Call for submissions to Res Rhetorica's special volume Rhetoric in/of journalism (due by September 2017, published in December 2017)
Polish Rhetoric Society

If journalism is about persuading people to accept claims, assume attitudes, or at least to pay attention, then it is rhetorical. This issue provides a site for exploration of rhetorical dimensions of print/online/social journalism in various national contexts. With the advent of new communication technologies and news providing/sharing services, renewed attention should be devoted to the linguistic, textual, interactional, generic and persuasive aspects of news production, distribution and reception. Topics to explore might include: journalistic objectivity/neutrality as a rhetorical practice; journalists’ ethos and/or image; digital journalism as a new rhetoric?; rhetoric(s) of quality/prestige press vs. tabloid press; the rhetorical construction of newsworthiness; fake news, post-truth and anonymous sources vs. logos; moral panics, sensationalism and the rhetorical mechanisms of audience engagement; rhetorical dimensions of traditional and new journalistic genres; Twitter jou
 rnalism and persuasion; rhetorical competence and media literacy
