Communication Policy and Technology (CP&T)
CP&T Section - News
The CP&T Section’s focus is on communication policy, with a keen interest in the socio-economic aspects of technological change. The Section welcomes research that bridges between theory and practice, and theoretical and empirical studies, by offering scientific reflection as well as guidelines for political action. The CP&T Section does not adhere to any single philosophical or theoretical school but encourages research that is critical and counter-intuitive.

The Communication Policy and Technology (CP&T) Section invites submissions for its open sessions at the IAMCR 2011 conference to be held in Istanbul (Turkey) from July 13-17. The IAMCR conference theme for 2011 is ‘Cities, Creativity, Connectivity’.
In the network society the media and telecommunication landscape of one-way broadcasting and two-way personal communication is transforming into a digitized, converged and interactive ecosystem, based on internet technologies and applications. This transformation has also driven the development of horizontal networks of interactive communication that connect local and global in chosen time. Castells labels this new form of socialized communication as ‘mass self-communication’, and sees it as a potential new medium for power and counter-power.

Deliberation, the Media and Political Talk
Rousiley C. Maia
New book by IAMCR member
In recent years democratic theory has taken a deliberative turn and one central question that needs to be answered is how to connect face-to-face conversations and deliberations in particular forums to broader discussions in the larger society. Working within the cutting edges of deliberative theories, this book surveys the role of the mass media in the deliberative system and investigates, through a set of empirical cases, a range of key problems in the media arena: the interplay between arguing and strategic maneuvering; public demands for accountability; emotional appeal for deliberation; tensions between agonistic and diplomatic deliberation; and the public construction of general claims.
