  The ECREA Media Industries and Cultural Production section is delighted to act as partner for the International Conference Media Industries (MI2024), taking place on 16-19 April 2024. The Conference is hosted by the Department of Culture, Media and Creative Industries, King’s College London. Paper, panel, and roundtable proposals are now open.

  After the success in 2018 of the inaugural conference ‘Media Industries: Current Debates and Future Directions’, unfortunately the planned 2020 conference had to be cancelled due to Covid lockdowns. We are therefore very pleased to announce the conference will return next year.

  A key aim of MI2024 is to maintain an open intellectual agenda and provide a meeting ground for all forms of media industries research. To this end, the conference invites proposals for papers, panels, and roundtables presenting research from across the full breadth of the media industries.

  To energize interdisciplinary discussions, we welcome proposals presenting research from all intellectual and methodological traditions in media industries scholarship. 

  Additionally, to recognize the full scope and diversity of media industries, proposals may address industries in contemporary or historical contexts, and at global, transnational, national, or sub-national levels of analysis.

  Proposals are welcomed in three categories (see full details below):

  • open call papers
    
  • pre-constituted panels
    
  • pre-constituted roundtables
    

  *PLEASE NOTE*: MI2024 will take place in-person only and we are unable to accommodate requests for virtual presentations.

  SUBMISSIONS

  The system for submitting proposal is NOW OPEN.

  Deadline for submissions is 23.00hrs Pacific Daylight Time (PDT = UTC -7) on Friday 15 September 2023

  Proposals are welcomed in three categories and should be submitted through the following links.

  1)  Open Call Papers

  Format: solo or co-presented research paper lasting no more than 20mins.

  https://form.jotform.com/231403617601344

  2)  Pre-constituted Panels

  Format: 90mins panel of 3 x 20mins OR 4 x 15mins thematically linked solo or co-presented research papers followed by questions.

  https://form.jotform.com/231404242363344

  3)  Pre-constituted Roundtables

  Format: 90mins interactive forum led by a chair bringing together 4 to 6 participants (including the chair as a participant if speaking as well as chairing) to offer short (up to 6 minute) position statements or interventions designed to trigger discussions around a central theme, issue, or problem. As such, a roundtable does not involve the presentation of formal research papers but rather is designed to create a forum for the participants and audience to engage in a shared discussion. The format is flexible and can be adapted to allow members of the roundtable to introduce exercises or other activities where appropriate.

  https://form.jotform.com/231403562356350

  Delegates will be able to make up to TWO contributions to the conference but only ONE in any category, i.e., presenting an open call paper and participating in a roundtable will be permitted but not presenting two open call papers. Chairing a panel or roundtable will NOT count as one of those contributions.

  The ECREA European Media and Communication Doctoral Summer School brings together members of the European research community to explore contemporary issues within media and communication studies. The Summer School offers a supportive international setting for European doctoral students, where you can present and develop your ongoing PhD projects and build valuable networks. Our main aim is to provide you with support, insights, and guidance through a variety of activities, including individual feedback seminars with leading media and communication scholars. 

  GENERAL INFORMATION 

  The Summer School is open to all PhD projects within the broad field of media and communication studies. We especially encourage doctoral students who are in the middle of their studies to apply, as it is our experience that participation in this phase is the most productive and useful for participants. 

  The Summer School runs over seven full working days and awards 10 ECTS credits. The working language is English; therefore, a sufficient understanding of and ability to express oneself in this language is expected.
