Presentation at ICA Conference in Denver

Members of the PSM-AP team will be presenting this week at the 75th Annual ICA Conference from June 12-16 in Denver, Colarado, USA. Our project will be presenting in the panel of the Polish Communication Associaton, which is titled “Reinventing Public Service Media in the Age of Platforms”. The panel will include research conducted by PSM-AP team members Tim Raats, Catalina Iordache, Dan Martin, Massimo Scaglioni, Michał Głowacki, Antonio Nucci and Filip Świtkowski. Chairing the panel will be Iwona Hofman, President of the Polish Communication Association. The panel will take place at Capital 2, Hyatt Regency Denver on Sunday, June 15th from 4:30 – 5:45pm MT.

“Reinventing Public Service Media for the Age of Platforms” uses multilayered analytical prisms to uncover challenges in public service media (PSM). Before focusing on broader contexts for PSM news and journalism, the panel examines platform challenges, regulation, and organisational obstacles. Overall, it disseminates findings from three international comparative research projects, using Western and Central European case studies and diverse research methodologies.
