The CP&T Section’s focus is on communication policy, with a keen interest in the socio-economic aspects of technological change. The Section welcomes research that bridges between theory and practice, and theoretical and empirical studies, by offering scientific reflection as well as guidelines for political action. The CP&T Section does not adhere to any single philosophical or theoretical school but encourages research that is critical and counter-intuitive.

Istanbul 2011 - Communication Policy and Technology Call for Papers |
|
The Communication Policy and Technology (CP&T) Section invites submissions for its open sessions at the IAMCR 2011 conference to be held in Istanbul (Turkey) from July 13-17. The IAMCR conference theme for 2011 is ‘Cities, Creativity, Connectivity’.
In the network society the media and telecommunication landscape of one-way broadcasting and two-way personal communication is transforming into a digitized, converged and interactive ecosystem, based on internet technologies and applications. This transformation has also driven the development of horizontal networks of interactive communication that connect local and global in chosen time. Castells labels this new form of socialized communication as ‘mass self-communication’, and sees it as a potential new medium for power and counter-power.
