Best Book Award_/*

Press/Politics Best Book Award, to be sent to IJPP editor Rasmus Kleis 
Nielsen by email no later than February 15.

*
*

*Rationale*

The International Journal of Press/Politics Best Book Award honors 
internationally-oriented books that advance our theoretical and 
empirical understanding of the linkages between news media and politics 
in a globalized world in a significant way. It is given annually by the 
International Journal of Press/Politics and sponsored by Sage Publications.


The award committee will judge each nominated book on several criteria, 
including the extent to which the book goes beyond analyzing a single 
case country to present a broader and internationally-oriented argument, 
the significance of the problems addressed, the strength of the evidence 
the book relies on, conceptual innovation, the clarity of writing, and 
the book’s ability to link journalism studies, political communication 
research, and other relevant intellectual fields.

*
*

*Eligibility*

Books published within the last ten years will be considered. Monographs 
as well as edited volumes of exceptional quality and coherence will be 
considered for the award. (Books by current members of the award 
committee are ineligible and committee members will recuse themselves 
from discussion of books by members of their own department, works 
published in series that they edit, etc.)

*
*

*Nominations*

Nominations including a rationale of no more than 350 words should be 
emailed by February 15 to Rasmus Kleis Nielsen at 
(rasmus.nielsen /at/ politics.ox.ac.uk) <mailto:(rasmus.nielsen /at/ politics.ox.ac.uk)>.


The nomination must specify why the book should receive the award by 
outlining the importance of the book to the study of news media and 
politics and by identifying its international contribution and 
relevance. Please include links to or copies of relevant reviews in 
scholarly journals.


Arrangements should be made with the publishers of nominated books for 
three hard copies to be sent by February 15 to the Rasmus Kleis Nielsen 
at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, 13 Norham Gardens, 
OX2 6PS, Oxford, United Kingdom.
