*Preamble*

The 21^st Century is not only the information age, but also the era of 
the knowledge economy where human work is increasingly shifting towards 
two kinds of tasks – (1) solving problems for which standard operating 
procedures do not currently exist, and (2) working with new information 
by acquiring it, making sense of it, and communicating it to others. 
Individuals have moved online and are rapidly adopting new technologies 
and communication strategies that give them unlimited access to content 
generation and consumption plus unprecedented connection to individuals 
around the world. As much as these developments have had unprecedented 
impact on growth and development across societies, they have also 
created some challenges. However, many have chosen to see such 
challenges as opportunities for further development, particularly in 
democratic dispensations where citizens' participation in the process of 
governance takes the front burner. African societies and indeed Nigeria 
is not left out in the mix. Their citizens have significantly embraced 
digitalization, and have become massive and active consumers of mass 
media messages amidst their quest to exercise their democratic rights. 
The Association of Media and Communication Researchers of Nigeria 
(AMCRON) in its 2nd International Conference & Annual General Meeting is 
set to examine the perspectives of scholars in this regard. The 
conference hopes to capture the emerging essences in media exposures; 
the increasingly visible place of the digital citizen and its influence 
on social processes; and the place of democracy. It is an invitation to 
evaluate the meanings in these dimensions and the potential for social, 
cultural, economic and political evolutions, through the prism of media 
and communication. The conference is expected to be exhaustive in its 
scrutiny of the sectors for depth and appreciation of possibilities in a 
bid to shape the present and the future through the broadening of 
perspectives and the contextualization of notions. The lived experiences 
of participants would be brought to bear on the presentations and 
discussions as the conference promises to be lively, interactive and 
scholarly.
