[ecrea] Chapter proposals for lifestyle journalism book

***Call for Chapter Proposals***

We are reaching out to scholars interested in submitting chapter 
proposals for our upcoming book entitled Lifestyle Journalism: New 
Media, Experience and Design.

New websites, new applications, new publications – the lifestyle genre 
has continued to expand since Hanusch’s 2013 work examining lifestyle 
journalism appeared. Encompassing aspects of consumerism, entertainment, 
cosmopolitanism, as well as traditional journalistic practices, 
lifestyle journalists continue to work in an ever-evolving media 
environment. This book seeks to further Hanusch’s work, taking another 
look at how the lifestyle genre is developing across multiple types of 
lifestyle subgenres. This book proposes articles related to three axes 
to study the genre, looking first at evolving theories related to the 
practices of journalists and consumers alike, and emerging roles of arts 
and lifestyle journalism. A second axis explores how lifestyle 
journalism is adapting to new media, including review sites like 
TripAdvisor, smartphone applications, and other internet-era 
innovations. The third axis delves into the design aspect of lifestyle 
media (including the design of ‘experiences’), to explore how 
publications are changing their approach to traditional journalism, 
opting for new forms of storytelling or information sharing both online 
and offline. Chapter topics may cover, but are not limited to, the 
following:


•New theories of lifestyle journalism
•Journalistic practice in lifestyle media
•New media and lifestyle journalism
•Review sites and consumerism
•Bloggers and alternative media
•Independent publications and lifestyle
•New online platforms
•Innovative storytelling related to culture/lifestyle
•New tools for lifestyle journalists
•Challenges for lifestyle journalism
•New actors, new voices
•Cultural reporting: fashion, travel, food, arts, video games, cinema, etc.
•Niche audiences and special interests
•Legacy media vs. new media comparisons
