On the final day of the conference, two parallel panels took place. The first panel was dedicated to media representations and was opened and moderated by Professor Viktorija Car with the topic Media Narratives and Media Frames in Reporting and Representing Refugees and Migrants.
Following this, three presentations focused on the portrayal of Ukrainian refugees in Croatian media. Barbara Ravbar from Charles University in Prague presented Victims or Survivors? Representation of the Ukrainian Refugees in the Croatian Online Media. This was followed by PhD candidate and assistant Vanja Pavlov, who spoke on Reporting on Ukrainian Refugees in the Croatian Media: Humanity Media Frame. The story of Ukrainian refugees was rounded out by postdoctoral researcher Leali Osmančević from the Catholic University of Croatia with the presentation Children Beyond Borders: Understanding Visual Portrayal of Ukrainian Children in Croatian Media.
The final presentation in this panel was by PhD candidate and assistant from our study program, Antea Boko, on Media Portrayal of Foreign Workers in Croatia: Are They Victims, Threats, or a Necessity.
At the same time, a student panel titled Media Literacy Projects took place. The panel was opened by Assistant Professor Nebojša Lujanović with a short lecture on Media vs. Textual Literacy: New Media, New Alphabet, in which he defined key concepts and issues related to the topic.
Tonči Gabelić continued the panel with a research presentation titled Venus & Eros: Gender Representation in Croatian Music Videos, addressing issues of objectification, sexualization, and the concept of the male gaze prevalent in the Croatian music scene.
The panel was concluded by our first-year students presenting their projects on the potential of media in the context of activism. Rita Aničić and Marijeta Babik presented the project New Media Possibilities: Bradata Aukcija as an Example of an Activist Movement Originating in Our City, while Martina Gugić and Daria Vusić focused on the global environmental activism movement on the rapidly growing platform TikTok through their project The Impact of TikTok on Environmental Activism.
We concluded the conference with presentations of video projects created by students who participated in the three-day Mobile Journalism Storytelling Workshop, led by Professor Tena Perišin and Dejan Oblak from the Faculty of Political Science, University of Zagreb. Five projects were showcased on topics including: Communication and Media Studies, the Betonization of Split, Life in Split, a Reportage about Varož, and Picigin.
