The aim of this Working Group is to examine and critique the main features of the continuing transformations of the global media in terms of production and consumption and of the communicative environment in which these transformations are taking place.
Chair: Marc Raboy [Contact]
This Working Group examines the main features of the continuing transformations of the global media and especially innovative practices in participatory communication governance beyond the nation state. It has a particular interest in new forms of multi-actor governance and initiatives to promote partnerships among different stakeholders as well as their implications for the reality and potential of democratic processes with respect to principles, criteria, guidelines and recommendations for effective and efficient innovation in governance models.

Mapping the Global Media and Communication Policy
LandscapeThere is growing interest in the international
and global governance of media and communication amongst scholars and policy
makers, as well as civil society organizations and trans-national issue
networks. At the same time Global Media Policy (GMP) as a field of research
appears to be under-theorized, not well defined in its boundaries and open to
controversial interpretations regarding the main processes and actors involved.
In order to address such challenges, the Global
Media Policy working group is proposing a collaborative exercise to develop a
framework for mapping the landscape of global media policy and governance
processes. Mapping actors, processes and research activities can be considered
as a first step in the identification, investigation and critical reflection on
the major trends and challenges that characterize contemporary media and
communication governance processes in the global context. This exercise will
contribute in strengthening the interaction among interested scholars and in
producing a relevant policy-oriented resource in the form of a database: an
open ended collection of information to be organized and managed within the
IAMCR Global Media Policy working group. Read more...  Download the draft framework here (24.63 KB)
