Media industries, media services and companies continue to evolve,
creating important challenges for policymakers and regulators globally.
Many traditional media are impacted, and some may be facing a bleak
economic future. New, online networks are exploring new business models
for producing news and entertainment. Main drivers for this
transformation are globalisation, digitalisation and technological
convergence. Socio-cultural media policy objectives, striving to
safeguard pluralism, diversity and national culture are battling for
prominence with the economic and industrial imperatives of a global free
market and open competition. Free market media systems advocate freedom
of expression, allowing consumers open market pricing. Critics argue
that under a free market capitalist system there is concentration of
power and information asymmetry, while public service content is scarce.
Is intervention by government policy needed to address these concerns,
or is media regulation a thing of the past in the converged digital era?

There is certainly a question of regulatory capacity and remit in the
online world. The initial light-touch 'network' governance of the
internet is under pressure from the tech giants Netflix, Facebook,
Twitter, Google, Apple, Microsoft and Amazon. The size and internet
presence of these firms has brought issuesof piracy and abuse of
copyright to public attention. Do these corporations bear any
responsibility for even inadvertently facilitating the increased ease of
distribution of terrorist propaganda, hate speech, violence and
harassment, and online bullying? Should the current regulatory policy
continue? What new national and supranational policy measures might
address these issues? Regulating Facebook and Twitter -- something
unthinkable a few years ago -- is now openly discussed. Should
policy-makers perceive these large multi-national conglomerates as
internet intermediaries or media companies?

We invite works to reflect and critically investigate media policies for
the future,in relation to both prevailing systems of communication and
the systems now emerging around the application of online networks, the
rise of cloud computing, and the internet of things. In exploring the
implications of media and communication in an interconnected world, we
also welcome analysis that reassesses and reimagines sustainability in
relation to media openness, transparency, accessibility, and the
re-composition of media power. We request submissions focussed on
current and future policy topics in an open way, and seek many points of
view.

The future facing theme of this Call for Papers signals the broadened
scope ofthe /International Journal of Digital Television/that goes
beyond digital television to incorporate emerging wider socio-cultural,
technological, regulatory and political questions such as the role of
'digital citizens', the regulatory environment for the new platform
industry, and the role of state regulation in an increasingly global
media industry.

We invite you to celebrate the 10\^th year of the Journal with us and to
take a look into the future of media policy.
