Call for Papers and Panel Proposals
Digital Transformations, Social Media Engagement and the Asian Century
Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia
1-3 October 2014
The ICA Regional Conference Digital Transformations, Social Media Engagement, and the Asian Century will be held at the City (Gardens Point) Campus of the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane, Australia, from 1-3 October 2014. The event is supported by the Creative Industries Faculty at QUT, the QUT Business School, the International Communications Association (ICA), and the Australian and New Zealand Communication Association (ANZCA).
The conference theme draws together three elements. First, the rise of the digital economy has meant that "born digital" firms, industries and practices are transforming media and communications industries and professions. As we live in an increasingly convergent digital environment, with associated transformations in communications law and policy, the need for conceptual and empirical mapping of such developments, and critical reflection on their wider implications for communications theory and practice, becomes essential.
Second, the rise of social media is rapidly transforming a range of communications professions and practices, such as journalism, public relations, political communication and health communication, as well as the relationship of audiences to media content. The mass communication paradigm, with its relatively stable sender-message-receiver relationships, is being shifted by a vast array of digital practices, platforms, and services, and there is an urgent need for a stocktake of what this means for the communications professions.
Finally, there has been a shift in geo-economic power balances going on for some years from the Atlantic Corridor to the Asia-Pacific, associated with the rise of Asian nations in the global economy. For example, 45% of the world's Internet users are now in the Asia-Pacific region, up from 30% in 2002, whereas North America now accounts for 15% of world Internet users, as compared to 37% in 2002. The implications of such shifts in terms of media and culture, political economy, and communications theory and scholarship, provide a key theme of this regionalconference.
Conference Papers and Panel Proposals
The conference will be seeking extended abstracts (1000-2000 words) and panel proposals related to the thematic areas of:
* Digital media and social change;
* Information media and digital journalism;
* Entertainment media and culture;

Note: there will not be a call for refereed papers. Submissions will be accepted or rejected on the basis of the extended abstract only. If this will present you with any issues in relation to conference support from your institution, please contact the conference organizers.
The conference organizers reserve the right to publish the extended abstract in a book available to all conference delegates. This does not preclude submission of the material to any refereed academic journal, book, book chapter or other publication.
Panel proposals
Panel proposals must provide a rationale for the panel of not more than 400 words, and each proposed presenter must also provide an abstract of 100-250 words. There are to be no less than three and more than four presenters in any panel proposal, although a Panel Chair and Panel Respondent can also be included.
All submissions to the Conference will be subject to peer review, and submitters will be advised of whether their proposal has been accepted or rejected no later than 21 June 2014.
All of those who have papers and panel proposals accepted will be required to register for the Conference no later than 12 September 2014. Failure to register by this date will lead to papers being withdrawn from the program.
