New Media International Conference in India
By Morgan Sigrist
IIJ Assistant & Ambassador
The Institute for
International Journalism in the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism, Scripps
College of Communication, and Sri Padmavati Mahila Visvavidyalayam Tirupati, in
India, are organizing an International
academic conference in India. The conference is scheduled to be held from
November 20-22, 2013 in Tirupati, a popular tourist destination. The conference
is titled “Changing Landscape in Communication with New Media Technologies:
Issues and Challenges”, and will focus on themes of social engagement,
education and public health, and political discourse.
The key objective of the conference is to understand how new
media
And mobile technology can be used to enhance our
understanding of the issues of interest and to provide effective and innovative
solutions. Participants from different parts of the world will help
stimulate discussion about these issues and will provide a platform where the
significance of media technology can be discussed from different perspectives.
The organizing coordinator in India is Professor Dr. Vijaya
Lakshmi, who also is a SUSI 2012 alumnus. The Study of the U.S. Institute
(SUSI) on Journalism and Media is an annual summer institute of international
journalism scholars and media experts from universities and academic
institutions from around the world. The SUSI summer institute is funded by an
annual renewable grant from the U.S. Department of State's Study
of the U.S. Branch in the Office of Academic Exchange Programs.
“ Different countries at different stages of development may
have different range of salient issues. For example, for developed countries, social
engagement and political discourse may be more important issues, whereas for
developing countries, fundamental issues like education and public health may
have more importance. Bringing together scholars from
different countries and sociopolitical environments may create great
opportunities for mutual learning,” said Dr. Jatin Srivastava, one of the
conference directors.
Dr. Srivastava observed that new media technology is
increasingly becoming a dominant tool to address various social, political, and
economic issues; this will provide a common frame of reference to participants
to think about these problems and evaluate media and technology-based
solutions.
The conference is inviting abstracts and articles from
academicians and practitioners from countries all over the world; these
submissions may cover qualitative or quantitative research and may also be
about media based initiatives like campaign and new media products.
