Dear all,

during the past couple of months, the impact of social media on elections
has been a prominent topic of discussion. 'Fake news' and big-data-based
advertising were discussed in particular. The Network of European Cinema
and Media Studies (NECS) is holding its annual conference in Paris from
June 29 to July 1. The NECS workgroup 'new media' wants to submit a panel
by the working title "Social Media and Elections: Practices, Discourses,
Impact". If you want to be part of this panel, send your idea for a paper
to hillrichs at uni-mannheim.de ASAP. We have two participants already. While
the panel’s working title is still very general, ideas for papers should be
specific of course. As the workgroup’s coordinator, I’ll see if ideas work
together and come back to you to ask for the full abstract. The panel has
to be submitted by January 31.


Best,

Rainer

P.S. Don't be put off by the conference's topic "Senses and Sensibilities":
Submissions from all fields of cinema and media studies will be considered
for acceptance.
