[Commlist] CFP: Journalisms: Plurality, Precarity and Possibilities

Mon Apr 08 12:01:06 GMT 2019




The 2019 JERAA Conference will be hosted by the University of Sydney from December 4 to 6. The conference theme, Journalisms: Plurality, Precarity and Possibilities, reflects the multi-faceted nature of journalism in 2019 as threats and opportunities collide. Call for Papers Journalism has always been a pluralist and precarious pursuit. Its many forms emerged from songs and royal reports, pamphlets and gazettes, consolidated with the emergence of the mass media, and have now diverged again in the age of social and participatory media, augmentation and algorithmic production. It has always been risky for journalists to monitor and question the actions of the powerful, but now diverse economic and political factors threaten journalism's future and a discourse of crisis often overshadows its evident potential to evolve. In 2019, the Journalism Education and Research Association of Australia conference invites papers and panel proposals that address the theme of 'Journalisms: plurality, precarity and possibilities'. Contributions could address any of the following topics within those themes, or related research:
Plurality
Indigenous, Asian and Pasifika journalisms; media diversity and pluralism initiatives; slow and indie magazine journalisms; literary journalism and memoir; student publications.
Precarity
Industry consolidation, job loss, forced career change and employment insecurity; future of public interest journalism after Fairfax; legal constraints; journalism safety and health initiatives.
Possibilities
Jobs and skillsets for next-gen digital journalism; automated journalism; managing journalism partnerships; work integrated learning, education and training for the future.

Paper abstracts will be 300 words max. listing title, author/s and affiliation, abstract and keywords. Panel abstracts will have a 200 word overview, with 200 words from each participant on their contribution. They should also list panel title, author/s and affiliation, abstract and keywords.
