Editorial - Media and Communication in Europe: Babel Revisited (pp.269-272)Agnes Inge Schneeberger & Katharine Sarikakis
The special issue entitled “Media and Communication in Europe: Babel Revisited” is the outcome of a successful collaboration between the UACES Student Forum sponsored Specialist Study Group on Media and Communication in Europe (see http://ssg.x10hosting.com/ for more details) and the JCER | Journal of Contemporary European Research (http://www.jcer.net/ojs/index.php/jcer).
The origins for this special issue are to be found at the UACES Student Forum Conference in April 2007 at Nottingham University. The idea was put into practice with a first editorial meeting at the Institute of Communications Studies at the University of Leeds in December 2007. A preparatory thematic workshop at the Centre for the Study of Ethnicity and Citizenship at the University of Bristol followed in April 2008.
The Special Issue was guest edited by JMECE Lab member Mrs. Agnes I. Schneeberger and Dr Katharine Sarikakis, both of the Institute of Communication Studies at the University of Leeds. Contributors include early career researchers and postgraduate members of the Specialist Study Group. A special guest article was written by Dr Michael Bruter of the London School of Economics.

Barroso: “Your opinion matters. What can Europe do for you?”
The President of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, has lunched a web-survey – tellBarroso.eu – inviting all EU-citizens to post their opinion about the EU policy areas. The website suggests a direct intereaction between citizens and the President of the European Commission.
It is a simple and efficient way to use drag-and-drop fields and web ticks to find out more not only about social indicators, as well as new opinions and ideas. The institution behind this service is the Centre of European Studies.
The Centre told that “tellbarroso.eu poll invites Europeans into the political decision-making process aiming to put them back in the core of the European debate. This pioneer initiative is personally endorsed by Jose Manuel Barroso.”
The web site says that “This is a non-partisan, simple, web poll which revolves around the basic theme: ‘Your opinion matters. What can Europe do for you?’”
Barroso counts with your participation!
