The 15th East African Communication Association (EACA) Conference will be held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from August 27 -29.
EACA announced online that the conference would be hosted by the School of Communication and Journalism of the University of Addis Ababa.
The theme will be: Media and Communication in Africa’s Integration.
EACA is calling for abstracts for the papers to be considered for presentation during the conference.
EACA was established in 2011 by members largely drawn from universities and media and communication organizations in East African countries, such as Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. Nevertheless, the Association takes pride in drawing members from all over the world because it is open to academics, researchers, and other pertinent organizations from all over the world.
The Association brings together media and communication scholars (including researchers, educators and students), practitioners, policy-makers and regulators and other professionals with an interest in media and communication fields from Eastern Africa and other parts of the world.
EACA aims at building and fostering networks and harnessing collective potentials towards building capacity for changing media and communication environments in Africa as well as sharing published and ongoing research work on Media and Communication in East Africa and beyond.
