The Fourth Annual Asian Conference on
Media and Mass Communication- 2013,
The International Academic Forum, in conjunction with its global partners, is pleased to announce the Fourth Annual Asian Conference on Media and Mass Communication 2013, to be held in Osaka, Japan, from 8-10 November 2013.
The MediAsia event is a remarkable cross-cultural and interdisciplinary discussion, which encourage academics and scholars to meet and exchange ideas and views in a forum encouraging lively but respectful dialogue. This international conference will bring together a number of university scholars working throughout Japan, Asia, and beyond to share ideas.
MediAsia 2013 will afford the opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new contacts, and networking across higher education. Academics working in Japan and Asia will be encouraged to forge working relationships with each other, as well as with colleagues from Europe and the US, facilitating partnerships across borders. We hope to see you (again) in Osaka in the fall.
