Call for Papers

September 16th-18th 2015, the Reuters Institute for the Study of 
Journalism at the University of Oxford will host the first annual 
International Journal of Press/Politics conference, focused on academic 
research on the relation between media and political processes around 
the world.

A selection of the best papers presented at the conference will be 
published in the journal after peer review. The deadline for submission 
of abstracts is March 27th 2015. Attendees will be notified of 
acceptance by April 27.

Professor Frank Esser from the University of Zurich will deliver a 
keynote lecture “When news logic meets politics. A cross-national and 
cross-temporal investigation of key changes in public affairs coverage.”

The conference brings together scholars doing internationally-oriented 
or comparative research on the intersection between news media and 
politics around the world. It aims to provide a forum for academics from 
a wide range of different disciplines and countries to discuss the 
theoretical, methodological, and substantial challenges and 
opportunities for research in this area.

It is open to work from political science, political communication, 
journalism studies, media and communications research and many other 
fields, and is especially interested in providing advanced doctoral 
students and junior researchers an opportunity to meet fellow scholars 
in a good environment.

Examples of relevant topics include the political implications of 
current changes in the media, the relative importance of new forms of 
digital media for engaging with news and politics, studies of the role 
of entertainment and popular culture in how people follow current 
affairs, studies of relations between political actors and journalists, 
research on political communication beyond the electoral context 
(including of government, interest groups, and social movements), all 
with a particular interest in studies that focus on under-researched 
parts of the world, develop comparative approaches, or represent 
substantial theoretical or methodological advances.

Titles and abstracts for papers (250 words max) are invited by Friday 
March 27th 2015. Please send submissions to the email address 
(ijpp /at/ politics.ox.ac.uk) with the subject line “IJPP conference 
submission” and with the full title, abstract, and your name and 
professional affiliation attached in a word document.

Please contact the conference organizer, Rasmus Kleis Nielsen (RISJ 
Director of Research and IJPP Editor-in-Chief) with questions at 
(rasmus.nielsen /at/ politics.ox.ac.uk).
