On 17-18 October 2024, the University of Edinburgh will host the 10th

The deadline for submission of abstracts is 14 June 2024. Attendees
will be notified of acceptance by 1 July 2024. Registration fees will
be due 30 August 2024 and full papers based on accepted abstracts will
be due 4 October 2024. A selection of the best papers presented at the

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1940161219869063 <https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1940161219869063>.

The conference brings together scholars conducting internationally
oriented or comparative research on the intersection between news
media and politics around the world. It aims to provide a forum for
academics from a wide range of disciplines, countries, and
methodological approaches to advance knowledge in this area.

Examples of relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the
political implications of changes in media systems; the importance of
different types of media for learning about and engaging with
politics; the factors affecting the quality of political information
and public discourse; media policy and regulation; the role of
entertainment and popular culture in how people engage with current
affairs; relations between political actors and journalists; how
emerging applications of Artificial Intelligence affect key political
communication processes; the role of visuals and emotion in the
production and processing of public information; the role of different
kinds of media during conflicts and crises; and political
communication during and beyond elections by government, political
parties, interest groups, civil society organizations, and social
movements.

The journal and the conference are particularly interested in studies
that represent substantial theoretical or methodological advances on
these issues in an international perspective, especially by adopting
comparative approaches and/or focusing on parts of the world that are
under-researched in the English-language academic literature.

Titles and abstracts for papers (maximum 300 words) are invited by 14
June 2024 via the online form available at https://bit.ly/IJPP2024 <https://bit.ly/IJPP2024>.
Abstracts should clearly describe the key questions, the theoretical
and methodological approach, the evidence presented, and the wider
implications of the study for understanding the relationship between
media and politics in an international perspective. Authors are
encouraged to provide as much detail as possible about the spatial and
temporal context of their study, the research design and methods
employed, the data collected, and the main results of the analyses.

The registration fee for the conference will be GBP 300, to be paid by
30 August 2024. The fee covers two conference dinners on 16 and 17
October, lunches and coffee breaks on 17 and 18 October, and farewell
drinks on 18 October. The conference will take place at the University
of Edinburgh’s John McIntyre Conference Centre.

A limited number of registration fee waivers will be available for
early career scholars and scholars from countries that appear in Tiers
B and C of the classification adopted by the International
Communication Association. Applications for fee waivers must be made
via the abstract online submission form available at
https://bit.ly/IJPP2024 <https://bit.ly/IJPP2024>.
