Media and Politics

The Media and Politics Group (MPG) aims to act as a forum for discussion between a wide variety of academics with interests in the study of media policy, journalism, political communications, new information technologies and other topics.

The Group always contributes a stream of panels to the PSA annual conference, as well as running its own successful annual conference.

The next MPG Annual Conference will be held in December 2019 at the University of Leeds. The call for papers will be published in Spring 2019.

You can request lifetime membership of the MPG through the PSA website. If you are a PSA member then membership of the MPG is free.

The Group convenors are Dr Jen Birks, Professor Alec Charles, Dr James Dennis, Dr Emily Harmer, and Dr Katy Parry.
