[ecrea] CfP "Comparative Studies on Journalism, Media and Politics"

I would like to renew my invitation for submitting a proposal for a
special issue of the international peer-reviewed journal /About
Journalism – Sur le journalisme – Sobre jornalismo/. This issue is
dedicated to:


  Comparative Studies on Journalism, Media and Politics

Call for papers published: 15 August 2015

Deadline for submitting abstracts: 31 October 2015

Decision on abstracts: 30 November 2015

Deadline for submitting full manuscripts: 29 February 2016

The diversity of comparative approaches encourages certain types of
enquiry that cut across disciplinary barriers. We thus constructed the
object of this special issue, where we will focus on comparative studies
addressing the intersections of journalism, media and politics in
various societies. What are the objects of comparison? What are the
instruments, the means and the methods for this endeavour? Between local
spaces and national societies, which is the ideal level for comparative
analysis? How do we go about comparative analysis itself? How do we make
inferences and build theoretical generalizations from a comparative
approach? What is the role and place of quantitative and qualitative
methods in this debate?

In order to address these questions in a special issue of /Sur le
journalisme – About journalism – Sobre jornalismo/, we request
manuscripts from all disciplines in the social sciences and the
humanities that investigate the links between journalism, media and
politics in a comparative way. We invite proposals that cut freely
across these themes, addressing, for instance, media and democracy,
media systems and the political practices of journalism, journalism and
political processes (i.e., electoral campaigns), among others. Generally
speaking, proposals may concentrate on one or another of the three
themes of this special issue, insofar as they contribute to a common
discussion. Within these different possibilities, all manuscripts must
engage in both theoretical and empirical analysis resort explicitly to a
comparative research method, whatever its form (/stricto sensu/
comparison of different cases, contrasting different countries,
transnational analysis, etc.). We will also consider more theoretically,
methodologically or epistemologically oriented proposals inasmuch as
they contribute to the goals of this special number.
