[ecrea] Invitation to contribute to the forthcoming Routledge Companion to British Media History

Following the success of Stuart Allan's 'Routledge Companion to News and Journalism' we are delighted to invite original contributions for the forthcoming 'Routledge Companion to British Media History' which will be edited by Martin Conboy and John Steel at the University of Sheffield. In a similar vein to Stuart Allen's book, this volume seeks to address issues of current theoretical and historical debate with the broad field of British media history. We are lucky enough to have already attracted a number of leading and emerging scholars within the field but still require high quality contributions in the following areas:

Thinking about the media historically
The political economy of the media
The media effects debate
Inscriptions and depictions of 'race'
Media and sport as spectacular representation
The mediation of social conflict
The birth of news
18th century newspapers and public opinion
Eras of film
Technology's false dawns: the past of media futures

The essay should be 4,000 to 5,000 words in length including notes and bibliography and pay close attention to recent research and any international comparisons where appropriate. If you would like to contribute then we would require a brief 500 word outline by the end of July 2012 with a view to decisions being made by the end of September 2012. On acceptance of the proposed essay contracts would be issued by Routledge in October  2012 and complete essays submitted to us for editorial review in May 2013 for publication mid 2014. There will be a cash fee of £80  (payable on delivery of the final MS to Roultedge).

Submissions should be directed to the editorial assistant Dr. Angie Negrine at:(dr.a.negrine /at/ gmail.com). Angie will also deal with any queries you may have about the project.

Regards,

John
