Information: Since the collapse of communism in Europe, 18 countries in Central and Eastern Europe have been going through the turmoil of societal changes that coincided with the digital revolution and the overall globalization of the media in the 1990s. They have experienced the acceleration of mediatization of society and politics, commercialization of media and journalism and a change of professional values and the emergence and rapid spread of the social media in the 2000s and 2010s. Earlier research both in the CEE countries and elsewhere has brought forth various ‘deviances’ in the development of their media and journalisms compared to the western normative models. These have often been interpreted as failures of western concepts of democratization and professionalization of media in the region. These phenomena can, however, be also seen as specificities of the democratization process in these countries, induced by particular cultural and historical circumstances. The special issue is looking for contributions focusing on the pivotal (problematic, controversial) issues and moments in the development of the CEE media and societies, and what messages they carry for the rest of Europe. 
 
 We especially welcome contributions discussing (from a comparative perspective): 
 - the practices of media ethics and accountability within the context of social media powered news ecosystem;
 - the role of cultural and historical phenomena in forming particular patterns of media environment and behavior of media professionals;
 - the trajectories of media policy and regulation;
 - the prospects of social media as an emerging ‘Fifth Estate’ within the power structures of CEE societies;
 - the current state and the potential of media literacy;
 - the promising paths of future research on media and journalism in the region;
 - the reappraisal of the normative professional model of journalism and openings of new theoretical approaches.
