<title>The Future of Computational Message Science: Theoretical Advances, Computational Frontiers, and Gran</title>
<link>https://www.icahdq.org/events/eventdetails.aspx?id=1843577</link>
<guid>https://www.icahdq.org/events/eventdetails.aspx?id=1843577</guid>
<description><![CDATA[Theme and objectives: This preconference centers around the theme of “Computational Message Science.” This pre-conference will serve as a dynamic platform to explore the frontiers of cutting-edge computational methods applied to advance theories and practices concerning message effects. The primary objective of our proposed pre-conference is to create a vibrant platform to explore and advance an emerging area of inquiry centered around "Computational Message Science." By assembling a diverse panel of leading scholars from communication and related disciplines, our pre-conference aims to achieve the following:
i. Knowledge Exchange: Facilitate the exchange of novel insights, methodologies, and best practices in applying computational methods to study message effects. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the potential and limitations of applying computational approaches to advance message effects research. Attendees will also have plenty of opportunities to interact with leading scholars and interested peers in this emerging field.

ii. Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Foster collaboration and interaction among scholars from different disciplines. These interactions will open opportunities for innovative research collaborations that capitalize on diverse expertise.

iii. Methods Innovation: Engage in critical reflection on the current methods and practices in computational message effects research and collectively identify future directions, challenges, and opportunities for methodological innovation and application.

Format: Our pre-conference features keynote speeches, forum-style panels, and open-floor discussions. The forum-style panels will start with a pair of opening presentations from invited speakers, followed by an interview with the co-organizers, and wrapped up with a moderated discussion with the audience. These panels will cover broad themes such as computational measurements for multimodal messages, digital interventions, AI and message science, opportunities and pitfalls in academic-industry collaboration, among others. In each panel, we strive to feature the perspectives from both established scholars and emerging junior researchers, while promoting live interactions between panelists and the audience. We program 4 thematic panels throughout the day, and one open-floor discussion session involving all invited speakers and the audience to take stock of the past and chart out promising directions for the future. Through these sessions, we will collectively assess the progress we've made in applying computational methods to analyze message effects, and where we are heading into the future.]]></description>

<title>Whose News is It? The Role & Influence of International Media Assistance in Defining the News Agenda</title>

<description><![CDATA[<span data-sheets-root="1" data-sheets-value="{'1':2,'2':'A large portion of international development assistance globally has been devoted to building capabilities that enable societies to provide more or better news and investigative journalism. This assistance has sought to foster reporting in often challenging environments in which government and economic conditions makes it difficult for independent journalism to exist and operate. Over the decades, media assistance has allocated a significant amount of resources to organizations and individual journalists working in a variety of countries (Luis Requejo Alem√°n 2011; Requejo Alem√°n 2013), allowing them to produce news that has come to fill a void. This support has been useful as traditional business models in journalism, mostly anchored on analogue environments that thrived on advertisement, have collapsed. The Centre for International Media Assistance concluded that by 2018 about US$600 million a year is spent on media development in Africa by state and private funders (CIMA 2022). One can argue that this amount might be far higher considering the undisclosed amounts China spends on media operations and training globally. Funders and researchers have increasingly collaborated to evaluate the role of media development aid (Becker et al. 2019; Benequista et al. 2022), while others have asked how a flow of foreign money affects the development of an independent media sector in the Global South (Paterson, Gadzekpo, and Wasserman 2018) and how foundation funding effects the ‚Äúboundaries of journalism‚Äù (Wright, et al, 2019). Notably, China has invested heavily in building and influencing media in Africa and Latin America, where resources and money have been allocated to media infrastructure and training (Kalathil 2017; Myers, Dietz, and Fr√®re 2014). However, increasingly present are other nation-states as well as media corporations such as Google and private foundations that have channelled resources into journalism initiatives. Despite comprehensive criticism of media assistance, many argue that investigative journalism in many regions of the world would disappear without the foreign support it receives, even while expressing concern that such support maintains colonial dependencies, constitutes neo-imperialism, and ensures conformity with donor priorities (Requejo-Alem√°n and Lugo-Ocando 2014; Wright, Scott, and Bunce 2019). While the impacts and influences of foreign assistance on media in Africa (e.g., Wasserman and Madrid-Morales, 2018), Latin America (e.g. Morales and Menechelli, 2022), and the Arab World (e.g. Bebawi, 2016) have seen significant research, the increasing role of the Asia-Pacific as a site of East-West tension calls for investigation of foreign journalism funding in this region. Indeed, this region has become a contested scenario for geo-political struggles in which all players seek projection of soft-power and influence. The purpose and outcomes of media development aid have been explored in special issues (Higgins, 2015; Paterson et al, 2018; Olmedo Salar & Lugo-Ocando. 2018) and books (Becker, et al, 2019; Lugo-Ocando, 2020), and are the focus of an IAMCR working group. This call seeks to inspire and identify the key elements and issues that define the role of media assistance and account for its role, nature and influences. Possible Outcomes include a special edition of a journal with papers presented at the pre-conference and/or an edited collection book with papers presented at the pre-conference. A call for 300-word abstracts will be made in October, with decisions communicated to authors by December 10, 2023. We expect 15- 20 papers. Those submitting abstracts should be guided by, but need not be limited to these questions and issues: ‚Ä¢ What is the current state of media assistance in the Global South? ‚Ä¢ Is media assistance in the Asian-Pacific still relevant in the post-Cold War era? ‚Ä¢ Who are donors and recipients of media assistance? ‚Ä¢ What is the relationship between news agendas and media assistance? ‚Ä¢ How do goals and outcomes vary between private and public media assistance? ‚Ä¢ Is media assistance media co-option? ‚Ä¢ What is the relation between media assistance, soft power, and geopolitical and/or Ideological conflict? ‚Ä¢ What is the historical contexts of media assistance programs and issues?'}" data-sheets-userformat="{'2':33569277,'3':{'1':0,'3':1},'5':{'1':[{'1':2,'2':0,'5':{'1':2,'2':0}},{'1':0,'2':0,'3':3},{'1':1,'2':0,'4':1}]},'6':{'1':[{'1':2,'2':0,'5':{'1':2,'2':0}},{'1':0,'2':0,'3':3},{'1':1,'2':0,'4':1}]},'7':{'1':[{'1':2,'2':0,'5':{'1':2,'2':0}},{'1':0,'2':0,'3':3},{'1':1,'2':0,'4':1}]},'8':{'1':[{'1':2,'2':0,'5':{'1':2,'2':0}},{'1':0,'2':0,'3':3},{'1':1,'2':0,'4':1}]},'9':0,'10':1,'11':0,'14':{'1':3,'3':1},'15':'Calibri','16':12,'28':1}" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial; color: #000000;">A large portion of international development assistance globally has been devoted to building capabilities that enable societies to provide more or better news and investigative journalism.

<description><![CDATA[<span data-sheets-root="1" data-sheets-value="{'1':2,'2':'The purpose of this PhD Mentoring Workshop of the Environmental Communication Division at ICA 2024 is to support PhDs in their early careers in our field. The workshop will provide feedback on graduate students‚Äô first papers, their drafts of studies, or ideas for doctoral projects or studies.

<description><![CDATA[<span data-sheets-root="1" data-sheets-value="{'1':2,'2':'In early 2021, many children around the world explored new uses for digital technology because they were compelled to use diverse digital platforms and tools to navigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on their everyday lives. At the same time, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child formally adopted UNCRC General Comment 25 on children‚Äôs rights in relation to the digital environment ‚Äì landmark, collaboratively generated guidance to support states to ensure that digital products, policies and services respect, protect and fulfil the rights of children as stipulated by the Convention. Both the Convention and General Comment 25 stipulate that, alongside their provision and protection rights, children also have the right to participate in the decision-making processes that impact their lives as they play out in relation to the digital environment. Indeed, General Comment 25 itself was founded on a process of in-depth qualitative engagement with children to canvass their insights and experiences of engaging with digital. As the global community seeks to activate General Comment 25, then, how can researchers meaningfully support efforts to engage children and young people in shaping the digital environment, now and into the future? This preconference will explore both conceptual approaches and practical strategies for facilitating children to contribute meaningfully to media and communications research. Through a combination of invited papers and an open call, presentations at this pre-conference will interrogate the strengths and limitations of different kinds of approaches to youth participation research; debate the ethical challenges of engaging with children and young people; and discuss how to engage children across all stages of the research process ‚Äì from design to the activation of evidence for digital policy, programming and product design. We welcome submissions from postgraduate students, emerging researchers and senior researchers, as well as from children and young people who have participated as co-researchers in media and communications research.
