Charles University in Prague, Prague, Czech Republic
Communications and media research is rapidly expanding. However, in a world of "digital disruption" where old and new media are turned "upside down"
and the media ecology is changing rapidly, only little of the research progress is communicated adequately outside peer-reviewed journals. The panel
discusses initiatives to make media and journalism research accessible to media practitioners and a broader public and thus to increase its "impact factor":
The European Journalism Observatory
(http://en.ejo.ch) with its recent extension towards Russia
(http://ru.ejo.ch) , the Arabic Journalism Observatory
(http://ajo-ar.org/topics/ةباقرلا/ةسايسلا-مالعإلا
) as a new initiative to extend EJO's network to the MENA countries, and the Journalism Research
News based in Finland and addressing mainly the Anglo-Saxon world and Scandinavian countries
(http://journalismresearchnews.org/).
