The Twenty Seventh Annual Conference of the Arab-US Association for Communication Educators Kuwait University
Changing Media Landscapes: Convergence and Fragmentation
Media platforms have developed at an unprecedented rate recently, disrupting traditional models for publishing, broadcasting, and advertising and creating a need for identifying new models. As media become more fragmented and at the same time converge, implications can be seen across several different areas, such as the way people access media, how media are marketed, and how the media industry is changing.
The main objectives of this conference are to discuss, analyze, and critique topics related to those phenomena and to contribute to the academic debate about new media models and theory. The subjects and themes covered in the conference will include, without being limited to:
History of media fragmentation and convergence in media landscape
Digital and social media fragmentation and convergence in media landscape
Changes in media theories and research in a fragmented and converged media landscape
New media for media education in a fragmented and converged media landscape
