Dear Professional Colleagues, We are organizing an International Conference on “International Conference on Diversity and Plurality in Media- Reflection on Society” from 26th-27th December, 2011 at Bhopal. The details are given below. I request you to circulate among the faculty members of your institution. Thanking You Yours Sincerely Vijay Anand Head, Library Makhanlal Chaturvedi National University of Journalism and Communication, Bhopal Noida Campus, C56A/5, Sector- 62, Noida - 201301 (m)anandwarm(a)gmail.com *International Conference on Diversity & Plurality in Media - Reflections of Society* *27th and 28th December, 2011* * * *Organized by* *MAKHANLAL CHATURVEDI NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF JOURNALISM AND COMMUNICATION* *B-38, Vikas Bhawan, Opposite, Dak Bhawan, Press Complex, Zone-1, M.P. Nagar, Bhopal - 462011, MP, India* Overview The foundation of ancient Bhartiya (Indian) civilization is based upon the eternal concept of unity in diversity. To be diverse is the law of nature but there is an element of commonality in every creation. Integral Humanism is a social philosophy that explains the intricacies of human relationships within and the outside world. Communication as an essentiality of human behaviour and media as its extension has to be diverse in nature and scope. But the organized media is structured in such a manner that it is conditioned to ignore the spectrum of the diversity and project certain activities, events, thoughts and ideologies more than the others. This does not result in media being a true representative of the society nor does it have the capacity to be objective. Do we live with these aberrations? Or else scholars and media persons should look for alternate structural options? The International Conference on ‘Diversity & Plurality in Media - Reflections of Society’ is organized by Makhanlal Chaturvedi National University of Journalism and Communication, Bhopal, and will take place in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India, on December 27th and 28th, 2011. The conference focus on the issues related to Diversity and Plurality from an Asian perspective. The Conference will serve as good platform for media community to meet with each other and to exchange ideas. Proposed Themes 1. Unity in Diversity: Concept and Manifestation 2. Dynamics of Diversity in Media Structures 3. Democracy and Diverse Media Content 4. Ethnic Groups and Diversity in Media 5. New Media: Reality and Virtuality 6. Measuring Diversity and Plurality in Media 7. Training for Diversity and Plurality in Media content 8. Social Exclusion and Media 9. Strategic Communication and Managing Change 10. Defining Role & Function of Media in terms of Integral Humanism 11. Caste & Class in Media Structure & Content 12. Media and Politics of Minoritism 13. Societal Diversity and its Reflections in Media 14.

Unconferences work on the principle that the collective knowledge of the participants is more valuable than the traditional conference speaker. “LibCampBangalore” was the first ever unconference for corporate library and information science professionals in India. The first “LibCampBangalore” was organized by Information Resource Centre (IRC) of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Bangalore on March 7, 2009. So far, three “LibCampBangalore” unconferences have been successfully organized. Nandeesha will share his experience in architecting LibCampBangalore and this unconference becoming an effective platform for building professional network and knowledge sharing. About Speaker: Nandeesha M is currently working as Knowledge Management Consultant with SAP Global Delivery, Bangalore, India. He has 9 years of experience in Information and Knowledge Management. He started his professional career with Developing Library Network (DELNET - http://delnet.nic.in/) New Delhi and later worked as Knowledge Officer and Information Analyst with Information Resource Centre (IRC) Unit of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS - http://www.tcs.com) He is a member of the Newsletter Editorial Board at Asian Chapter of Special Libraries Association (SLA - http://units.sla.org/chapter/cas/index.html) USA.
