[ecrea] Call for Chapter and Conference Abstracts - Journalism, Audiences and Diaspora

Call for Chapter and Conference Abstracts

Journalism, Audiences and Diaspora

Proposed to Palgrave for publication in 2014

This edited book focuses on the journalism practices at the diasporic
media and the media habits of their audiences. The aim is to bridge the
hiatus in journalism literature which focuses on journalism practices at
and audiences of the mainstream media, ethnic media and alternative
media, but scantly explore journalism practices from the perspectives of
the practitioners of media of diaspora. Hence, we have little
understanding of the contributions of the diasporic media to the
diversity of journalism and to the global public sphere. But the
examination of the media of diaspora is a pertinent research enquiry
because of their proliferation in the past two decades, thanks to the
advent of new information technology, and their orientation/connective
roles. The editor would like to encourage scholars from
interdisciplinary fields to contribute chapters to this book.

The proposed edited book will have three thematic parts.

Part I: News Production Practices at the Diasporic Media
A case study of a diasporic media with empirical study of one of the
following concepts (news agenda, business model, objectivity, news
values, gatewatching, etc) will be appropriate in this section.

Part II: News Content of the Diasporic Media
A case study of a diasporic media with empirical study of one of the
following concepts (self-representation, connective/orientation roles,
diversity of content, source diversity, ethics, etc) will be appropriate
in this section.

Part III: Reception and Consumption of Diasporic Media
A case study of a diasporic media with empirical study of one of the
following concepts (access and usage, tastes and preferences, audience
evaluation, etc) will be appropriate in this section.

Please send a short abstract detailing the chapter title, theory,
method(s) and case study. Please provide a paragraph of 'bionote' and
contact details with your abstract.
Please indicate if you would like to present your paper at the MDRG's
