[ecrea] CFP: Form and Style in Journalism: Newspapers and the Representation of News

CALL FOR PAPERS
Form and Style in Journalism: Newspapers and the Representation of News
1880-2006
International Symposium
University of Tasmania, Australia
1415 December 2006
The form and style of newspapers have undergone a 
fundamental transformation since
the end of the 19 th century. The introduction of 
new genres, story structures and reporting
practices changed the representation of the news. 
Some of these innovations were
invented in European countries such as Great 
Britain, Germany, and France; others
were adopted from the United States. They spread 
to Australia, New Zealand and the
Pacific at various times and were adapted 
differently in various countries, depending on
the national context.
The School of English, Journalism and European 
Languages, invites journalism scholars
to an International Symposium entitled Form and 
Style in Journalism: Newspapers and
the Representation of News, 18802006 to explore the development of newspaper
journalism in Australasia and Pacific.
The symposium is a continuation of the last years workshop, organized by the
Groningen Research School for the Study of the Humanities, and the Journalism
Department of the University of Groningen (Netherlands), which focused on the
development of form and style in journalism in European newspapers.
The aim of the 2006 symposium is to address the 
issues of journalism and social change
(decolonization, urbanization, increasing 
political participation, modernization, etc); and
the representation of reality in newspapers.
Eight to ten case studies will be selected to 
explore these issues in more detail. Papers
will be considered on any country in the region 
and on any theme relevant to the subject
of the workshop, for example:
"The introduction of new genres
"Reporting practices
"Foreign and home news
"Newspaper design
This is an indicative list. Papers are welcome on 
these or any similarly related theme.
You are invited to submit a proposal (maximum 500 
words) by 1 August 2006. Please
send your proposal to:
Verica Rupar, School of English, Film and Theatre with Media Studies, Victoria
