It's not too late to submit
a paper to Asia's leading Media and Communications conference to be held in Singapore on
June 25/28. The Asian Media and Communications Research Centre (AMIC) is this
year jointly holding its annual conference with the World Journalism Education
Conference (WJEC). While WJRC closed submissions earlier this month, AMIC
papers will be accepted until March 31.
(See: http://www.amic-wjec.org/conf_factsheet.htm
)
AMIC is a unique, Asian
centred Institution for Media and Communications research and professional
development. Established in 1970, AMIC has members from Academia, Industry and
Government in 28 countries.
AMIC offers a recognised and
credible alternative to western paradigms where Americans and Europeans
dominated dialogue on Asian affairs. As AMIC's Australian Board member, I urge
you to tap into its unrivalled intellectual reservoir of conferences, training
sessions, journals, books papers and CDs. (See: http://www.amic.org.sg/)
AMIC's part of the Singapore
conference will explore “Media Education and Development: The Quest for
New Paradigms”. Papers are invited on the following themes and topics:
Human Rights, Alternative and Community Media, Media and Culture Media
Education, Media and Youth Media, Conflict and Crises, New Media and Digital
Technology, Media and Development, Media Law and Regulation, Media and Gender,
Media, Democracy and Communication Theories and Asian Perspectives,
International Communication, Broadcasting and Media Industry Trends and
Dynamics.
Presentations at the conference can meet Australian
DEST requirements.
