AIJC holds forum on media historical research

Before computers and new media transformed Filipino consciousness and gave everyone access to information 24/7, what was the Philippine media system like? Are there studies on how media fared in the early years of Philippine history?

These are some questions that will be addressed at the Forum on The Future of Historical Research on Philippine Media on January 10, 2014 at the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) Conference Room. A joint project of the UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines, Asian Institute of Journalism and Communication (AIJC) and PIA, the forum will examine the state of media history research in the Philippines.

The forum also aims to develop a framework for media history research in the country and a Philippine media history research agenda which could be adopted by academic and historical research institutions. The forum hopes to organize a network of media history advocates and researchers.

Three panels will discuss the state of historical research on Philippine media, frameworks on doing historical research on Philippine media, and the state of Philippine media history. A workshop to develop a research agenda addressing the media’s research needs will follow.

Forum partners include the Philippine Press Institute (PPI) and the Philippine Association of Communication Educators (PACE). For inquiries, please call the Asian Institute of Journalism and Communication at tel. nos. 743-4321 and 740-0396 or email info@aijc.com.ph.
