[Commlist] Call for journal articles on African digital media research methods

*CALL FOR DIGITAL MEDIA RESEARCH METHODS JOURNAL ARTICLES - TO BE 
PUBLISHED IN THE AFRICAN DIGITAL MEDIA REVIEW 2020*

African Digital Media Review is published annually as a special edition 
of the journal African Journalism Studies, published by Taylor & 
Francis. It aims to explore the role of new digital technologies in 
African communication contexts. The 2020 edition will be dedicated to 
digital media research methods.

Scholars from across sub-Saharan Africa are encouraged to submit, as we 
hope to represent West, East, Central and Southern Africa. We aim to 
include a mix of digital media research methods, and are looking forward 
to diverse submissions such as:

·online digital ethnographic approaches

·large scale data analysis of social media analytics,

·textual analysis of web media,

·visual analysis of social media such as Instagram,

·to small scale studies of apps and the communities that use them.

We are particularly interested in debates around the methods best suited 
to African contexts:

·What are the epistemological challenges and ethical conundrums that 
African socio-political environments present for the use of specific 
digital media research methods?

·How have methods from elsewhere been adapted to diverse contexts on the 
continent?

Abstracts of 500 words need to be submitted by the 20th of September. 
Please send them to (digimethods /at/ ru.ac.za) <mailto:(digimethods /at/ ru.ac.za)>  
Once your abstract has been selected, a completed article of 8000 words 
needs to be ready for peer review by the end of January. This edition 
will be guest-edited by Tanja Bosch, Harry Dugmore, Hayes Mabweazara and 
Alette Schoon.
