What role are mass media and communications playing in the larger political, economic and social changes occurring in the post communist world?

The issues will be examined from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and vantage points, including political science, communications studies, law, and the NGO sector. The round table will bring together an international group of both scholars and practitioners who conduct research and work in various aspects of media, journalism and communications in Ukraine.

Participants in the conference will include: Ruslan Deynychenko, School of Journalism, University of the Kyiv Mohyla Academy, Ukraine, Marta Dyczok, University of Western Ontario, Yevhen Fedchenko, Dean, School of Journalism , University of the Kyiv Mohyla Academy, Marta Kolomayets, National Democratic Institute, Washington, DC, Serhii Kvit, President, University of the Kyiv Mohyla Academy, Tammy Lynch, Boston University, Nataliya Petrova, Media Law Expert, Ukraine, Mykola Riabchuk, Ukrainian Centre for Cultural Studies.
