Conference Theme and Schedule
The German University of Digital Science is pleased to present the international conference "Digital Science in Media and Communication", a two-day hybrid event to be held in November. This conference will explore the dynamic and transformative impact of digital technologies on media, journalism, and communication in the modern era.
The conference features keynote addresses, panel sessions, and networking opportunities. The digital transformation in media has transformed how information is produced and consumed, driven by AI, data-driven technologies, and new platforms. This shift has expanded storytelling and engagement but introduced challenges like quality, credibility, and ethics. Key research highlights include the increased visibility of science and journalism, the democratization of media, and associated risks. AI offers benefits such as automation and fact-checking but also risks like algorithmic bias.
Social media influences public discourse and topic visibility. Digital literacy and platform design are crucial for journalism's reach and impact. Audiences, especially digital natives, are adopting new communication patterns, leading to more participatory and personalized media experiences.
Hybrid models combining print and online formats are emerging, requiring innovative business models to maintain quality and trust. The future of journalism will be shaped by AI integration, immersive formats, and digital literacy and ethical standards.
The conference aims to explore these transformations, share findings, and discuss strategies for quality and inclusivity in future media. The conference will address the following key topics: exploring artificial intelligence, audiences, and the future of journalism; the use of AI and 2 algorithms in the art of storytelling; the future of media and digital ethics; rethinking media in the age of AI; navigating the digital shift in media; and innovative insights, impacts, and innovations in rewired media.
Featuring visionary keynote addresses at the opening and closing of each day, the event will offer a rich program of interactive sessions, panel discussions, and interdisciplinary networking opportunities. Participants will engage with emerging trends, critical debates, and innovative approaches shaping the future of media and communication in the digital age.
We warmly invite scholars, professionals, researchers, and thought leaders from around the world to submit papers that address cutting-edge research, theoretical insights, and real-world applications in the field of digital media and communication.
