad to enable them to
look within their own nations and regions of Lebanon/Arab states, South Africa/Africa, Sweden/Nordic
Europe, and Romania/Eastern Europe in applying the concept of “historical shifts” to women’s
journalistic practice .

Given the pervasive presence of media in our daily lives, the important question presents itself as to how
so-called “new” media – and the implications of technological changes for “old” media – affect our lives
and society. In this context, the European Science Foundation (ESF) Media Studies Forward Look has
drawn up a strategic research and science policy agenda for Media Studies for the next 5 to 10 years.
Concrete recommendations for actions, which have been discussed with relevant science policy and
funding organizations, practitioners, technological developers and other stakeholders from across Europe,
will be discussed.

The primary aim of this panel is to address issues of public engagement with science found in the
conceptual space between science communication and science education. In this panel, we address three
issues. These include information seeking, the nature of the media-based knowledge about science, and
the role of the nature of scientific practice. The second goal is to bring these two perspectives together to
reconsider related to public engagement with science according to research on aspects of educational and
communications research.

Lilie Chouliaraki, London School of Economics and Political Science, UNITED KINGDOM
An emerging field within humanities and social sciences concerns itself with the issue of distant suffering.
Also within communication and media studies, an increasing number of scholars have contributed to a
rich and diverse body of work on public perceptions of mediated, distant suffering and its socio-political
significance. However, this mostly theoretical literature has not yet been matched with substantial
empirical efforts. In particular, there is a striking scarcity of empirical studies of audiences’ reactions to
and interpretations of mediated suffering (Höijer, 2004; Wilkinson, 2005; Ong, 2009). Cottle (2009)
further refers to the need for closer empirical engagement with this field, refined concepts and further
analytical distinctions. This panel answers some of these calls by presenting ongoing research and
simultaneously setting out future research agendas.

Michael G. Lacy, DePaul U, USA
Over the course of the last three decades neoliberalism, with its focus on deregulation, free markets,
hyper-consumerism, and the conflation of capitalism and democracy, has successfully entrenched itself as
the most dominant socio-political discourse of the Global North. Throughout this progression proponents
of this discourse have employed a range of strategies—including brutal state-sanctioned repression,
geographic displacement, economic coercion, and cultural co-optation—to quell resistance and push
forward their agendas. This panel seeks to illuminate some of the ways that neoliberal discourse flows
through the mediated spaces and cultural spheres of subordinated groups. By interrogating rap lyrics,
tourist city residents, grass roots multimedia storytelling, and street-dance contributing scholars endeavor
to add to deeper understandings of the imposition of and resistance to neoliberal ideals amongst urban
youth.

Keren Natalie Darmon, London School of Economics and Political Science, UNITED KINGDOM
This panel this seeks to address some of the gaps in the existing literature relating to the changes in
political communication brought about by social media. The first is the gender gap: to assume that
political women and men (both elected officials and activists) occupy equal positions in society, and that
any differences between them are due to personal, individual even biological characteristics, ignores
structural social, political and cultural processes. The second is the political representation gap: research
on women’s presence in the political sphere shows that women often adopt a different communicative
style from men. They are less argumentative and competitive, more consensual and cooperative. The third
gap is in the lack of international comparisons: Communication styles differ across polities, cultures and
communication environments.

The explosion of spreadable, social media platforms is transforming existing ecologies of journalism and
challenging traditional forms of news storytelling. Recent studies have observed how Twitter and other
social networking sites have emerged as alternative, and in some cases, primary channels for information.
Twitter in particular has received much attention as a news sharing mechanism during natural disasters
and as the platform of choice for social movements. This panel brings together papers which assess the
consequences of network architectures – for example, the design and software of social media – for
storytelling and for users’ emotional engagement.

This panel examines the changing nature of contemporary global news and the role transnational
advocacy groups play in this transformation. As legacy news outlets slash foreign news budgets, scholars
have discussed advocacy groups as sources of both promise and caution with respect to the future of
global news. To optimists, such groups provide original, insightful reporting from neglected areas of the
world and help thematize issues for public deliberation and political action. To skeptics, the influence of
advocacy groups augurs a worrisome conflation of the lines between advocacy and journalism, with
deleterious consequences befalling both parties. This panel of international scholars offers empirical and
analytical clarity to these important normative concerns.

Media policy is a current that runs through popular culture production, distribution and consumption, yet
it remains rarely confronted directly and explicitly by popular media users and popular communication
scholarship. Media policy can influence the shape of popular culture and the ways in which it is
distributed; it can alternately condemn user-created popular culture as illicit or exalt it as art; and it can
itself become the focus of popular media and everyday conversation. This panel explores various
intersections of media policy and popular culture through a range of international examples, with the goal
of fixing the spotlight on policy’s role in the popular.

The presentations will discuss a variety of issues, from changes in journalism to new developments in
online activism, from questions of political economy to trends in policy, and from the representation of
whistleblowing to its social and political effects around the globe. In six brief presentations, followed by
comments from two renowned respondents, they will inquire about the challenges to freedom of
expression in the digital age, the roles of journalism and whistleblowing in a changing media ecology, and
the new forms of engagement, organizational models, and repertoires of action of online activism. The
rise and legacy of WikiLeaks will serve as a lens through which to try and understand the significant
changes which we can witness in the increasingly networked field of media and communication. This
panel will present findings from an edited volume on the subject which will be published by Palgrave in
2013. It will bring together several of the authors and editors for a roundtable discussion on the social,
political and communicative transformations in the wake of WikiLeaks.

Through this panel, we aim at exploring how teenagers relate to information on the Internet, focusing in
particular on the processes beyond the search for data and news, as well as on the perception of what
elements constitute reliable, or even interesting, information online. Basing ourselves on the
connectedness that Social Media establish, both online and in the “real world”, we will also consider
elements of information overload, and the role of families in the establishment of a healthy relationship
with living and interacting online. The exposure of today’s youth to different formats through which
information is circulated, and knowledge is built (e.g. Youtube) makes for an interesting case regarding
what could constitute the education of tomorrow. We aim at exploring this possibility through both
qualitative and quantitative approaches, and based on a selection of papers from four different countries,
providing a broad overview of the subject.

Sandra Ristovska, U of Pennsylvania, USA
The past three decades have witnessed proliferating discussions about memory in the academy that
oscillate between two conceptual extremes—the disappearance of memory and the overabundance of
memory. The papers show how discussions of visual memories are interwoven in discussions of cultural
practice—of the ways in which images are made, preserved, presented, recycled, legitimized, challenged,
remembered and forgotten. Following Barbie Zelizer’s contribution to visual communication and
collective remembering, the panelists scrutinize the relationship between the material and discursive
dimensions of images and the inextricable link between “visual memories and a culture’s socially,
politically and economically mandated and sanctioned modes of interpretation.”

Alex Leavitt, U of Southern California, USA
The recent flurry of interest in the potentials of "big data" has led to a number of critiques by social
scientists on the theories, methodologies, and analysis of large data sources. The emergent call for "small
data" inquiries highlights a defensive tone on the part of traditional social scientists in the face of the
popularization of large-scale, computationally-driven projects. This panel aims to bridge these discourses
by introducing research that begins in large collections of data and crafts research questions to fit their
application to particular social scientific inquiries. The panel brings together four qualitative or
quantitative projects that look at social dynamics of online, networked social media systems. They build
on prior theories and empirical research around critical questions regarding communication, identity,
information, and sociality, and inquire into data from their respective platforms.

Motivated by the call at the 2012 ICA Game Studies AGM for increased participation by qualitative
researchers, this panel brings together four diverse investigations of gender and gaming communities.
Differing in their methodological approaches and theoretical framing, each paper will present an example
of the nuanced ways that “gender” can be used as an interpretive lens within a larger investigation of
gaming cultures and player practices. Ultimately, the goal for this panel is to showcase the diversity of
methodologies, theories, and analytical frameworks open to games researchers who seek to move beyond
“gender” as a stable and binary category for sorting study participants.

What in the UK is known as Hackgate – the scandal of, and surrounding, nefarious editorial activities at
the News of the World newspaper – and the consequent Leveson Inquiry into ‘the culture, practices and
ethics of the press’ were commonly represented as presaging an abrupt and wholesale transformation of
Britain’s distinctive modern tradition of freewheeling tabloid-inflected journalism. Was the UK
journalism debacle just a little local difficulty, or did it have wider, global implications? Systemic failure
on this scale has opened up opportunities to reconsider some of the assumptions underpinning journalism
research.

Feelings of hate, dislike, disgust, and annoyance increasingly pervade mediated spaces, facilitated at least
in part by the democratizing forces of a converged, participatory media environment. Yet theorization and
empirical data that considers the role of negative affect for audiences are in too short supply. As a result,
some key questions that we might ask of a media audience – what does it mean to dislike or hate a text,
what rhetorical strategies are employed to voice this hate, and how are hate and love, anti-fandom and
fandom related? – continue to go largely unanswered. This panel therefore aims to turn from love to hate,
dislike, alienation, and annoyance, and from fandom to anti-fandom, to make sense of what dislike and
hate of media products are as sociocultural phenomena.

The aim of this panel is to shed new light on a theoretically and practically significant issue in
communication studies: technological determinism and communication for sustainable social change. It
provides insight into the role of technology and culture in social change, an issue that has been
increasingly central to communication for social change theories and practices around the world over the
past decades. Given the variety and depth of challenges in sustainable social change both researchers and
practitioners need to espouse a broad and contextualized understanding of the role of technology in social
change that transcends conventional technological deterministic approaches.

This panel considers more recent empirical projects that explore how voice is valued through processes of
narrative production and exchange sustained both through workshops, as in the now classical digital
storytelling methodology, but also using digital infrastructures in a sense that goes beyond the digital
format of the story itself. Potentially these new practices can be understood to approximate to a ‘story
circle’ in a fully digital form, so providing a way in which ‘voice’ is materialised in complex digital
practices across multiple times and spaces.

Broadly speaking, this panel explores the overdetermination between communication technology and
culture: how machines and networks structure our actions, but also how within those structures human
agency shifts and changes. We examine the architectures of social and mobile media, looking at how
those architectures shape communication practices and culture. Ultimately, then, this panel will start a
conversation about the complex relationships between technology and communication, censorship and
polysemy, vertical and horizontal social networks, and human and nonhuman actors.

The papers presented in this panel intend to open up new avenues for thinking through critical game
studies. While Kellner’s approach to critical cultural studies was appropriate for thinking through the
cultural production of media in the 20th century, the present information landscape prompts meditation on
several related themes. These include transnational economic flows, cultural approaches to the history of
games, the present ambiguity of work and play, and questions of affective and immaterial labor. In short,
how can game studies scholarship avert the replication of exploitative business practices within the
technological sector? Can we incorporate new ways of understanding and unifying ourselves as a field
that focus on the activist potentials of games rather than their reductive commercial tendencies?

Scholars have theoretically developed and empirically studied several concepts to grasp so-called
nonhedonic entertainment experiences. However, the next step in the process of further examining these
conceptual innovations would be first to explore the factors that determine these experiences (e.g.,
different properties of genres or user characteristics such as age, genre preferences or psychological
traits). Second, it seems expedient to further examine the nature of entertainment experiences that might
challenge one’s view of the world. It seems to entail different cognitive and affective sensations, including
specific emotions like “elevation”, “admiration” and “awe”, or experiences of relatedness, competence,
and a sense that life has meaning. Third, what are (longer lasting) outcomes of more complex
entertainment experiences? Do such experiences affect increased altruism, self-reflection, or the desire to
live one’s life a better way? This panel aims to give some answers to these questions.

Nelson Costa Ribeiro, Catholic U of Portugal, PORTUGAL
Respondent
John Nerone, U of Illinois, USA
Since the 1920s, regulatory policies of most Western societies have evolved from the premise that
“spectrum scarcity” makes broadcast communication diametrically different from print technologies. Yet
up until its mass production in the industrial mills of the late nineteenth century, paper used to be a scarce
commodity itself. In the first four centuries after Gutenberg’s invention, paper was produced mainly from
old rags and manufactured in very limited quantities. Consequently, the genuinely occurring, but also
perceived or at some point even artificially created shortage of paper shaped the print era in a manner that
has many historical parallels with limitations peculiar to the electronic spectrum during the early stages of
the age of broadcasting.

This panel engages questions of authority and its key role in understanding the constitution of
organization (Taylor & Van Every, 2011). It raises different issues about how to study authority from a
distance, how to account for it, and how to analyze it taking a communicative and practice-centered
perspective. Empirical studies in distinct organizational settings and regions of the world focus on
“authority at a distance” and explore the various ways by which sources of authorities are constantly
invoked and mobilized in discourse and interaction. With communication as the starting point of their
inquiry, these studies analyze how power relationships are enacted in practice.

session include increasing the visibility of ICT4D scholarship among scholars of communication and
technology, encouraging communication and technology researchers to share theory and methods with
scholars in ICT4D studies and, in turn, considering how the interdisciplinary scholarship of ICT4D might
enhance work by CAT scholars. In addition, the panel will serve as a platform for discussing the
difficulties and opportunities in implementing technology-enabled solutions for poverty reduction.

Charles H. Davis, Ryerson U, CANADA
In this panel, a group of international scholars involved with a large-scale study of receptions of The
Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will discuss the potential uses and challenges of Q methodology for
audience research. A methodological hybrid concerned with revealing similarities and differences in
people’s viewpoints, attitudes, beliefs, or experiences, Q methodology provides insight into audience
subjectivities in a richer way than that provided by conventional surveys, while providing more structure
and better replicability than purely qualitative approaches such as focus groups or ethnographic
observation. Thus, we believe this panel will be of interest to qualitative, quantitative and mixed-methods
researchers interested in new approaches to studying individual and collective subjective responses to
various aspects of the communication circuit.

Respondents
Stephen D. Reese, U of Texas, USA
Thomas Hanitzsch, U of Munich, GERMANY
This panel discusses how journalistic practices can be explained and operationalized by applying the
concept of professional roles as well as the relationship between professional role conception and role
performance. Journalism studies need a more thorough understanding of the processes of professional
practice in relation to the ideals of professional roles. In a contemporary era characterized by a journalistic
‘crisis of identity’, such scholarly effort is even more urgent. To accomplish that goal, the panel gathers
journalism scholars to analyze the evaluative and performative levels of journalism culture. Specifically,
the papers of the panel present conceptual and empirical examinations on key skills valued by journalists
as an indicator of role performance, new operationalizations of journalistic roles in content and the
relation between roles perception and role enactment, the influence of journalist´ roles on their reportying
styles and interation with politicians, and a re-examination of the standard gatekeeping model in light of
these issues.

and transnational dynamics, inflect the online behaviour of young migrants online. We will explore, in
particular, how new forms of youthful digital diasporas are re-constituted across local and global spaces,
online and offline settings, creating multiple worlds of relations and identifications that go beyond the
straightjackets of ethnic, national, gender, religious and linguistic categories.

The media and especially newspapers are in a profound structural crisis. The resources available to news
organizations are shrinking, bringing about repeated buyouts and even newspaper closures. Increasingly,
scholars are voicing concerns about the repercussions of this media crisis for democracy, worrying that
whole sectors of civic life will go dark. While many commentators suggest that this crisis was caused by a
combination of the recession and the internet luring away readers and advertisers, the latter is also often
characterized as a possible salvation for journalism. Others observe that despite the many promises that
new online platforms holds for enhanced democracy, relatively few websites are journalistic in nature.
The proposed panel session sheds light on governments’ policy inaction in confronting the journalism
crisis. Bringing together scholars from the US and Europe, the panel consists of four presentations and a
subsequent discussion initiated by a respondent.

communication research, the field of digital communication research faces serious challenges. This
roundtable brings together five scholars to explore the opportunities and challenges facing digital
communication research. Our hypothesis is that social theory, broadly defined, may be made to play a
bigger role in these endeavors. Panelists will examine how social theory may help to conceptualize and
analyze digital media institutions, practices, and forms, and what specific theories and theorists may be
appropriated.

Thomas K. Nakayama, Northeastern U, USA
This panel marks the 35th anniversary of Harvey Milk’s assassination. Milk passionately lived as an
activist, community builder, stalwart campaigner, and one of the first openly gay U.S. political officials.
And Milk died a martyr, if not immediately, as some will quibble, than surely at the pronouncement of the
unjust, homophobic verdict in his assassin’s trial. Public memory is fraught, mutable, forceful,
consequential, and can be transformative—for GLBTQ people, for everyone. Here we explore Harvey
Milk’s queer inheritance. This panel is fitting not only because of the anniversary, but due to Milk’s
resurgent relevancy in GLBTQ culture and politics in recent years as a result of the 2008 film Milk.

How do we understand the role of digital technologies in the labors carried out by creative professionals
and new media users? How can scholars study the relationships between digital media and labor in ways
that foreground both breaks from and continuities with long-standing paradigms of industry work? How
can this research move away from technological determinism and the fetishism of commodities? United
by their focus on labor, the presentations feature an array of case studies and research methodologies in
order to explore the varied, multivalent relationship between new media technologies and media industry
practices. The common thread across these presentations is how the labor of media users and media
professionals underlines the reconfiguration of audiences and industries in new media environments.

This panel critically examines precarity within multiple philosophy of communication coordinates,
ranging from engagement of questions of disability, poverty, unexpected demands of debt, risk within the
youth culture, and Dorothy Day’s originative response and its implications for this historical moment.
Precarity announces the narrow ridge, the fragility, the interrupted routines of human conventions and
lives. This panel interrogates various dimensions of precarity through case studies and examples, pointing
not to solutions but to descriptive ways in which human beings have responded to precarity with the
dignity and tenacity that transformed and continues to transform their communicative environments.

Over the past 15 years or so, the rhetorical excitement and aspirations around Information Society (or
Networked, or Post-Industrial society, depending on who one reads) have morphed into a variety of
policies for building communications infrastructure and for encouraging and facilitating access to the
Internet. Many of these initiatives have focused on broadband, the loose term for a high speed network
capable of delivering voice, video and text reasonably quickly and facilitating a variety of citizen/user
interactions. This panel of experts will create a discussion around how their respective countries have
framed the core issues and defined government responsibilities as well as expectations regarding

“We Are Better Than the Others”: Bias in Intergroup Social Comparisons Within Media Coverage
Philipp Mueller, Ludwig Maximilian U of Munich, GERMANY
Respondent
Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, Ohio State U, USA
Media content helps people to constantly work on their personal identity. A major way for individuals to
do so is to compare their self-perception with their perception of others, a process which has been
introduced as “social comparison” by Festinger and attracted major attention in social psychology
research since the early 1950s. In this context, several questions arise: Why are media characters attractive
sources for comparison? What implications arise for the social comparison process due to the fact that it
takes place in the media environment? Can patterns of social comparison even be observed within media
content and how can that information help to convey messages to the audience (e.g., health information)?
Which consequences for the self (self-concept, self-esteem etc.) and for media usage itself arise from the
comparison with (idealized) media images? The presentations within the panel will address these
questions from different perspectives and provide a broad overview about recent research in the field.

“challenging research”, and here we are concerned with challenging the received wisdom regarding what
journalism is, the cultural space it occupies, who can undertake it, and how it facilitates the operation of
the public sphere.

The international news media has long been criticized for its negative, dark and pessimistic coverage of
the African continent. Despite the significance of these critiques, Afro-pessimism – sometimes referred to
as “Heart of Darkness reporting” - has not been developed as a coherent analytical concept, particularly
with regards to media coverage. Taken together, the papers make an important contribution to the concept
of Afro-pessimism in media studies both theoretically and empirically. The panel also draws attention to
key areas of debate and clash, and suggests avenues for future research.

Stuart Allan, Bournemouth U, UNITED KINGDOM
Since the advent of the internet, impassioned debates have been waged over its expected consequences for
the quality of political communication, in general, and for journalism, in particular. While some experts
have predicted a ‘democratization of the news’ overcoming the ‘monopoly’ of professional journalists in
defining and covering the pressing events of the day, others have warned that this same transformative
shift may be decreasing the very legitimacy of the media in their conveyance of the political process to the
people. Although some evidence exists on the implications for different news outletsa general assessment
of overall patterns and trends cannot be made so far. This panel’s four papers, each focused on a different
national context, will discuss three key dimensions in the quality of political communication and news.

Telepresence (typically shortened to presence) refers to a sense of ‘being there’ in a technology-created
environment and more broadly to an illusion of nonmediation in which some aspect of the role of the
technology in a communication experience is intentionally or unintentionally misconstrued or overlooked.
The concept has a rich history in the study of communication and technology. No panel (or conference for
that matter) can relay all of the current scholarship related to presence and telepresence but this panel
provides an overview of exciting work being done by a diverse set of scholars. The diversity of the panel

of the lack of consensus on theoretical and methodological best practices for Big Data, let alone the
uncertain ethical questions surrounding the use of massive datasets representing human communication
online. The discussion will address some of the most relevant Big Data problems for communication
research, and in the process demonstrate its importance across communication subdisciplines.

People have a fundamental need of being socially included and related to others (Deci & Ryan, 2000;
Baumeister & Leary, 1995). If this need is not fulfilled, people feel pain and are eager to end this
experience of exclusion and recapture connection to other people (Williams, 2007). In order to (re)gain
social inclusion, several courses of action are possible. In this panel, we would like to address media use
as an option of connecting to others and achieve the feeling to belong.

This panel seeks to address how understanding various forms of ‘the political’ in mediated culture might
benefit from the insights offered in visual culture and communication approaches. The panel is based on
the observation that much of the past research which has sought to examine the ‘spectacle’ and the
‘image’ of the political world has not actually paid detailed attention to visual images themselves as
communicative expressions, or has been too ready to condone the nature of visuals as simplistic,
illustrative, ambiguous, misleading or lacking in their capacities to contribute to the ‘reasoned’ argument
or debate. This session offers a critical and empirical engagement with key dimensions of political culture,
such as parody, campaigning, social networking, counternarrative, and activism.

Robert Mejia, College at Brockport – SUNY, USA
As cultures of gameplay have traveled across the spaces of arcades, living room consoles, and mobile
media, so too has the digital games industry become a transnational enterprise constituted by global flows
and power structures that cross economic, cultural, and geographic boundaries. Game publishing and
development increasingly occupy multiple regions, markets, and media capitals, forcing game scholars to
confront the production of game culture as diverse, dispersed, and decentralized. Yet this scope by no
means renders useless questions of locality, counter-cultural flows and production of meaning at the level
of specific spaces. While game studies has found significant opportunity to examine global flows of
desire, labor, and connectivity, it has often come at the cost of marginalizing the centrality of locality to
the maintenance of a transnational industry. In response to that growing oversight, this panel identifies
digital gaming industries as an opportunity to address the tensions and contradictions between the
transnational and local, in terms of production, text, and the sites of play in which game work is engaged.

Most literature and published empirical studies on public relations (PR) practice focus on the activity as it
is engaged in in the context of ‘normal’ liberal democratic societies. Indeed arguably one ‘normal’ liberal
democratic society in particular, the USA. Although there have been a few attempts to investigate the
environmental factors influencing PR practice in non-Western contexts and even conflict societies this
‘normal’ liberal democratic context has had an hegemonic influence on attempts within the academy to
theorize PR practice.

disparities in the Latino population by understanding both the communicative practices that influence
health decision-making and the neighborhood characteristics that may promote or hinder a healthy
community. The papers presented here respond to a growing need for culturally relevant research that can
directly inform health promotion efforts and provide effective health communication strategies for
reaching at-risk populations.

published responses to it during the first decade of the 2000s by Myers, Russill and Cooren. It then,
continues by bringing together the original author as a respondent to a panel of scholars who will
elucidate different perspectives and provide comments regarding reconfiguring, extending, and/or
applying the constitutive metamodel. Each scholar will offer a different take on its evolution, and
directions for its development. Together this panel of scholars will explore the reconfigurations and
extensions to the constitutive metamodel. In addition to the original author and panelists, Larry Gross is

Environmental communication has emerged as an expanding academic field in the last three decades. This
session will bring together a group of five to six prominent environmental communication scholars with a
diversity of views and experiences within the field. These scholars will address four core topics:
knowledge, theories, actors, and future challenges for environmental communication. Guiding questions
for this session are: How may the field be mapped? Which aspects are central and which are peripheral?
How is environmental communication related to other fields of study? Are there any “settled” questions in
environmental communication? What are the opportunities, and challenges, for research in environmental
communication? How may knowledge best be organized and made accessible for researchers, students,
practitioners, and the general public?.

provide insight into other key topics in the analysis of language and social interaction more broadly, such
as action formation, epistemics, and the management of understanding or ‘grounding.’

Nick Couldry, Goldsmiths, U of London, UNITED KINGDOM
The purpose of this panel is to present a fundamental challenge to existing research in communication and
media by recasting the relation between the “what ought” and the “what is”—in other words, by putting
ethics first. Such a challenge has bearing on almost every subfield in the communication discipline, as
well as on how the study of media translates into various fields practice. The challenge of ethics is also a
timely one. The humanities and social sciences have seen a surge of debates on ethical and moral
concerns in the past two decades, with some scholars even referring to the trend as “the turn to ethics.”

Keri Keilberg Stephens, U of Texas, USA
Escalating workloads, long work hours, anxieties about job security, and the fragmentation of attention
across proliferating communication channels are taking a toll on organizational members’ lives—at home
and work. These “work pressures” create dialectic tensions between fundamental aspects of employees’
experience of work. In today’s competitive and challenging business environment, organizations cannot
afford to ignore their employees’ perceptions of work pressure. Given the tight link between work
pressures and contemporary shifts in communication technology and new media, the roundtable brings
together an interdisciplinary group of scholars whose interests lie at the intersection of communication,
work, and technology to discuss pertinent theory and research methods for investigating work pressure
issues and creating solutions.

Sites of public memory offer important forms of ritual communication by which people make sense of
contentious pasts and articulate collective identities. Whether state-sanctioned or initiated at the
grassroots, memory sites like museums present opportunities and limitations for understanding the past
through critiques of previous historical paradigms. However, their practitioners are not always reflexive
about the limitations of interpreting the past through institutional or mediated lenses. This panel provides
critical responses to contemporary memory sites addressing historical violence against racial and ethnic
minorities. It offers an exploration of four disparate cases, which share a number of commonalities,
regardless of their different historical and cultural contexts. This collection of papers demonstrates various
approaches for studying public memory and mediation, and examines the cultural nuances involved when
violent, historical events are interpreted by and for particular audiences/participants.

In recent years the interplay between media, ritual and religion has stimulated interest in media, religion,
communications and anthropology scholarship. In this panel organized together with the ECREA
Temporary Working Group Media and Religion we look at rituals and ritualization as a cultural practice
carried out in relation to, via and through the contemporary religious and non-religious media including
the complex web of mass media as well as social networking sites (e.g. Television, YouTube). In this
panel we wish to argue that we need to rethink and reexamine symbolic communication and the place of
ritualized practice in the contemporary context. The panel’s task is to make the complex interplay between
media, ritual and religion theoretically and empirically more accessible to scholars and laypeople alike.

This panel aims to stimulate scholarly debate on the allegedly “new” forms of women’s protest that are
taking place in the post-Soviet cultural space. The panel’s chair will facilitate a discussion among the
presenters and the audience around some of the following questions: What do these examples of women’s
protest movements tell us about the variants of feminism emerging in the post-Soviet world? How do
these movements challenge or reproduce received ideas about the goals of feminism and about the best
strategies for achieving these goals? How are women’s bodies deployed in these protest movements and
to what end? And what is the role of mediation at the local and global level for these movements?

The hegemony of English in international research and publication is perceived by many as a barrier
excluding scholars from many regions of the world. In spite of a consensus on the need for action to
overcome the language barrier, initiatives seem to have very limited results. This panel will explore
innovative ways to understand the causes and implications of these issues and to initiate new dynamics in
internationalizing communication research in a way that benefits scholars and scholarship on both sides of
the language barrier.

Public relations efforts are more pervasive in political communication today than ever before. Still, there
is neither much theorizing nor empirical research on political public relations. Consequently, the goal of
this post-conference panel is to bring together scholars at the crossroads of public relations, political
communication, political science, and political marketing, and to serve as an initial forum to discuss
various perspectives on political public relations. The discussion will be based on studies in a forthcoming
special issue of the Public Relations Journal, edited by Spiro Kiousis and Jesper Strömbäck.

This postconference workshop will be an ideal opportunity for interested colleagues in the field to engage
with Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) getting to grips with its language and procedures. The
workshop brings together experts and users of the method with those who are interested in utilizing such
an approach in their own work. The aim is threefold: First, to provide a hands-on introduction to QCA
that acts as an impetus for researchers to use the method more widely in their own work. Second, to
showcase applications of QCA in the wider field of communication and media studies, demonstrating its
ability to bridge often gridlocked epistemological and methodological divides in comparative
communication research. Third, to specifically discuss the issue of calibration and identify possible
solutions.

Postconference: Advancing Media Production Research: A 1-Day Post-ICA / Pre-IAMCR
Conference
Sponsored Sessions
This one-day postconference will offer scholars researching within media organisations, and those who
have done so, an opportunity to reflect on the value and limitations of such research. Discussions will
focus on: How theories of news and cultural production have been advanced and challenged by recent
media production research; Understanding “that which we cannot see” – the ongoing challenge of access
to media and cultural institutions for in-depth, critical research; and pressing questions for production
research in the coming decade. This event is hosted by the University of Leeds Institute for
Communications Studies and is cosponsored by the IAMCR Working Group for Media Production
Research, ICA Journalism Studies, and the ECREA Media Industries and Cultural Production Working
Group.
