of International Conference on Media and Communication 2015 held at 
Amity University, Rajasthan, Denis McQuail stressed in the future of the 
field of communication. He pointed out that “Communication science is 
the study of the uses and languages of media for purposes of control and 
influence, for self-expression, for social and cultural identity 
forming. It requires attention to the structures of the flow of 
‘messages’ and to the various norms and rules governing public and 
private communication in a variety of contexts”.

The research on media and communication has always been in a state of 
constant change. During our last two conferences (ICMCS 2011 and 2015) 
we sought the paradigm shifts happening in media and communication 
disciplines. The scholars from various corners of the world and came and 
uncovered the complexities of understanding media and communication. 
From this point, we are presenting the International Conference on 
Media and Communication Studies and focusing on the theme “Contemporary 
Trends in Media Theories and Practices”.
The ever-changing nature of academic discipline constantly leads to 
reshape the scope of research areas. Communication, as an academic 
discipline, is of no exception. Turn of the 21st century, media 
consumers are increasingly signing for direct satellite, rushing to buy 
large screen plasma sets and growing dependent on services provided by 
the internet. Additionally, post -Cold War period gave rise to 
international capitalism, which forces MNC’s to reach into every corner 
of the world. These privatization trends have enormous effects on 
telecommunications generally and mass media systems specifically. Other 
than this, the influence of the internet and mobile technologies is 
reinforced, allowing people to have on demand access to any content at 
any place and at any time.

The mass communication, as an academic discipline, always shows how 
societal upheaval and new technological inventions leads to the 
development of different theories and novel research areas about the 
role of media. As rapid industrialization was linked to the rise of mass 
society theory, the rise of totalitarian regime occasioned the growth of 
propaganda theory; contemporary media theories and new avenues for 
research will definitely evolve and is evolving to accommodate the rapid 
alternations between people and media. With the development of the 
internet and mobile technologies, several research areas have opened up 
concentrating on the nature and trend of new forms of media and its 
online content. Several research areas are coming up revolving this new 
form of medium.
