Restructuring
and reorientation:

Global and local media after the recession



DEADLINE FOR
ABSTRACTS: 16 January 2011



The recent crisis in the global economy
caused turmoil in many of the worldâ??s media and content markets. In Europe and
North America the downturn in advertising compounded what seems to have been
long-term processes of decline, particularly in mature media sectors including
free-to-air broadcasting and newspaper publishing.

Advertising markets are now on the rise
once more and traditional media is beginning to recapture market share, but
significant questions require research. Did the recession act as a catalyst for
fundamental change in media industries or were the structural problems in
traditional media overstated? Does the upturn ease the pressure on managers and
organisations to change how they do business, and to rethink the businesses
they are in? And are there beneficial consequences from the shakeout in media
industries? Has the recession fostered a reorientation along with
restructuring? Are there likely to be lasting consequences? And how has the
global recession impacted local media conditions and operations?

The European Media Management Education
Associationâ??s 2011 conference will focus on challenges facing media managers in and after the recession. It will look at changes that/have/ taken place and examine the responses these required from
media firms. It provides a valuable opportunity to look at the different ways
in which change has been manifested at both global and local levels. Two
significant questions seem especially important: are the challenges facing
media organisations universal, or do they require specific national and local
solutions?

The panel of reviewers will give
consideration to all papers addressing the theme of the conference. Special
consideration will be given to international comparative studies and papers
that extend theory. Potential topics of particular relevance would include:



·        Changing and emergent business models

·        Changes in industry structures

·        New challenges in resource management

·        New patterns or dynamics in media investment and finance

·        Entrepreneurialism and innovation

·        New patterns of media consumption and implications for managers

· Emerging, changing or accelerating trends in media policy and regulation

·        New developments in media marketing

·        Generating revenues and managing costs

·        Cultural and structural transformation
