Journalism Division

The Journalism Studies Division at ICA brings together a vibrant global community of scholars passionate about journalism — its theory, practice, and evolving role in society. We champion diverse perspectives, welcoming a wide range of theoretical, methodological, and epistemological approaches to studying journalism across cultures, time periods, and media systems. Our mission is to advance rigorous, innovative research that deepens our understanding of how journalism functions and changes in different contexts. We aim to foster dialogue among researchers from all academic traditions, encouraging cross-disciplinary collaboration and driving the professionalization of journalism studies and education worldwide. Whether you’re exploring the newsroom's digital transformation, global press freedom, journalism ethics, or emerging storytelling formats — this is the space to connect, collaborate, and contribute to the future of journalism research. 🌍 Join us in shaping the next chapter of journalism scholarship.
