IAMCR 2022 Beijing pre- conference

8 July 2022

Digital Governance and Transcultural Communications: values and strategies
in an era of neo-globalisation, digitalisation and platformisation

This one-day hybrid preconference aims to explore policy and governance
strategies emerging from the development and use of digital communications
technologies and their impacts on transcultural communications, with a
focus on the themes of neo-globalization, digitalisation and
platformisation.

It seeks to address some fundamental questions that may help in
strengthening digital governance approaches and facilitating safe,
productive and inclusive transcultural communications:

   -

     What are the critical contests around digital governance of
   transnational and transcultural communications platforms? How do they
   exemplify difference in values and ethics between key stakeholders?
   -

     What are the crucial components of digital governance strategies, and
   how are these evolving in light of platformisation?
   -

     How can existing institutional, and largely national, models of
   communications governance adapt to this new context? To what extent are
   new, international models of governance addressing transcultural
   communications?

          What are the best practice examples of new digital governance
modalities working in the public interest? How might these benefit public
institutions, such as                 public service media?

The preconference will consist of a keynote speech and four panels, drawing
on speakers from both inside and outside China, from developed and
developing countries. These panels will include discussions on:

   -

     Digital governance of the metaverse
   -

     Governance of digital communications market access, standards and
   structures
   -

     Governance strategies for safe, inclusive digital transcultural
   communications
   -

     Digital governance and public service media in an era of
   platformisation

Thank you!

Best wishes,
Yik Chan
