**Overview**

This theme issue of *MIA* will explore the state of television in the
age of the internet -- its audiences, its distributors and its content
creators. Papers are invited that will explore both the continuities
with the past and the changes that are taking place in a current global
TV landscape that is characterized by a proliferation of modes of
delivery and access, different kinds of content and changes to the ways
in which audiences watch television.  Topics that might be considered
include:

**Regulation.**

What are the constraints of regulation, existing infrastructure and
entrenched interests?  To what extent will the future of television to
be determined by what has gone before? Will rule-makers and gatekeepers
break[ing]{style="text-decoration: line-through;"} with the past,
allowing a shift to a future where content can be accessed across
technologies and borders?  What are the roles of local content and local
content quotas in an increasingly globalized industry?

**Economics**

How are the old "rules" of global and domestic
television businesses being challenged? For example, does easier access
to global mass markets mean an increasing dominance of the 'blockbuster'
in television as well as film? And if audiences are gravitating to
global hit content, how do content creators adapt? Is increased
competition for content from digitised broadcast channels and
internet-enabled streaming services opening new opportunities for
content creators?

**Content and Reception**

We would also like to invite submissions that consider issues of content
and audience practices. How do today's audiences consume
television?  How does internet-distributed television
enable[s]{style="text-decoration: line-through;"} new ways to monetize
content? How do changing distribution windows affect the type of content
that is being produced and the ways in which it is being consumed?

Full articles (5000 words maximum) will need to be submitted by 9
January 2017 via the *MIA* website submission system.

Queries should be sent to Sue Turnbull at: <sturnbul@uow.edu.au>
