[ecrea] IJoC Publishes New Special Section on Discussion, Dialogue, and Discourse

Wed Aug 17 18:20:30 GMT 2016




International Journal of Communication Publishes Special Section
“Doing the Talk: Discussion, Dialogue, and Discourse in Action”
Discussion, dialogue, and discourse have long been regarded as important
concepts across a range of communication-related disciplines such as public
relations, organizational communication, interpersonal communication, and
strategic management. These concepts are becoming even more significant with
the increasing use of social media and other forms of online communication
by organizations and their publics/stakeholders/citizens.
Doing the Talk: Discussion, Dialogue, and Discourse in Action, guest-edited
by Uta Russmann, FHWien University of Applied Sciences of WKW, Austria, and
Anne B. Lane, Queensland University of Technology, Australia, is the latest
Special Section of IJoC. Articles in this Special Section tackle some of the
key questions around dialogue, discussion, and discourse: What are they, and
how do we carry them out in practice? How are these key concepts translated
to the online environment?  And what sort of data and methodological
approaches are most appropriate to study discussion, dialogue, and
discourse? Authors from a range of disciplinary backgrounds have developed
conceptual papers and carried out empirical research to answer these
questions.
This Special Section contains seven articles by international scholars—six
original papers and an editorial introduction—that aim to provoke new
thinking and perspectives on discussion, dialogue, and discourse. The
authors offer new insights to both academics and practitioners in the field
of communication.

We invite you to read these articles that published in the International
Journal of Communication on August 15, 2016.
