The Journalism Research & Education Section thus invites submission within the general theme of 'South-North Conversations', by raising a main question: "What can we expect of Journalism research and education in addressing such conversations (North-South) or (South/South)?" through the lens of the five JRE themes:
First Themes: International Collaborative Research in Journalism Research: New Challenges and Emergent Perspectives
Second Theme: Innovations in Journalism
Third Theme: The Professional Journalism
Fourth Theme: Methods for Quantified Professional Journalism
Fifth Theme: Generic Studies of Journalism
