IJ-8 The Eight Conference on Innovation Journalism is a venue for
researchers from many disciplines and institutions to present work and
ideas relating to the interplay of journalism, communication and
innovation ecosystems.
IJ-8 is a meeting place for researchers and journalism/communication
professionals to discuss the best ways of covering innovation in the
news, or communicating innovation, the business of doing that work, and
how innovation journalism and communication interacts with each other and
with society.
The conference welcomes a varied set of participants: Working
journalists, policy-makers in innovation, academic researchers, faculty
and research students in related areas of commerce, communication and
journalism, and other professionals connected to the media
industry.
The Conference is hosted at Stanford University under the auspices of the
Stanford Center for Innovation and
Communication. The Center for Innovation and Communication
welcomes faculty and graduate student submissions on all topics related
to innovation and communication.
The Program Committee welcomes strong theoretical and empirical
contributions without regard to particular methodological approach,
professional context (including journalism, advertising, public
relations, strategy and innovation, and the standard social science
disciplines) and overall orientation of the research (theoretical,
descriptive, philosophical, pedagogical, methodological or practical).
