Dear Colleagues,
We look forward to seeing you at the NYC Media Seminar next week. On Wednesday, November 1, Michael Sinkinson (Yale School of Management) will present Media Competition and News Diets. Looking ahead, on December 6, Alexandre de Corniere (Toulouse School of Economics) will present Social Media and the News Industry, which is joint work with Miklos. Past and present schedules with links to papers can be found here and here.
We have a new venue for 2017-2018! This year we meet at AMC Networks, 11 Penn Plaza on 7th Avenue between 31st and 32nd Streets. Logistics are much improved: after checking in at the security desk (with a photo id), individuals head directly to the 17th floor where a receptionist guides participants to conference room 17-A. Please RSVP to Lisa George at [log in to unmask] or to Miklos Sarvary [log in to unmask] to expedite check-in.
I have a special request -- A new academic year brings new faculty and doctoral students to the city. Please share this message widely and encourage colleagues to attend.
The goal of the seminar is to link economists in the greater New York area working on media topics by providing a regular forum to connect with media research in economics, marketing and beyond. The seminar is open to all researchers with access to New York City and draws speakers from across the US and abroad. The seminar is jointly organized by Lisa George at Hunter College and Miklos Sarvary at Columbia Business School and has been generously supported by the Columbia Media Program.
Seminars are held the first Wednesday of each month during the academic year. The sessions begin at 10am with coffee, followed by a 90-minute presentation and discussion.
To stay informed about the series, register for the listserv by sending an email to [log in to unmask] with SUBSCRIBE MEDIANYC-L in the e-mail message body (and nothing else).
Miklos and I look forward to seeing you next week!
