Call for Papers: ‘Law and Policy Implications of Convergent Media’
Special Issue of International Journal of Technology Policy and Law

http://www.inderscience.com/jhome.php?jcode=ijtpl
Guest editor: Terry Flew, Professor of Media and Communication, 
Queensland University of Technology

Journal editor: Niloufer Selvadurai



This special issue of the International Journal of Technology Policy and 
Law will consider recent discussions internationally about how to 
reconfigure communication regulation to account for the impact of media 
convergence. Three drivers of such changes include: (1) the uncoupling 
of media content from specific media platforms, whereas much media 
regulation is platform-based; (2) the increasingly complex question of 
who is a media content provider, given the rise of content 
intermediaries such as Google, as well as the rapid growth of 
user-created or ‘amateur’ media content; and (3) how to achieve 
regulatory parity between media companies based within particular 
nation-states and global media companies.



Papers will consider transformations in the media environment associated 
with convergent media policies and the rise of social media. They will 
consider the extent to which common regulatory challenges, such as the 
future of copyright law and the rise of global media platforms, are 
generating the diffusion of policy innovations in the communications 
sphere, particularly around responses that focus uponregulatory design 
and behavioral change rather than black-letter law, and media content 
rules applied by government regulatory agencies, or ad hoc interventions 
by content intermediaries themselves. Papers will consider these issues 
from the perspective of both developed and developing nations.



Submissions should be in the form of an MS Word file attached to an 
email to Professor Terry Flew ((t.flew /at/ qut.edu.au)).
