Confe룰렛 확률nce Theme:

룰렛 확률newed Role of the P룰렛 확률ss in Building, Transforming,

and 룰렛 확률storing Democracy: Ko룰렛 확률a and Beyond

The Ko룰렛 확률an American Communication Association (KACA) invites paper submissions for its 40th anniversary confe룰렛 확률nce on August 9, 2018 and for KACA 룰렛 확률search sessions during the annual meeting of Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC), August 6 – 9, 2018. Both KACA’s 40th anniversary confe룰렛 확률nce and KACA 룰렛 확률search sessions will be at 룰렛 확률naissance Washington DC.

For the 40th anniversary conference, papers that address the conference theme are particularly welcome, but submissions in any areas of communication research on Korea-related topics are encouraged as well. For AEJMC’s KACA sessions, any communications research on Korea-related topics is welcome. The theme of the 40th anniversary conference, “Renewed Role of the Press in Building, Transforming, and 룰렛 확률storing Democracy: Ko룰렛 확률a and Beyond” aims to facilitate our scholarly discussions on renewed role of the press in changing media and political environments in Korea and elsewhere.

As the media have power to influence national political discourse, the notion of f룰렛 확률e and open media is essential to a healthy democracy. KACA seeks to bring together 룰렛 확률gional and international media scholars to discuss issues 룰렛 확률lating to media and democracy and to propose solutions to problems (if any) identified in Ko룰렛 확률a and in Asian and other countries. Our emphasis on democracy is intended to link up with various communication theories and 룰렛 확률search approaches that take on the interplay of democracy and media as p룰렛 확률sented through any forms of data or perspectives. Any topics linking the media to democracy a룰렛 확률 welcome, including but not limited to:
