(Routledge 2015) is the latest publication by the long-standing Euromedia
Research Group, composed of scholars and researchers from literally all
over Europe. Starting from modelling the crisis as diverse phenomenon
rooted both in technological, social and economic changes, and as intrinsic
feature of capitalism, implications are discussed for journalism, public and
commercial media, for political communication, for gender equality and
many more. The Group's honorary president, Denis McQuail, forwarded
the volume by referring to long-term developments. Authors will be present
at the book launch.

Beyond Charlie: Freedom of Speech, Resistance
and Responsibility
The attack to the French satirical weekly magazine Charlie Hebdo
brought several questions to the international community. From comics
scholars to last minute readers, from politicians to religious
authorities, everybody had something to say about the shooting and
almost immediately a new trending topic came to light: "Je suis Charlie"
(I am Charlie), followed by countermovement: "Je ne suis pas
Charlie" (I am not Charlie). In light of the attack in Paris and remembering
the 10th anniversary of the Jyllands-Posten cartoons controversy
in Denmark the Comic Art Working Group presents "To be or not to
be... Charlie: Freedom of Speech, Resistance and Responsibility", a
selection of three documentaries about cartoonists and their metier
that will help to contextualize the debate about controversial cartoons:
- Bloody Cartoons (Denmark, 2007. Language: Eng.) - about the Jyllands
Posten/Charlie Hebdo controversy.
- Damm Cartoonists (Brazil, 2012 - Language: Portuguese, with
English subt.) - short interviews with Brazilian most representative
cartoonists, a panoramic view of the job and its peculiarities.
- Caricaturistes - Fantassins de la démocratie (France, 2014 - Language:
French) - the story of 11 cartoonists from all over the world
struggling for democracy, the risks they run every day and the reactions
and debates they provoke. An insight into the state of freedom
of expression and democracy in the world today.
