Annual international conference «Comparative Media Studies in Today’s World»
Established in 2013, the conference has so far gathered over 50 experts in comparative and longitudinal media research, including Paolo Mancini, Katrin Voltmer, Larry Gross, Nico Carpentier, Susanne Fengler, Thomas Hanitzsch, Daya Thussu and many others. This year, the conference broadens in both time and scope, overgrowing the narrow ‘expert’ format.
The conference is part of a bigger Scientific Spring at School of Journalism and Mass Communications, St.Petersburg State University, and exists as an integral part of ‘Media in Modern World’ Annual Forum which will be held for the 56th time in 2017.
