We have an urgent need to construct via dialogue a coherent frame of 
meaning. Consumers need to get a grip on the driving forces that media 
exercise on them. Business wants to anticipate the impact of technological 
driving forces on media innovations and media producers want to anticipate 
this as quickly as possible. Above all there is an explosion of new and 
hybrid media and of new users-media relations. It is important to exchange 
meta-knowledge of experts from different fields, to draw some sketches of 
the real character of this phenomenon.
