[Commlist] VIII International Conference on Online Journalism - CFP

The organization of the VIII International Conference on Online 
Journalism (#8COBCIBER), in Oporto, Portugal, invites interested 
researchers to submit, by June 30, 2024, communication proposals to be 
presented at the conference.

Communications should be about Cyberjournalism, with special preference 
for the topic of this #8COBCIBER, "Platforms and players: embracing 
innovation, facing challenges". It is suggested that proposals may 
address, among others, the following topics:

- Social implications of the “platformization” process;
- Innovation in social media platforms;
- Relevant platforms and actors in disinformation;
- New actors in the face of cyberjournalistic authority;
- Artificial Intelligence and cyberjournalism;
- Cybermedia, attention economy and Algorithms;
- Privacy and security of cyber media and cyber journalists;
- Corporate communication in digital environments vs. Cyberjournalism;
- Media literacy and cyberjournalism;
- Consumption of online news and psychosocial effects;
- Business models and monetization in cyberjournalism;
- Cyberjournalism and diversity (social, cultural, etc.);
- Cyberjournalism and gamification;
- New cyberjournalisms;
- Cyberjournalism and audience(s);
- Cyberjournalism as a response to “news deserts”;
- Strategies to mitigate growing news avoidance

Proposals, in the form of an extended abstract, may be written in 
English, Portuguese, Spanish or French.
Each must include a description of 400 to 500 words, which includes, in 
particular, the topic and its relevance, hypothesis or argument, 
conceptual and methodological framework, expected results and up to five 
keywords.

Researchers must fill out this form to submit their proposals. The 
#8COBCIBER Scientific Committee will evaluate the proposals, and the 
result will be communicated to all authors by July 31st.

The final articles may be published in an edition of the journal Estudos 
em Comunicação / Communication Studies (Scopus, Q3), which will have a 
call for papers aligned with the Congress theme, or in a book to be 
published by Livros LabCom. In both cases, publications will take place 
in 2025, and authors must deliver complete articles by June 30, 2025.

#8COBCIBER is organized by ObCiber - Cyberjournalism Observatory,
CITCEM - Transdisciplinary Research Center for Culture, Space and Memory and
FLUP - Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Porto.
