[Commlist] Call for papers for “Estudios sobre el Mensaje Periodístico"

“Estudios sobre el Mensaje Periodístico”: Call for papers on “Risk and 
emergency communication: analysing strategies and discourses in the 
digital age”


Until February 28, 2023 the call for papers for the journal “Estudios 
sobre el Mensaje Periodístico” on “Risk and emergency communication: 
analysing strategies and discourses in the digital age” is open.

The issue is edited by Mª Luisa Sánchez-Calero (Universidad Complutendse 
de Madrid, Spain) and Gisela Gonçalves (Universidade da Beira 
Interior/LabCom).

Communication in Risk and Emergency situations is increasingly 
developing. According to the Global Assessment Report (GAR2022), 
published by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction 
(UNDRR) in May 2022, between 350 and 500 medium and large-scale 
disasters have occurred each year over the past two decades. Figures 
provided by prestigious databases on recent research also demonstrate 
the upward trend of this object of study. In Web of Science (WoS), with 
the search term "emergency communication", 36.4% of the articles have 
been published between 2012 and 2019. In WoS itself, if we reduce the 
search to "emergency communication" and "social media", 88.8% of the 
publications have been made between 2012 and 2019. Likewise, in other 
more prestigious international and national databases such as Scopus, 
Dialnet or the publisher SAGE, in all of them, between 85 and 95% of the 
publications on "emergency communication" and "social media" were 
produced between 2012 and 2019.

Internationally, contributions to this area of knowledge have been made 
by authors such as: Sutton, Renshaw, Vos, et al., (2019); Brandt, 
Turner-McGrievy, Friedman, et al., (2019); Liu, Kar, Zhang, et al., 
(2019); Kim, Bae, Hastak (2018); Bennet (2018); Sellnow et al.). In 
Spain, the contributions in this area by authors such as: 
Percastre-Mendizábal, Pont-Sorribes and Suau-Gomila (2019); Villodre and 
Criado (2019); Sánchez-Calero (2017; 2018); Chivite-Fernández and 
Serrano-Rodríguez (2013); Gonzalo and Farré (2011) or Castelló (2010) 
are noteworthy. In all these studies, common nuances can be observed in 
the approach and definition of the concept of risk and disaster 
communication. Among them: the loss of protagonism in the control and 
distribution of information in emergency situations of the traditional 
media in favor of social media and the new citizen journalism.

Likewise, the significant increase in new information and communication 
technologies (ICTs) and their use in new spaces for social organisation 
create new opportunities for societies, business organisations and 
communities to increase resilience to risk vulnerability.

With this new monograph, “Estudios sobre el Mensaje Periodístico” seeks 
to promote analysis, criticism and examination. As well as suggesting 
proposals and protocols on the coverage of Risk and Disasters addressed 
by traditional media, governments, and public institutions in the 
context of the digital era. We are looking for papers that examine 
different discourses in these times of increasing interconnectedness, 
but with growing disruption and misinformation. For this reason, 
contributions will be selected for this monograph that not only address 
a highly topical issue, but also contributes with their vision of risk 
and disaster communication, from a professional and/or theoretical point 
of view.
