The Division in Audience Studies is a platform for researchers who have 
their focus on the people in the media landscape, be it audiences, 
users, publics, or participants. The Audience Studies division is open 
to various approaches (theoretical/critical works, methodological 
discussions or empirical studies) and methods (quantitative, 
qualitative, mixed methods).

We welcome researchers who feel that the concept of audiences deserves a 
distinctly cross-disciplinary and cross-media approach where audiences 
can be considered both medium-specific as well as beyond any given 
medium and disciplinary boundaries. We invite studies which help to 
understand how changes in medium (like TV, radio, social media service, 
newspaper etc.) influence us as audiences, as well as studies that seek 
to understand the mutual shaping where the changing viewer, listener or 
user, producer practices also changes the medium. These kinds of mutual 
relationships provide a focus for our research.

We welcome research which addresses the ways in which audiences engage 
with the digital media landscape and negotiate the challenges of 
platformization and datafication, as well as research that look at 
audiences that transcend mediums and follow information and 
entertainment flows across platforms. These kinds of mobilities and 
cross-media audience practices result in theoretical and methodological 
challenges that can be addressed in the division discussions. We look 
forward to papers that address audiences both as individual practices 
worth investigating as well as global changes challenged by media 
environments.

Audience Division Chair: Pille Pruulmann-Vengerfeldt

Co-chairs: Kim Christian Schrøder, Annette Hill, Marika Lüders
