The 11^th World Media Economics & Management Conference honored University of Florida Telecommunication Professor Sylvia Chan-Olmsted with its Journal of Media Economics Award of Honor at its conference in Rio de Janeiro in May.

The biennial international honor is considered a lifetime achievement award and recognizes significant scholarly contribution and inspiration to the field of media economics. Sylvia is the eleventh recipient of the award and only the second female to be recognized.

From Rio, Chan-Olmsted then headed to Seoul to serve as one of the visionaries for the 2014 Seoul Digital Forum.  SDF is a major international conference about innovation and inspiration in the context of the digital age.  There she talked about the development of multiplatform distribution, mobile, OTT and VOD systems like Netflix, and what the implications are for audiences and media industries.
