Overview
The World Media Economics and Management Conference (World Media Economics Conference until 2006) is the biennial meeting of the global community of media business scholars. Over the last 28 years the WMEMC brings scholars worldwide together to reflect on contemporary issues in the economics and management of media industries and firms.
Details
Media economics and management studies have widely reacted to transformational change in media industries both in the impact on consumers and the media companies, organizations and business. There is now a considerable body of published research examining- the dynamic digital media landscape and industry activities to adapt in social, economic, environmental and organizational terms. Regardless of geographical location, media industries continuously refine strategies and practices of adaptation to cope with the so-called the shift between the Fourth and Fifth Industrial Revolutions. More evidence and deeper understanding is needed regarding causes, drivers, and implications, including characteristic path dependencies that affect and may be affected by media consumers with ramifications for dependencies in future generations. As we deal with the multifaced uncertainties of today’s media environment, deeper understandings are especially needed to clarify a complex and turbulent context characterized by climate change, military conflicts, misinformation and propaganda, cybercrime, AI, populism, an erosion of democratic values, perforations of media ethics and imbalances in the plurality of voices.
Media management and economics in turbulent times is a timely focus for the 2025 conference. The WMEMC community will investigate, discuss and work to develop insights on contemporary conditions and emerging challenges in the media environment for media industries and organizations, business and revenue, citizens and societies, devices and technologies, politics and policies. Putting the discipline of media management and economics research at the center of a troubled context invites critical interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary analytical perspectives on the influences and implications of pressing contemporary challenges that will shape and reshape the future.
Focus and Objectives
The focus for the WMEMC 2025 centers on examining, analyzing and developing insights to deepen understandings of the rapid pace and complexity of change in media industries to both advance theory in the field and support practical efforts to develop media in the many aspects of key interest. These certainly include financial, structural, technological, cultural, societal, political and ideological aspects of media and media-society relations. We seek answers to questions of fundamental importance for understanding what and how media industries, organizations, and professionals need to prepare for the future and how both professional practice and media research and education must adapt to be useful.
