The 14th meeting of the Music and Media Studygroup (MaM) under the auspices of the International Musicological Society met this past week in Paris, France. An enriching series of papers was presented by researchers from ten countries. Sincere thanks to the organisers from the Université d’Évry Paris-Saclay, who did an excellent job in hosting us. My personal thanks to all those who presented their papers as well as the two keynote speakers: Prof. James Deaville (Carleton University, Ottawa) and Prof. Dominique Nasta (ULB, Brussels). Already looking forward to the 15th annual MaM event which will take place at the Hochschule für Musik und Musiktheater in Munich, from 6 to 8 June, 2024. The conference will be jointly organized with Kieler Gesellschaft für Filmmusikforschung. An open call for papers will be published this coming fall. The overarching theme will be Music and Media in the Streaming Age.
