Media Economics 2015
The Department of Economics at Stellenbosh University will host the 13th Annual Media Economics Workshop, 6-7 November. The workshop deals with all aspects of media economics and media policy, and the programme includes panel discussions on competition policy in media and the trade-offs between local and global forces in media. The workshop is an annual event, hosted in different locations each year, and this year marks the first on African soil. Prof Willem Boshoff and Prof Rachel Jafta are the local organizers, working with Prof Lisa George (Hunter and CUNY) and Prof Simon Anderson (Virginia). The target audience is academics, policymakers and those involved in the media industry.
