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. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'>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. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'>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. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p
