Communication and Citizenship: Rethinking Crisis and Change
The title of this book, Communication and Citizenship: Rethinking Crisis and Change, was the general theme of IAMCR's 2010 Conference hosted by the Communication and Society Research Centre of the University of Minho in Braga, Portugal in July 2010. The book is a collection of the conference's plenary addresses on the general theme in the hope that their publication will keep the debate alive.
In a time of profound economic and social crisis, the scientific community is expected to shed light on contemporary deadlocks and uncertainties. These texts are part of the indispensable continuous critique.
