The role of media in shaping our perception of reality is undeniable. 
This conference delves into the intricate processes through which media 
constructs and influences our understanding of the world. Adopting a 
constructionist perspective, we recognize that meaning and reality are 
socially constructed. It is not the material world but social actors who 
actively create meaning through language and representation. At the same 
time, the conference also spotlights the transformative potential of 
constructive media. This emerging paradigm challenges traditional 
narratives by emphasizing positive impact, solutions, and empowerment. 
Constructive media transcends sensationalism and doom-scrolling. It 
focuses on solutions, innovations, progress and recognizes audiences as 
active participants rather than passive recipients. By highlighting 
successful approaches to societal challenges, constructive media 
inspires hope and encourages collective action.

The conference aims to answer questions such as: How does media 
contribute to our shared social reality? What narratives emerge from 
news stories, and how do they shape our understanding of the world? How 
can media contribute to a better understanding of the world around us 
instead of being a tool for divisiveness and disinformation.

Join us on ACMC's 18th year of engaging in thought-provoking 
discussions, challenge assumptions, and explore the dynamic interplay 
between media and the construction of social reality.

Subthemes include, but are not limited to:

  * Ethics vis-a-vis media realities
  * Media construction in public relations and advertising
  * Language as a tool for media construction
  * Post-pandemic media realities
  * AI challenges to education
  * Gender and diversity
  * Hashtags, Emojis and Semiotics
  * Mobile networked communities
  * Legacy media in a state of flux
  * Disinformation and deconstruction
  * Future of Development Communication
