>University of Westminster Media Conference to include Panel on Egypt and Tunisia Protests
>
>LONDON -The University of Westminster's Communication and Media Research Institute Africa (CAMRI) through its media centres - the Africa Media Centre, Arab Media Centre and Media Policy Group - is organising an Africa media conference from 11-12 March which will debate how young people used Twitter and other media in the Tunisian and Egyptian pro-democracy protests in January/February 2011. The main theme of the conference is 'Children's and Young People's Media in Africa: Evolving Markets, Producers and Audiences' and the full programme will include a keynote address, film screenings, receptions and the following:
>
>Roundtable 1: Media Producers' Perspectives
>
>Roundtable 2: "Twitter Revolutions in North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa"
>
>Panel 1: Young Audiences in Africa, Responses and Reactions
>
>Panel 2: Storytelling and Narratives in Africa
>
>Panel 3: Using Media to Educate Children and Youths in Africa
>
>Panel 4: Children's Journalism and Identity in Africa
>
>The participants will include industry practitioners, educationists and policy-makers. Some sessions will be devoted to presentation of academic research.
>
>The conference reflects three specialist areas of research being developed within the University of Westminster's Communication and Media Research Institute (CAMRI), namely Africa media, Arab media and the ecology of media production for children. In its 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, the UK's Higher Education Funding Council ranked CAMRI as the best media and communication research centre in the country, with all of its submissions rated as being of international standard, including 60 per cent classified as 'world leading' and a further 30 per cent as 'internationally excellent'. CAMRI runs numerous international conferences every year. In September 2008 it held a conference on "Making Television for Young Children: Future Prospects and Issues". In March 2009 it held another on "Arab and African Audiences: Shared Agendas for Research" and "Racism, Ethnicity and the Media in Africa" was the topic for the annual African media event in 2010.
