Call for Paper Proposals
The World Media Economics and Management Conference 2025
Reinventing Management for Turbulent Times: Confronting the Next Wave of Digital Disruption
May 20-24, 2025
City host: Warsaw, Poland|



Background

Media economics and management studies have widely reacted to transformational change in media industries both in the impact on consumers and the media companies, organizations and business. There is now a considerable body of published research examining- the dynamic digital media landscape and industry activities to adapt in social, economic, environmental and organizational terms. Regardless of geographical location, media industries continuously refine strategies and practices of adaptation to cope with the so-called the shift between the Fourth and Fifth Industrial Revolutions. More evidence and deeper understanding is needed regarding causes, drivers, and implications, including characteristic path dependencies that affect and may be affected by media consumers with ramifications for dependencies in future generations. As we deal with the multifaced uncertainties of today’s media environment, deeper understandings are especially needed to clarify a complex and turbulent context characterized by climate change, military conflicts, misinformation and propaganda, cybercrime, AI, populism, an erosion of democratic values, perforations of media ethics and imbalances in the plurality of voices.

Media management and economics in turbulent times is a timely focus for the 2025 conference. The WMEMC community will investigate, discuss and work to develop insights on contemporary conditions and emerging challenges in the media environment for media industries and organizations, business and revenue, citizens and societies, devices and technologies, politics and policies. Putting the discipline of media management and economics research at the center of a troubled context invites critical interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary analytical perspectives on the influences and implications of pressing contemporary challenges that will shape and reshape the future.



Focus and Objectives

The focus for the WMEMC 2025 centers on examining, analyzing and developing insights to deepen understandings of the rapid pace and complexity of change in media industries to both advance theory in the field and support practical efforts to develop media in the many aspects of key interest. These certainly include financial, structural, technological, cultural, societal, political and ideological aspects of media and media-society relations. We seek answers to questions of fundamental importance for understanding what and how media industries, organizations, and professionals need to prepare for the future and how both professional practice and media research and education must adapt to be useful.



The Purview of Research

WMEMC is a diverse and inclusive community of researchers and practitioners from around the world. We welcome submissions on the conference theme from a wide range of approaches and themes from all parts of the world. Past conferences have welcomed participants from the Americas, Asia, Australia, Africa, Europe and many countries in Global South and north. We are keen to invite interdisciplinary and diverse approaches to answering questions about the effects of turbulence on economic and managerial aspects of media. We welcome policy makers, experts and academics from every discipline and all media industries with cognate interest to join the discussion. We believe multidisciplinary and cross disciplinary exploration is crucial for innovation in theory and practice. We therefore invite paper proposals addressing the following areas in particular, and are open to other aspects as well:

Economic and managerial implications of turbulent times for companies, organizations and strategies within and across media industries and related cultural, creative and communications sectors. Implications of technological developments in AI, AR/VR/MR, algorithms, data and metadata, platformization and networked organizations, smart zones and consequences for the media economy, media management and digital well-being. Changes in the profile of media users and audiences, in user expectations, and implications related to patterns across generations: Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, Generation Z, and Generation Alpha. Challenges for media ethics and in media policy and regulatory environments, sectors and society, sustainability of media systems. Projects and initiatives related to media economics and management that are pertinent to innovation in media industries in turbulent times. Other questions and issues that challenge, extend and/or add to contemporary knowledge in the fields of media economic and management.
