[ecrea] Call for Papers: From Traditional to Digital International Media Researches Symposium

Call for Papers: International Media Research Symposium: From 
Traditional to Digital (IMRS)

Ege University /Antalya AKEV University

10-11 May 2018 Izmir / TURKEY

Today’s societies are composed of media tools that are active in every 
moment and sphere of daily life, as well as individuals who gain 
advanced communication skills through the use of these tools. Radically 
changing our lifestyles, everyday habits, and activities in private and 
public spaces, media are at the core of academic studies.

Digital media contribute significantly in the contemporary skills of 
creating and transmitting images, sounds and texts. This contribution is 
reinforced by the great possibilities available for storing data, images 
and documents. Thus, digital media tools, which go beyond being daily 
habits, become an extension of the human body, providing a constant and 
effective field of interaction. Aware of the field’s effective 
interaction capabilities, traditional media tools try to become involved 
in it through hashtags, audience questions and comments, video footage 
of every day people or films and publishing insights reflected on 
digital platforms.

This symposium aims to create an academic environment that will enable 
us to deal with media through the axis of traditional and digital, in a 
multidimensional way. For this purpose, the following topics could be 
evaluated in terms of traditional and digital media tools.

IMRS aims to provide a scientific platform for sharing and discussion in 
the fields of traditional and digital media with participants from 
different countries. At the same time, the symposium offers 
opportunities to learn about contemporary developments in media 
research, research methods, digital applications, and research models 
within the contexts of traditional and digital media. The symposium is 
bilingual, and papers can be presented either in English or Turkish.

Symposium will bring together academicians, researchers, practitioners 
and post-graduate students and provide opportunities to exchange 
information and share experiences, studies, new ideas, research findings 
and conclusions on related issues.

We invite you to participate in our symposium to share your expertise, 
experiences and research findings in the field of media research. We 
appreciate your valuable contributions to hold a productive meeting and 
hope to be together with you.
