<div style="font-size: 14px;">You are invited to submit proposal for the eighth biennial RIPE public service media studies conference, to be held <span style="font-family: Arial;">22 - 24 September 2016 in Antwerp and Brussels, and </span>hosted by the Department
of Communication Studies at the University of Antwerp (U Antwerpen) in collaboration with the Free University of Brussels (VUB), and sponsored by Flemish public service broadcaster VRT.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;"><br>
</div>
<div>The theme of RIPE@2016 will focus on the characteristics, dynamics and <span style="font-size: 14px;">implications of a networked society for public service media [PSM]. In recent years, discussions about the changing media ecology and PSM’s place and
role have prioritised the notion of a networked society, enabled by digitisation and characterised by audience fragmentation and the interconnectedness of technologies, communities, media practices and companies. The emerging ecology is highly disruptive to
market structures and modes of communication in the mass media era. The concept and practices associated with networked communications in a networked society are celebrated, but merit critical scrutiny.</span></div>
