[ecrea] Special Issue Call for Papers - Journalism Studies

> Call for articles/essays for a special issue on
> Journalism as an Institution
>
>
> Since the seminal book by Tim Cook, ?Governing 
> with the News,? a new institutional approach to 
> the study of journalism has been emerging around 
> the western world. This approach has gained 
> popularity because it builds a bridge between 
> past research and new directions of 
> inquiry.  However, though many scholars are 
> working this terrain, their work tends to be 
> scattered across journals, subdisciplines, and 
> even nations.  It is now time to bring together 
> a sample of this work to assess where the field is and where it ought to go.
>
>
> International researchers within the area of 
> journalism studies, media studies and political 
> communication studies are hereby invited to send 
> an abstract to participate in a special issue on 
> ?journalism as an institution.?  Papers ought to 
> be empirically driven but theoretically informed 
> by an institutional approach to the news.  We 
> understand journalism as an institution in a 
> broad sense, and welcome studies that make 
> comparisons across countries; that focus on a 
> specific organization; that trace the 
> development of journalism as an institution over 
> time, or that examine other aspects of new institutionalism and the news.
>
>
> Abstracts should be approximately 500 words and 
> are due by e-mail to either David Ryfe 
> ((dryfe /at/ unr.edu)) or Mark Ørsten ((oersten /at/ ruc.dk)) 
> by February 1st, 2009.  You may send inquiries 
> to either editor.  The deadline for accepted 
> papers will be six months later, August 1, 2009.
>
>
> The selected papers will be reviewed for 
> possible publication in Journalism Studies.

> Kind regards,
> David Ryfe and Mark Ørsten
