  • 1.  Deadline extension: ICA Post-Conference Novel Directions in Media Innovation and Funding

    Posted 01-13-2023 09:01

    NEW: Deadline extended to January 23, 2023

    Novel Directions in Media Innovation and Funding is an ICA post-conference on innovation in journalism that will bring together global scholars and leading journalists to address three key areas:

    • Analyze the impact of journalism funding and policy in different national contexts
    • Consider innovative and successful funding solutions adopted by media outlets internationally
    • Highlight the role of digital news start-ups and peripheral actors in reshaping journalism

    Journalists will be invited to participate in the discussions to build bridges between academic researchers and practitioners. By assembling this shared expertise, this conference aims to galvanize those who seek meaningful repair, reform and/or transformation of journalism. 

    The conference will be held in a central location in downtown Toronto on the evening of Monday May 29 and the day of Tuesday May 30, 2023. A registration fee of $75 Canadian ($25 for students and scholars from the Global South) includes two meals.

    We invite submissions from scholars on topics related to journalism funding and media policy, innovative funding approaches, and on the role of digital news start-ups in reimagining journalism.

    The deadline for submission has been extended to January 23, 2023. Submissions will be selected by the organizers, Alfred Hermida and Mary Lynn Young, University of British Columbia. Presenters will be notified by February 17, 2023.
