CONFERENCE
Media and Communication in the New Global Economy:
A Conference in Honor of Herbert I. Schiller
organized by Ellen Seiter and Yuezhi Zhao
University of California, San Diego October 2-3, 1999
For complete information see: http://communication.ucsd.edu/schiller.html
This conference (free and open to the public) features leading senior scholars for one weekend (October 2-3, 1999) at UCSD to discuss, in dialogue with UCSD faculty, alumni and graduate students, the complex issues involved in the contemporary political economy of communications media.
At the heart of the economic restructuring of the last two decades is the transformation of the world's electronic information infrastructure into a network capable of flinging signals -- including voices, images, videos, and data to the far ends of the earth. These changes have affected those fortunate enough to own a computer and have access to the Internet in dramatic ways and profoundly changed the forms and structures of media production. Somewhat less widely reported by the press, however, are the ways that these changes in communication infrastructures have affected everything from production scheduling and product engineering to accounting, advertising, banking, and training. The drive behind these changes has produced a worldwide shift in communication policy from public service policies to market driven tenets. Speakers addressing these topics will be encouraged to present policy position papers, present research on the social impacts of new media technologies, or analyze the political economics of the converging entertainment, computer, telecommunications industries.
