About The Conference
For long, media professionals, leaders and luminaries, have been predicting the epochal change in the history of media. The implied sense of it is that within a period of a single human generation, access to information has evolved from relative paucity to profusion. Billions of individuals a generation ago who accessed daily information relying on a few locally-distributed newspapers, television channels, and radio stations, can in contemporary times, virtually access global information sitting in a corner of their house. The economic, historical, and societal implication of this epochal transformation in media is far more intense than Gutenberg’s creation of moveable type, Tesla’s and Marconi’s origination of broadcasting, or any other preceding development in media.
Set against the milieu of a rapidly changing mediascape, and driven by unprecedented technological advancements, ICEMP- 2020 will be a platform for critical academia-industry engagement on alternative narratives. The deliberations in the conference will open a plethora of opinions and perspectives, promulgating discourses on intermediality, prosumer culture, futuristic media and narratology in the broader context of changing media paradigms.
The two-day-conference on 9th and 10th of January, 2020 will bring together an eclectic mix of thinkers, innovators, and leaders from academia and industry to discuss, debate, and reflect upon the complex tapestry of narratives that explores the rapidly changing media paradigm. The conference aims to highlight the alternate and often divergent methods employed by contemporary media to facilitate critical academic engagement. In doing so, it intends to devise an application-based pedagogy and roadmap for media education in the times to come.
