I have been indulging in crime lately; crime on TV to be precise. I have noticed a few academic friends have been doing the same too. It must be a go-to topic during times of uncertainty and change.

Special issue of Journal of Digital Media & Policy, 12.3 (October 2021) Deadline (extended): November 20, 2020 https://www.intellectbooks.com/journal-of-digital-media-policy Special Issue Editors: Sally Broughton Micova (University of East Anglia) and Krisztina Rozgonyi (University of Vienna) The Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) is the centrepiece of media policy in the European Union.

The BBC’s reputation for impartiality and independence is one of the cornerstones of its value system, which also underpins its self-declared mission to “inform, educate, and entertain”. However, these values have constantly been redefined as several forms of censorship and self-censorship have been applied in the context of conflict with political or economic powers.

We are excited to announce details for the British Association for American Studies’s 66th Annual Convention — its first to be hosted entirely remotely. For several years BAAS has been building towards an event of this type, in order to transcend the exclusivity and waste of our traditional conference model.

Since the mid-nineties researchers have developed a monumental theory of information and communication technologies, within the conceptual framework of the network society – an ideal type transcending economic, cultural and political changes that took place in the 20th Century. Communication networks enabled by the internet are rapidly expanding along various codes and values.

Call for papers for the next annual conference of the Canadian Communication Association, which will be held from June 1-4, 2021 as part of the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences (CFHSS) 2021 Congress. This year’s theme is “ Northern Relations .” Congress 2021 is organized this year in partnership with the University of Alberta in Edmonton.

We wish to foster an international, virtual community of scholars from all disciplines engaged with the study of music and sound in audio-visual media. Our intention is to organise a regular forum for researchers and practitioner-researchers at all levels to present work in supportive and informal sessions, to take place fortnightly from January 2021.

When BritBox was announced, many wondered what impact it would make. Unless it offered something beyond the freely accessible programmes on BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub, what incentive would people have to start subscribing to another streaming platform? As someone with an interest in archive television, streaming services have offered little to appeal to my tastes.

While I have always been an avid television viewer, I have found that my content consumption behaviour has changed drastically; before I arrived at University in September, I was watching more television than ever before. This was mainly due to the reduced levels of physical contact with my friends but also due to a wealth of undiscovered programmes on streaming services. Fig.
