CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The fifth International Symposium on Media Innovations will unite 
scholars and industry representatives to discuss innovation in the media 
industry. As the media sector is in flux, many challenges and 
opportunities will be addressed in this symposium.

The symposium will be held in the University of Oslo, Norway, where the 
first symposium was held in 2012.
The focus of the Media Innovations symposium is on evolutions and trends 
in the different media sectors. We aim to explore how changing 
technologies, and changing modes of usage and engagement with media 
bring about innovation and transformation of the media industry. The 
symposium will be in two parts: An industry session and an academic 
session, both covering innovations in all media sectors.

We invite submissions for papers on any aspect of media innovation, 
including the following topics:
* Innovation research through design
* Innovation in formats and genre
* Innovation in news
* Innovation in entertainment
* Innovation in business models
* Innovation in distribution and delivery (reaching the audience in new 
ways) * Innovation in use
* Innovation in cross- and trans-media production, delivery, and use
* Innovation in advertising formats and strategies.
* Failed innovations: New products that did not succeed.

Submissions will be peer-reviewed. Extended abstracts of proposed 
papers, ­750 word
maximum, should be sent to <(symposium /at/ mediainnovations.no)>.

Deadlines and Dates:
15 May, 2016: extended abstracts due
June, 2016: notice of acceptance 15 September, 2016: full papers due

Best paper award will be announced during the conference. Selected 
papers from the symposium will be published in a special issue of the
