Hosted by the Department of Culture, Media and Creative Industries, King’s College London.
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.
