*Call For Papers Communication Studies #9*

The next issue of ?Studies in Communication? (Estudos em Comunicação), 
will be published in December 2011 by Labcom (Online Communication Lab 
of the University of Beira Interior, Portugal). The essays may use one 
the following languages: English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish. The 
Editors of ?Studies in Communication? are seeking for original, 
previously unpublished and completed contributions on the general 
subject of Communication Sciences. We are interested particularly but 
not strictly in following topics:

   * Digital Media and public sphere;
   * Online Journalism (Including Public, Citizen, Participatory and
     Collaborative Journalism);
   * Digital Media and democratic deliberation;
   * Political Communication, Social Networks and Digital Media;
   * Electoral Communication, Social Networks and Digital Media;
   * Digital Media and regulation;
   * Rhetoric of Digital Media;
   * Digital Media and Human Rights;
   * Digital Media Literacy;
   * Memory, Identities and Digital Media;
   * Culture and Digital media;
   * Memory, Media History and Reception;
   * Public and Private in Digital Media.

The emphasis on digital media does not mean that Editors will not accept 
papers on traditional media (TV, Radio, Press). This is not a thematic 
issue. The list of topics must be understood as a sign of some of our 
present priorities.

*Editorial or Graphical Rules*

The page must be formatted in ISO A4 with margins of 3 cms with the text 
written in Times New Roman.

The titles of each section must not be numerated and must be aligned at 
left with size 14, black. The main body of the text must use the size 12 
and justified alignments.

Bilbiographical references must be presented using the following method: 
(Actor, Year) and the complete reference must be seen at the end of the 
document.

Each reference must be presented in one paragraph with the following 
structure and model: SECOND NAME (Capital Letters), Name (complete and 
not just the first letter), Title (in Italic), Place of edition, Editor, 
Year. In what concerns with web references, it must be used the title of 
the page and the moment of the last research.
