- Celebrating 50 Years of Theories and Practices in Professional Education for Journalists
- Journalism and journalism education – shall the twain ever meet?
- Redefining journalism education for the needs of all continents.
- Journalism education in difficult political and cultural environments.
- New challenges for journalism education in the digital age.
