SUMMARY:Media Ecosystems Conference — Media Ecosystems Analysis Group
DESCRIPTION:2nd Exploring Media Ecosystems Conference\nMarch 2nd & 3rd\, 2020\nSamberg Conference Center at MIT\nCambridge\, Massachusetts\nAbout\nThere is a growing body of work that study digitally mediated communication\, but we need to acknowledge that no single point of view\, no single platform\, tool or method\, can account for the complexity of communication in the 21st century. Our approach is to consider the networked public sphere in terms of ecosystems\, with different elements dynamically affecting others. \nFor the second time\, this convening will bring together academics\, researchers\, practitioners\, journalists\, and funders interested in understanding the current media landscape. While the scope of the conference is necessarily broad\, this second edition will pay special attention to media ecosystems surrounding global health issues and the origin and spread of mis/disinformation. Attendees will collaborate on identifying new directions for research in this area and applications of innovative methodology to cross-platform research. \nTo learn more about this conference series\, you can explore the first edition of this conference and watch videos of the presentations. \nLocation\nThe conference will take place at the Samberg Conference Center at MIT in Cambridge\, Massachusetts. The Samberg Conference Center is located on the sixth and seventh floors of the Chang Building (E52). Street address is 50 Memorial Drive\, Cambridge\, Massachusetts 02142. Please note the conference center does not have parking. \nAgenda\nPlease download the detailed agenda here for more information on the conference offerings. \nMonday\, March 2nd \nRegistration opens at 8:30 am. \n\n\n9:00 .
