International Conference
Media Industries
16-19 April 2024
Hosted by the Department of Culture, Media and Creative Industries, King’s College London
Paper, panel, and roundtable proposals are now invited for the 2024 ‘Media Industries’ conference (‘MI2024’).
After the success in 2018 of the inaugural conference ‘Media Industries: Current Debates and Future Directions’, unfortunately the planned 2020 conference had to be cancelled due to Covid lockdowns. We are therefore very pleased to announce the conference will return next year.
A key aim of MI2024 is to maintain an open intellectual agenda and provide a meeting ground for all forms of media industries research.
To this end, the conference invites proposals for papers, panels, and roundtables presenting research from across the full breadth of the media industries.
To energize interdisciplinary discussions, we welcome proposals presenting research from all intellectual and methodological traditions in media industries scholarship.
Additionally, to recognize the full scope and diversity of media industries, proposals may address industries in contemporary or historical contexts, and at global, transnational, national, or sub-national levels of analysis.
Proposals (see below) are welcomed in three categories (see full details below):
• open call papers
• pre-constituted panels
• pre-constituted roundtables
*PLEASE NOTE*: MI2024 will take place in-person only and we are unable to accommodate requests for virtual presentations.

SUBMISSIONS
The system for submitting proposal is NOW OPEN.
Deadline for submissions is 23.00hrs Pacific Daylight Time (PDT = UTC -7) on Friday 15 September 2023
Proposals are welcomed in three categories and should be submitted through the following links.
1) Open Call Papers
Format: solo or co-presented research paper lasting no more than 20mins.
https://form.jotform.com/231403617601344
2) Pre-constituted Panels
Format: 90mins panel of 3 x 20mins OR 4 x 15mins thematically linked solo or co-presented research papers followed by questions.
https://form.jotform.com/231404242363344
3) Pre-constituted Roundtables
Format: 90mins interactive forum led by a chair bringing together 4 to 6 participants (including the chair as a participant if speaking as well as chairing) to offer short (up to 6 minute) position statements or interventions designed to trigger discussions around a central theme, issue, or problem. As such, a roundtable does not involve the presentation of formal research papers but rather is designed to create a forum for the participants and audience to engage in a shared discussion. The format is flexible and can be adapted to allow members of the roundtable to introduce exercises or other activities where appropriate.
https://form.jotform.com/231403562356350
Delegates will be able to make up to TWO contributions to the conference but only ONE in any category, i.e., presenting an open call paper and participating in a roundtable will be permitted but not presenting two open call papers. Chairing a panel or roundtable will NOT count as one of those contributions.
Papers (either open call or as part of a pre-constituted panel) maybe presented individually or by a pair of co-presenters.
