#### FOCUS

Studies of media industries have formed a distinctive strand of media
scholarship. Foundational traditions in this field are marked by the
political economy of communications, sociology of media occupations and
institutions, media economics, media industry historiography, and
critical and cultural studies. Subsequently, insights drawn from
critical legal studies, cultural policy studies, economic geography,
creative labour, cultural economy, Internet studies, production cultures
and informal media economies have diversified and enriched the field.

In part this interest arises from contemporary changes within the media
industries themselves, with the global extension and integration of
media markets, digitalization of media production and distribution,
changing business models, proliferation of supply channels, patterns of
corporate convergence, and the blurring of producer/consumer relations.
These are only the most recent development, however, of industries built
on complex and contested histories.

With the boom in media industries scholarship and emergence of dedicated
degree programmes or single modules, studies of industry have gained a
visible place in media curricula. This conference is therefore providing
an international and interdisciplinary forum for reviewing the past and
present state of media industry studies, and defining the future of the
field.

Papers, panels and workshop are invited from all traditions in media
industries scholarship. We welcome work across the full breadth of media
industries -- print, publishing and journalism, advertising, recorded
music, film/cinema, radio, television, video, games, mobile
communications and social media -- and in all international or
historical contexts.

Thematic concerns include but are not limited to:

- critical and conceptual perspectives
- methodological approaches
- cultural and creative industries
- political economy
- production cultures and studies
- economic sociology
- de-westernizing media industry studies
- distribution studies
- gatekeepers and intermediaries
- cultural and economic globalization
- impacts of digitalization
- independent and alternative media institutions
- media industries historiography
- cooperative and competitive inter-industry interactions
- law and the shaping of media industries
- marketing and branding media content
- media management
- media markets and flows
- retail and sales of media
- networks, infrastructures and ecologies
- ownership and concentration
- policy and regulation
- politics of media labour
- teaching media industries
- media technologies as these relate to media industries

rel="noopener noreferrer noopener nofollow noopener noreferrer nofollow noreferrer nofollow nofollow">Department
of Film Studies at King’s College London</a> are excited to announce a
one day cinema, media and urbanism symposium. Life in the contemporary
metropolis poses a range of challenges such as overpopulation,
pollution, gentrification, urban sprawl and socio-political conflict.
While it is widely acknowledged that cinema and media play an active
role in efforts to negotiate these environmental obstacles, just how and
to what effect they do so remains an open and fertile field of academic
research. A series of papers, including keynote presentations by Prof
Myria Georgiou (LSE) and Dr Lawrence Webb (University of Sussex), will
aim to reposition vital elements of this evolving debate and analyse the
current impact of cinema and media on the world’s cities in crisis. This
one day symposium will conclude with a screening of Enrico
Masi’s<em> Sur Les Jeux Olympiques,</em> a round table discussion
chaired by Dr Scott Rodgers (Birkbeck, University of
London)<em> </em>and a wine reception.</p>
