<p class="MsoNormal">As we move at full speed into a new era of technology-driven and social media connected communications, the great challenge we face is how to adapt and make the most of new opportunities. But the fast evolving media environment and new
professional and industry opportunities also effects a wide range of disciplines across the university sector. This forum presents a chance for academics alongside our industry partners to pause and consider the changes, challenges and opportunities across
our diverse media and communications industries, and to scope new directions for media and communications research and teaching.<o:p></o:p></p>
