CADERNOS DE ESTUDOS MEDIÁTICOS Nº 9
CALL FOR PAPERS


RANGE OF TOPICS AND THEMES


In the current context of a widespread promotional culture, it is essential to consider the way audiences interact with advertising and journalistic discourse, while taking into account, among other elements, the practices and perceptions related with each medium, as well as the way these discourses position and construe their target audiences.

Issue 9 of this journal - Caderno de Estudos Mediáticos - expects to provide an opportunity to think about, analyze and discuss the characterization of audiences, the discourses aimed at them which promote or divulge images and values, as well as the media which convey those messages. Thus, following previous initiatives, Fernando Pessoa University is publishing in 2012, as an online open access journal, its ninth issue, with the title: 'Communication with Audiences: Spaces, Representations and Approaches'. With an embracing theme, which covers vast domains of communication studies and other sciences concerned with this theme, this issue seeks to obtain multidisciplinary contributions from different areas of Communication - journalism, advertising, marketing, digital communication, media and multimedia studies, as well as from other areas that wish to present analyses and proposals on the above themes. This issue will include different sections, covering the diverse readings on the interdisciplinary theme proposed, which means that contributions and perspectives should involve the core topic, as well as adopt a communicational approach.
