Sponsor: Massachusetts Institute of Technology

This conference is free and open to the public. It will explore the follow=
ing 
issues:

Will globalization reduce or expand the world=92s cultural diversity? 

Will new technologies empower international media makers to enter the Amer=
ican 
marketplace or leave them
more exposed than ever before to U.S. cultural exports? 

How do we reconcile the competing forces of media convergence and media 
fragmentation that are shaping the current communications infrastructure?

What patterns can we discern among convergent content and audiences across=
 
media forms and international borders?

What are the implications of media convergence not only at the corporate l=
evel, 
but also at the grassroots level where users are in control of content, 
context, and flow?
