In the (post) pandemic era, media spaces have made themselves available to individuals and communities, and to the audiences and the industry, like never before. They have allowed for the redefinition of creative industries, reimagination of narratives and blurred the boundaries between media and audiences. In these new ecoscapes, this conference will analyze, evaluate, and deliberate upon these altered mediated spaces and its repercussions on the social sensibilities of the times. The third edition of International Conference on Media and Communication (ICMAC) 2023, being organized by Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication, Symbiosis International University, seeks to place these important discussions on the mantle.
