Webinar series

Module 01:

Date:        May 25, 2021

Time:        CET 9.00 am-11.00 am (GMT 7:00 am- 9:00 am) / IST 12.30 pm-2.30 pm

Speaker:  Professor Dr. Andrea Volterrani (University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy)

Topic    :   Community development and communication

Language: English

The webinar will focus on the relationship between social development of communities and communication in the era of deep mediatization. (Hepp, 2020, Couldry and Hepp 2017). The theoretical approach and methodological perspective used will refer to urban media and practices and the mediated construction of social reality (Blockland, 2017; Couldry, 2004; 2012; Couldry and Hepp, 2017; Stephansen and Trerè, 2020).

Particular attention will be paid to the intertwining of communication processes and people’s daily lives (Hepp 2015; 2020), with the aim of generating engagement and new forms of active citizen participation. Five types of communication will be presented in an educommunication perspective (Barbas, 2020; Freire, 1970), whereby citizens of communities become protagonists and co-constructors of relational, territorial and digital development processes.

There are now more journals for authors to publish their work in than ever before. This benefits authors by providing more avenues for publication but also puts greater responsibility on them to avoid the serious threat of publishing in a predatory journal. Every scholar wants to publish their work in internationally recognized journals but often fall into the trap of predatory/fake or cloned journals.
