Apologies for cross posting.

Reminder, we are now into the final month for the submission of proposals
to the conference Media Industries. Deadline for submissions is 23.00hrs
Pacific Daylight Time (PDT = UTC -7) on Friday 15 September 2023.

International Conference
Media Industries
16-19 April 2024
Hosted by the Department of Culture, Media and Creative Industries, King’s
College London

Paper, panel, and roundtable proposals are now invited for the 2024 ‘Media
Industries’ conference (‘MI2024’).

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 (see below) 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.

REGISTRATION
All delegates will need to register for the conference.

Registration for the conference will go live in November 2023, and fees
will be structured on the basis of full (academics, waged) and reduced
(students, unwaged) status, and tiered according to the delegate’s country
of residence using the World Bank’s country classifications by Gross
National Income per capita.

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.

Papers (either open call or as part of a pre-constituted panel) maybe
presented individually or by a pair of co-presenters.
