牛津－宾大：全球媒体法规会议 The Center for Global Communication Studies is pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for the 3rd Annenberg-Oxford Summer Institute in Global Media Policy, which will be held at St. Catherine’s College, Oxford, from June 24-July 7, 2007. The annual Institute brings together young scholars and regulators from around the world to discuss important recent trends in technology and its influence on information policy. The sessions deal with recent problems in satellite delivery of information, emerging issues in the structuring of the mobile industry and its delivery of video. Much of the time is devoted to new developments in comparative approaches to regulation, looking at Ofcom in the UK and other agencies, including in Hungary, Germany, the Middle East and China. In the past there have been sessions on freedom of information statutes, public diplomacy, media and economic and social development and the history of information transitions in the former Soviet Union. The richness of the experience comes from exposure to a variety of speakers and from the discussions among participants themselves. Last year, there were 29 participants from 15 different countries. The objective of the program is to help prepare motivate, encourage and support students and practitioners who aspire to pursue a career in communications media, may it be in academia, business or in policy-related fields. Applications are welcomed from students and practitioners working in communications, media, law, policy, regulation, and technology. The application deadline is March 30, 2007, but rolling admissions start on February 28, 2007. Please feel free to forward this email to anyone who you think might be interested.
