in the Digital Information Age
Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media
Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media will publish a special issue on “Chinese Electronic Media: Social Evolution and Social Change in the Digit al Information Age.” The idea has been in the works for a few years as a result of annual academic exchanges between BEA and its Chinese counterpart, the Broadcast & New Media Research Association of China (BNMR), and in recognition of the special characteristics of broadcasting and electronic media in China. We welcome submissions on all topics focusing on Chine se electronic media, broadly defined to include greater China. Submissions are open to papers outside the two associations.

Within this context, how do China’s media evolve and perform in a rapidly changing technological environment? How do people use and make sense of their media affordances and the content that they consume in their daily life, including, for example, media coverage of the trade war and the fight against COVID-19?

Appropriate topics for submission include but not limited to the following:
? Media convergence theories and practices
? New media and social media

? Media transformation and social change
? Media and political communication
? Media and science communication

Radio and Electronic Media will publish a special issue with the theme of "Electronic Media in China: Social Evolution and Change in the Digital Information Age". In recent years, this idea has gradually sprouted and formed in the process of annual academic exchanges between the American Broadcasting and Education Association (BEA) and the China Radio and Television and New Media Research Association. At the same time, the world is gradually recognizing and interested in understanding the characteristics of China’s broadcasting and electronic media. We welcome all submissions with the theme of electronic media in China. We accept all contributions except the above two associations.
Just like other countries in the world, China is experiencing great media transformation and social change in the digital information age. Innovative technologies such as media convergence, smart media and blockchain have penetrated into all aspects of China society at an unprecedented speed. How did the media in China evolve and operate in such a rapidly changing technological environment? How do people in China use the media to understand their daily life reports, such as the Sino-US trade war and the fight against COVID-19 novel coronavirus?
