[ecrea] 2 cfp: sources and flows of news & recent types of news images

Fri Dec 09 13:09:57 GMT 2011



Dear colleagues,
*Our new international scientific* journal, entitled /About journalism/, will be launched in 2012. /About journalism/ is a peer-reviewed open-access journal, published in electronic and print editions. The first issue will focus on qualitative research interviews with journalists. Visit our website : www.surlejournalisme.com
.
There are two calls for papers (in French, English and Portuguese) :
-*'SOURCES AND FLOWS OF NEWS**':*
The circulation of news, the identification of sources and the change in the very nature of news conduits and actors require re-assessment both in theory and practice. Research hitherto has not always addressed these issues in depth. We need to review the distinction between what were previously different sets of practices (news production by professional journalists vs. news consumption by the audience) and the respective approaches of sociology of journalism, of media discourse analysis and of the sociology of media reception and interpersonal relationships. ?Sources and flows of news? call for papers reflects this broad perspective. Submissions will focus on the following themes and/or their inter-relationships: Analysis of the present ?media-scape?; The material used by news actors (case studies); The news circulation theory. > See the complete call (in French, English and Portuguese): www.surlejournalisme.com Editors: (michael.palmer /at/ univ-paris3.fr), (franck.rebillard /at/ univ-paris3.fr), (eric.lagneau /at/ afp.com), (jeremie.nicey /at/ univ-paris3.fr) ;
Deadline for paper submission (30.000 to 50.000 signs): May 15th 2012 ;
Contributors should express an interest before 15th January 2012.
.
-*'RECENT TYPES OF NEWS IMAGES' - Photographs, computer graphics, maps:*
Digital technology has led to redefining how image is used in information. Image has always been linked with text (or a sound commentary) to illustrate and inform. However, today, beyond the issue of evolving forms, the multiple roles assigned to images and its uses that are henceforth integrated in the Internet and Web 2.0, the purpose of the publication we propose is to interrogate the modes of perceiving the world offered/dictated by the visual representations of information and news. This leads to several questions: the principles of news images (illustration or information, showing, designation, explanation, demonstration, denunciation?); the roles of the journalistic images; the impact of time and the circulation of images on their social existence. These three questions obviously lead to three possible types of interpretation: the meaning desired by the author/publisher; the meaning of the work itself and all its possibilities; the meaning produced by the reader/spectator. > See the complete call (in French, English and Portuguese): www.surlejournalisme.com
