Call for nominations for the IJPP Best Book Award - Feb 15 deadline

The International Journal of Press/Politics Best Book Award

Nominations are invited for the annual International Journal of
Press/Politics Best Book Award, to be sent to IJPP editor Rasmus Kleis
Nielsen by email no later than February 15.

Rationale

The International Journal of Press/Politics Best Book Award honors
internationally-oriented books that advance our theoretical and
empirical understanding of the linkages between news media and politics
in a globalized world in a significant way. It is given annually by the
International Journal of Press/Politics and sponsored by Sage Publications.

The award committee will judge each nominated book on several criteria,
including the extent to which the book goes beyond analyzing a single
case country to present a broader and internationally-oriented argument,
the significance of the problems addressed, the strength of the evidence
the book relies on, conceptual innovation, the clarity of writing, and
the book’s ability to link journalism studies, political communication
research, and other relevant intellectual fields.

Eligibility

Books published within the last ten years will be considered. Monographs
as well as edited volumes of exceptional quality and coherence will be
considered for the award. (Books by current members of the award
committee are ineligible and committee members will recuse themselves
from discussion of books by members of their own department, works
published in series that they edit, etc.)

Nominations

Nominations including a rationale of no more than 350 words should be
emailed by February 15 to Rasmus Kleis Nielsen
(atrasmus.nielsen /at/ politics.ox.ac.uk)
<mailto:(rasmus.nielsen /at/ politics.ox.ac.uk)>.

The nomination must specify why the book should receive the award by
outlining the importance of the book to the study of news media and
politics and by identifying its international contribution and
relevance. Please include links to or copies of relevant reviews in
scholarly journals.

Arrangements should be made with the publishers of nominated books for
three hard copies to be sent by February 15 to the Rasmus Kleis Nielsen
at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, 13 Norham Gardens,
OX2 6PS, Oxford, United Kingdom.

Award committee

The award committee consists of Rasmus Kleis Nielsen (the editor of the
International Journal of Press/Politics), Jesper Strömbäck (chair of the
Political Communication Division of ICA), and Matt Carlson (chair of the
Journalism Studies Division of ICA).

Presentation

The award will be presented at the 2016 ICA Annual Meeting and will be
announced on the IJPP website.
