The future of technological mediation in journalism and the media

The aim of this conference is to explore and reflect upon the future of technological mediation for journalism and the media. We are therefore seeking address the possibilities (and challenges) offered to information professionals by virtual, connected and immersive environments. The goal is to open a space for discussion on the place of journalism and media in Web3 : How can we prepare for the arrival of this new technology? What place will the media hold in this universe? Contrary to over-enthusiastic narratives, can the metaverse be seen as a trojan horse for the further commodification of the online realm, based on blockchain technologies and NFTs?

This conference will take place on Tuesday 27 June 2023 (at the Centre Panthéon, Université-Paris-Panthéon). The conference will be livestreamed (on Zoom) and simultaneous translation will be available (French-English-Portuguese).

This conference marks the launch of an international cooperation project around the creation of an interdisciplinary research-action network between the Center for Interdisciplinary Analysis and Media Research (Carism) at Paris-Panthéon-Assas University and the School of Communication and Arts of the University of São Paulo (ECA/USP).
