Faculty of Journalism, MSU invites Submissions for the European Journalism Training Association’s (EJTA) Teachers’ Conference 2017 Journalism Education Across Borders (October 19-20, 2017, Faculty of Journalism, MSU, Moscow).

• Crossing social borders: how to represent all groups in the society?

• Crossing competence borders: how to teach hybrid competences?

• Crossing educational borders: how to adapt curricula to changing professional realities?

• Crossing professional borders: how to respond to non-professional journalism?
