The third and final day of European communication conference in Lisbon is about to start. Today’s sessions are mercifully scheduled to finish a time block earlier than yesterday, so the number of available sessions is smaller than on previous days. Still, the vast freedom of choice is bewildering; therefore JRN again provides an overview of sessions likely to tickle the interest of journalism scholars. The day finishes with common program in the form of ECREA general assembly and closing session, in auditorium I from 17.00 to 19.15. From there on out, it’s a party at the conference centre restaurant.
