The conference will discuss the findings and implications of a ​5 and a half year ​CITI-led study on international media concentration. This project brought together author teams from 30 countries examining 13 media industries in the platform, distribution, and content sectors. The result is a book published by Oxford University Press <http://ukcatalogue.oup.com/product/9780199987238.do>, to be unveiled at the conference. The book is 1300 pages in length and includes 800 figures and tables. It aims to provide a serious data analysis of questions of media concentration trends, their drivers, the impact of technology, and variations across countries and industries. ​Things are already underway.
