BJR Special Issue: Journalism on BRICS

The reconfiguration of international relations has led to the formation of BRICS, the block that join Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. BRICS countries cover over 40 % of the world’s population and their growth rates higher than the international average. BRICS countries have similarities and differences. Looking at them on a comparative basis can offer more promising prospects for a critical analysis than taking them separately. Reflections on the BRICS may also help illuminate different ways of understanding, doing and thinking about journalism in contemporary societies. BRICS invites special attention to the relationship between journalism and democracy, the role of journalists in relation to national states and aspects which are not part of conventional Western scholarship. The Brazilian Journalism Research invites researchers to contribute to the Special Issue "Journalism and BRICS" intending to systematize discussions and concepts of journalism in this context. BJR is interested in articles that include diversity of theoretical and epistemological approaches, methodological and empirical Journalism research, researches conducted in the countries members of the BRICS, comparative or not.

The guest editors of this edition are Kaarle Nordenstreng (University of Tampere, Finland), Raquel Paiva (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and Fernando Oliveira Paulino (Brazilia University, Brazil), who are part of a research project “Media Systems in the Flux: the Challenge of the BRICS Countries” (2012–2016). The edition also includes the participation of Sonia Virginia Moreira (Rio de Janeiro State University, Brazil) as executive editor. Main issues to this edition are: texts that focus on the profile of journalists in these countries, the formation of a journalist, working conditions, the relationship with the government, analysis of media systems, interaction with new media and concepts such as politics, economy, society, cities – always in reference to journalism. Welcome are texts written by researchers from the BRICS countries, but also from other countries. Articles comparing two or more BRICS countries are particularly welcome. Articles must be submitted by September 30, 2015, to be selected for editing 2016.1, Volume 13, to be published in March 2016. The length of texts must be between 30 000 and 40 000 characters with spaces. As the Brazilian Journalism Research publishes two versions of each number (Portuguese/ Spanish and English), the authors of accepted papers submitted in Portuguese or Spanish must provide a translation into English. Likewise, the articles submitted and accepted in English must provide a translation into Portuguese or Spanish. Articles should be sent exclusively through the electronic system SEER / OJS, available from the journal website: http://bjr.sbpjor.org.br If you have questions, send e-mail to (bjr /at/ gmail.com).
