/Media Research / Medijska istraživanja/
*CALL FOR PAPERS*
Thematic Issue (2017, Vol. 23, No. 2):
*Production in Media and Journalism*
Editor-in-Chief:
Nada Zgrabljić Rotar (University of Zagreb, Croatia)
Guest Editors:
Igor Vobič & Jernej Amon Prodnik (University of Ljubljana, Slovenia)
*Scope of the Thematic Issue:*
Open-access journal Media Research / Medijska istraživanja invites
contributions for its themed issue entitled Production in Media and
Journalism (2017, vol. 23, n. 2). The issue will be published in the
second part of 2017 and will focus on different facets of the production
process in media industries, particularly journalism production chain,
and concurring relations of production in this sphere – from more
general issues, such as structural embeddedness of production in
capitalism and its implications for social communication and/or
legitimation of the existing social relations, to more specific
questions, for example paradoxes of labour division in newsrooms and
normalization of precarity in journalistic community, occupational
ideology, and issues connected to automatisation. Even though production
is not a completely ignored topic in media and communication studies, it
often remains under-represented and under-researched in comparison to
other moments in the accumulation process of media industries.
We invite contributions based in critical approaches, chiefly in
political economy of communication, but not limited to it. As the sphere
of production encompasses a variety of relations and issues, our aim is
a thematically rich issue, which will put a deliberate emphasis on
theoretically and historically strong contributions that are not shy of
asking general questions regarding media and journalism in capitalist
society.
*The journal invites contributions assessing one or more of the
following topics:*
- Specifics of media and journalism production within general relations
of production
- The role of media and journalism production in reproduction of
capitalist social relations
- (Ir)relevance of the base and superstructure model for the research of
media in capitalism
- Changing forces of production in media and technological changes
affecting production process
- Information sources and reproduction of power through journalism
production (e.g. international press agencies, unnamed sources, routine
sources)
- Convergence between production and consumption in media and journalism
- Production of audiences, audiences’ production
- Changes in physical production of media and communication technologies
- Labour(ers) in media industries’ production chains
- Dilemmas of automatisation and algorithms in media and journalistic
production
- Precarious labour in journalism and occupational ideology
