[Commlist] 1-day Conference on Media Policy in South Asia (IAMCR Side-Event)

Thu Jul 08 20:10:03 GMT 2021




INSTITUTIONS, INTERVENTIONS, TRANSGRESSIONS: GLOCAL MEDIA POLICIES AND PRAXIS FROM SOUTH ASIA
An IAMCR 2021 Side event
Sponsored by the Global Media Policy Working Group
Saturday, July 10, 2021 --- 10h30 to 17h00 Indian Standard Time  (05h00 to 11h30 UTC)

This side event organised by the Global Media Policy Working Group presents a day-long engagement on media policies and practices from the South Asian region. The region itself has been under-studied in media policy research, and is underrepresented in studies on the interfacing of the global with the local. This side event seeks to not only contextualize recent work on media policies from the region within larger historical debates on media ownership and communication flows, but also seeks to open up possible conversations on research in global media policies from the South(s) and their amenability for comparative purposes.

Conveners:
   - Dr. Preeti Raghunath, Co-Vice Chair, Global Media Policy Working Group
    - Susan Koshy, PhD Candidate, Hong Kong Baptist University
