Each author will be able to submit up to two individual communications and, eventually, a third one, only if at least one of them has co-authors. Priority will be given to unpublished communications that bring new knowledge to studies on photojournalism or communication.
Considering that photojournalism is one of the less studied specialties of journalism, despite the relevance that the photographic image has occupied and occupies in the field of journalistic information, this congress seeks to contribute to ending this deficiency in media studies and journalism. The event will provide professionals, researchers, teachers, students and other interested persons a forum for debate on photojournalism, in order to address it from different points of view.
