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
