    It has been 70 years since the Japan Society for Journalism Studies 
started in 1951, and 30 years have passed since the name was changed to 
the Japan Society for Studies in Journalism and Mass Communication. 
Then, next year, it will be reborn as the Japan Association for Media, 
Journalism and Communication Studies (JAMS). With this opportunity, we 
expect to have a turning point to rejuvenate our research activities 
significantly.

    An important axis for this shift is the dramatic changes in media 
technology and the globalization of research and academic networks. The 
development of global information networks does not constitute a uniform 
media environment. Each region creates a unique social communication 
style and media culture, defined by economic, political, and 
institutional contexts. In particular, the widespread circulation of 
media and popular culture and the challenges facing journalism in East 
Asia, including Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan, have 
attracted many researchers, including those from Europe and the United 
States. With the growing attention to the East Asian region, research 
cooperation and exchanges among researchers are becoming more active and 
important, while globalization is deepening even more rapidly in the 
fields of research and education. Under such circumstances, the 
Society's international research collaboration and exchange activities 
are steadily being carried out, including the Society's commitment to 
the Japan-Korea International Symposium, held up to 25 times since 1990. 
Nevertheless, further efforts are essential given the ongoing trends on 
a global scale.

    At this international symposium, in addition to the keynote speech 
by Ito, Mamoru, the president of this Society, we invited researchers 
from overseas who have been engaged in research on the media situation 
in the East Asian region while working at universities in Hong Kong, 
Canada, and South Korea, respectively. They will talk about the research 
collaborations and exchanges they have been working on and the 
possibilities and significance of future research cooperation and 
interaction. Then, professor Hayashi, Kaori will share her experiences 
in international research collaboration and discuss the issues raised by 
the keynote speaker and panelists. Finally, we will deepen the 
discussion with all the speakers. This symposium will be held as a 
two-way online conference by Zoom with simultaneous interpretation in 
English and Japanese.
