[ecrea] CFP: Media Innovations Symposium 2017

*ISMI 2017*
The sixth annual International Symposium on Media Innovations (ISMI)
16-17 October 2017 - Tallinn University, Estonia. The symposium is 
organised by Tallinn University Centre of Excellence in Media Innovation 
and Digital Culture (MEDIT).

The symposium will be held in Tallinn, Estonia, immediately before the 
AoIR 2017 conference in another Estonian town Tartu (18-21 October).

The symposium will unite academic researchers and industry 
representatives to discuss how innovations happen in contemporary media. 
The symposium is oriented both towards theorisation of media innovation 
phenomena as well learning about evidence, innovation strategies and 
considering their policy implications.

The focus of ISMI is on the dynamics of change in all kinds of 
contemporary media. We aim to explore how the complex interrelationships 
between changing technologies, economic environment, modes of usage or 
policy imperatives bring about the transformation of the media industry. 
The symposium will work towars a dialogue between media industries and 
academic media resereach.
