Academic support by – Prof Ram Mohan Pathak, Dean, M.M. Malviya Institute of Hindi Journalism, M.G. Kashi Vidyapith, Varanasi.
CALL FOR PAPERS IN ENGLISH/HINDI/MARATHI
The themes are as under:
The theory and practice of ethics in journalism are reflected in ways that journalists go about the doing journalism. Journalism is shaped by the relations of power and by the institutional priorities within the organizations that employ them. These relations and priorities are not in equilibrium, but exist in an ongoing state of conflict that lead to journalism rules emerging from constantly evolving practices. The actions of journalists thus are constrained and defined by concrete real-life situations. One significant real-life situation is the transformation of journalism from being a mission to becoming a profession.
Theme 1
The real-life situations in which journalists are doing journalism in India has changed dramatically over the years. This first section will deal with the following question –
What are the key social, political and economic events/people that shaped journalism theory and practice during these years?
Theme 2
Journalism is an important player in the public sphere. It offers a platform for playing out conflict, consensus and confluence thus constantly shaping and re shaping the power structures within society. However, as media pervasiveness increases, journalism itself becomes a player and a power structure competing with other structures in society. Instead of providing a platform it becomes an ingredient of the power game.
How has the position and role of journalism in the public sphere changed? How has this affected narrative and representation of identity and social justice?
Theme 3
The public sphere stands on two important pillars – commerce and public participation.
Has the degree of dominance and influence that each exercises over the other changed? How has this affected journalism?
Theme 4
Convergence of media technology is shaping media, content, audience and media organizations.
How has television changed journalism? How will convergence change it further?
Theme 5
What are the factors that will shape the power relations, the institutional priorities and thereby the journalism ethic of the future?
