“When speakers came together in Lisbon in January 2020, they spoke of various themes—economic logics, communication practices, media activism, political accountability, environmental precarity—and also acknowledged what they did not know. Absent from all these talks was a topic that has now become part of the global lexicon: pandemics.”
The second Lisbon Winter School for the Study of Communication, aptly dedicated to the topic of “Media and Uncertainty,” convened just weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic overtook the world in January 2020.
We are pleased to announce that at long last the “Media and Uncertainty” E-Book is available as a free digital download. In addition to keynote transcripts, the collection includes an introduction by Annenberg Doctoral Student and Center Steering Committee Member Muira McCammon, who perhaps puts it best:
“This E-book has pre-pandemic roots but post-pandemic implications. Through its curated collection of keynote speeches, it provides a detailed diagnosis of how uncertainty can travel across media systems, continents, contexts and cultures.
