BEA2017 Spotlight: Imagining Tomorrow’s Media: Creativity, Innovation and Monetization

The BEA2017 Convention Spotlight is… Imagining Tomorrow’s Media: Creativity, Innovation and Monetization

Creativity and innovation in media design, development and delivery lead to an increased pace in the roll out of new audio and video services. Broadcast, cable, satellite, OTT and other not yet imagined media outlets will have to navigate the competitive pressures created by a more crowded media marketplace. Media educators can take advantage of this vibrant media environment to study the impact creative innovations in media will have on our culture, curriculum, pedagogy and practice.

Imagining Tomorrow’s Media serves as a spotlight for the convention, but papers are not limited to this area of research and discussion. Papers should be submitted to the division that best fits the goals and objectives of the interest division(s) (descriptions are listed on the submission site). Each division selects up to six papers for presentation at the convention – four for presentation and two as alternates. In addition, a few papers may be selected by divisions for consideration in the Scholar-to-Scholar poster session.
