IAMCR Webinar Series
Democracy and media: Reflections from around the world. A roundtable discussion
In this webinar, four communication and media studies scholars will reflect on the intersection of democracy and media in India, Indonesia, Turkey and Brazil, using the recently published book "Democracy and Media in Europe: A Discursive-Material Approach", authored by Nico Carpentier and Jeffrey Wimmer, as a source of inspiration. This discussion will serve as an opportunity to reflect also on how the scholarly work on democracy and media that has a Western (European) conceptual reference point, may (or may not) be relevant in other parts of the world.
When: Wednesday 22 January, 2025 @12h00 UTC / 07h00 New York / 12h00 London / 13h00 Paris / 15h00 Nairobi / 17h30 Kolkata / 20h00 Beijing / 22h00 Brisbane. The event will last 2 hours.
