Researchers at 65th Annual DGPuK Conference in Mannheim

(09.03.2020) From 10 to 12 March, the 65th annual conference of the German Society for Journalism and Communication Studies (DGPuK) will take place on the topic "#Mensch #Medien #Gesellschaft - Fragen und Antworten der Kommunikations- und Medienwissenschaft in Zeiten rapiden Medienwandels" (#People #Media #Society - Questions and Answers of Communication and Media Studies in Times of Rapid Media Change). About 400 communication scientists will participate, among them also employees of the Münster Department of Communication (IfK).

The three-day DGPuK conference will take place at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich (LMU) and is organized by the Institute for Communication Science and Media Research (IfKW).

In view of the great social significance of media communication, the speed of media change, medialization and mediatization, and the diversity of related issues, the conference aims to be a showcase for the current communication and media studies.
Therefore, unlike previous annual conferences, the Munich conference does not focus on a single topic. Instead, all communication scientists were invited to apply for the conference with the questions and findings that are currently the focus of their own work. The aim is to provide a conference programme that gives an overview of the entire spectrum of communication and media studies research in the German-speaking countries.

In numerous panels the participants of this year's annual conference will discuss these and other scientific questions, empirically and theoretically, with the following contributions by scientists of the IfK:
