WELCOME TO THE 12TH WORLD CONFERENCE ON MEDIA AND MASS COMMUNICATION
The World Conference on Media and Mass Communication 2027 brings the global media and communication community to Bangkok, Thailand, to explore what lies beyond the algorithm. As artificial intelligence reshapes how information is produced, shared, and trusted, this conference creates a vital space to rethink media futures grounded in humanity, freedom of expression, and public trust. Join academics, journalists, policymakers, and industry leaders as we exchange ideas, challenge assumptions, and shape communication systems fit for the digital age.
OUR PURPOSE
The Media Conference 2027 exists to place humanity, trust, and freedom back at the heart of media and mass communication. This year’s theme “Signals Beyond the Algorithm: Humanity, Trust & Freedom in an AI‑Driven Media World,” creates space to reflect on how artificial intelligence and digital platforms are changing how information is created, shared, and trusted around the world. By bringing together voices from academia and industry across diverse global contexts, MEDCOM 2027 promotes ethical media practices, upholds freedom of expression, and supports more inclusive and resilient communication systems—shaping global media futures beyond the algorithm.
