Media and Democracy Symposium

11.07.2019 15:25 | Anonymous member (Administrator)

October 19-20, 2019

Pissouri Village, Cyprus

Deadline: July 25, 2019

The Symposium aims is to promote the debate on the effective participation of the citizen in the democratic system of government, which involves the citizens informing about social, political, economic, religion, cultural and environmental events. Nowadays we observe in the private and public life both the dominance of traditional and new media, which in some cases construct contradictory information, especially regarding the political life of the country. This Symposium aims is to analyze the Media and Democracy from different points of view, which could be summarized in the following topics:

  • The importance of new media and the momentum that they have acquired,
  • The role of social networks in democracy
  • Media Representations of Brexit.
  • “New” and “Old” media in the democracy countries.
  • Fake News and Democracy
  • The ideology and propaganda role.
  • Citizen Mobilization and Political Activism in the Local, National or European Parliament Elections.
  • Nationalist Movements to the Media industries.
