[Commlist] Call for chapters for the book The Impact of Press Offices in Contemporary Journalism

*Call**for chapters for the book “The Impact of Press Offices in 
Contemporary Journalism”,* to be published by IGI Global.

(Edited by Fabiana Battisti, Marco Bruno, Raffaele Lombardi)


The book offers a systematic and comparative analysis of the press 
office as a structural actor in contemporary journalism, recognising it 
as an active site for news production, agenda-setting and narrative 
management. The topics covered are wide-ranging: the redefinition of the 
concept of news within press office culture and media relations; 
relations between sources and journalists; pressure from platforms and 
algorithmic logic; artificial intelligence in communication workflows; 
country-specific studies and sector-specific studies (public 
institutions, cultural organisations, the third sector, international 
NGOs, businesses); professional training and entry into the field, 
including the dimensions of gender, class, disability and social capital 
in recruitment processes.

Both theoretical contributions and empirical research, case studies, 
longitudinal and comparative perspectives are welcome.
