The Postgraduate Programme in Journalism and New Media, with active involvement from its Director, Professor Stelios Papathanassopoulos, hosted the Euromedia Research Group meeting.
Founded in 1982, the Euromedia Research Group is considered the oldest network of European media researchers. It was initially set up by prominent members of the academic community at the time, including Karen Siune, Denis McQuail, Jeremy Tunstall, Gianpietro Mazzoleni, Els De Bens, and others. Since then, the research group has expanded its membership and, for 43 years, has continued to collect and exchange information, as well as to develop and apply frameworks that help describe and analyze developments in the media across the continent.
