Corporate mass media executives are supposed to maximize returns (in dividends and stock price growth) for stockholders; that is their primary fiduciary responsibility. However, like in other major U.S. industries over 25 years, their most obvious goal has been making themselves rich. Executives did this by managing publicly owned companies as if they owned them; pursuing mergers/acquisitions with bogus goals of \"synergy\" and \"convergence\"; misleading investors, journalists, and the public about true profitability; and hiding how badly managed (operationally and strategically) U.S. mass media companies are. In many ways, this is a story of collective, slow suicide.   Speaker: Professor Dane Claussen, Point Park University (United States) and Editor Journalism and Mass Communication Educator (AEJMC).

The event will take place at the IE University campus on March 24-25 and will bring together the top academic experts and practitioners from throughout the world to discuss new trends in the field.
  
  \"It\'s a pleasure to work with Annenberg and with relevant associations and thinkers from around the world for this event, the first to be held in continental Europe.\" says Samuel Martin-Barbero, Dean of IE School of Communication. \"The initiative will reinforce international cooperation between the scholars who examine communication campaigns and the practitioners who design and disseminate campaign messages, thereby facilitating a constructive debate for the future.\"
  
  The two-day event will include panels of international experts such as Shanto Iyengar (Stanford University), John Kelly (Harvard University), Adrian Monck (World Economic Forum), Monroe Price (Annenberg) or Marc Smith (ex-Microsoft).
  
  Topics include:

  • Interconnections between academic perspectives and professional practice
  • Learning from differences in the European and the US models
  • New media technologies and its effect on sociopolitical matters

  
  \"As a result of new geopolitical realities and intensified competition for global allegiances, long-held beliefs in political systems are being called into question.

Price, J.D., Full Adjunct Professor and Director of the Center for Global Communication Studies at the University of Pennsylvania\'s Annenberg School for Communication.

  Professor Juan Luis Manfredi discusses a model based on the transparency of an administration and the government based on the legislation that provides access to public records. He affirms that \"Spain is an anomaly in Europe and that we journalist have to promote a legal frame that facilitates our profession\".

  This article is the result of a US Embassy in Madrid grant that took him to the United States in order to study the legal system, the American editorial departments and the access to public records.

  IE School of Communication Professor Magdalena Wojcieszak has been awarded with a research grant by the Junta de Castilla y León.

  This experimental work focuses on media effects depending on the possibility for the particiants to select the content on their own. This study \"speaks  to the potential gap between the \"real world\" and the existing experimental studies on media effects by experimentally examining the influence of forced vs. selective exposure to political media messages. In order to achieve this goal, the study \"will contrast a typical experimental procedure, where respondents are forced to view media content, , with an experimental procedure allowing respondents to engage in selective exposure, where they can select the content to which they will be exposed\". 

  These research grants encourage research and technological development in Castilla y León and they are also aimed at contributing the stability of all the research programs and the promotion of young investigators.
