[Commlist] Entrepreneurial Journalism special issue - Call For Papers

For those researching Entrepreneurial Journalism:

This special edition of Brazilian Journalism Research interrogates and 
collates the links between entrepreneurialism and journalism, in 
emergent journalistic practices and socioeconomic models. The growing 
recognition of entrepreneurial values and practices in the journalism 
domain has occurred against a backdrop of interlinked changes in 
journalism and media in the economic, technological, social, ideological 
and regulatory terrains. These are most prominent not only in the 
emergence of new digital actors and new configurations of national and 
international media landscapes but also in the reframing of normative 
journalistic practices, organisational structures, modes of production, 
distribution and financial sustainability. In this vein then, 
entrepreneurial journalism delineates new relations between actors, 
publics and domains of activity.

To synthesise available findings and theorising, contributions to this 
special issue are welcomed in the following areas, but are not limited to:

What structural affordance do digital and platforms play in the link(s) 
between journalism and entrepreneurialism?

How have social, political and regulatory contexts affected the 
closeness between journalism and entrepreneurialism, for better or worse?

What are the new market approaches to journalism in these contexts and 
has it led to the emergence of sustainable models to produce, distribute 
or pay for journalism?

In what ways does entrepreneurialism contribute to innovation in 
journalistic formats or the reconfiguration of journalism roles?

How do entrepreneurial competencies play out in daily routines, 
professional practices or career management for journalists?

How has the concept of a journalist entrepreneur evolved, been redefined 
or integrated in the past decade?

How have journalists, audiences, public stakeholders or 
socioprofessional groups shaped and defined our understanding of 
entrepreneurial journalism?

How is entrepreneurialism shaped, welcomed or integrated in the 
metadiscourse of local, national or international journalists groups?

What tensions exist for journalist entrepreneurs and how are they shaped 
or negotiated?

How is entrepreneurial journalism included in journalism curricula and 
what changes are needed

Exploration of methodological challenges and opportunities to 
researching entrepreneurial journalism

What challenges and impacts on the operations and sustainability of 
entrepreneurial journalism did arise within the global sanitary and 
economic context?

What adaptations are needed by actors in this space?

Both single-country and comparative research are welcome, as well as 
both theoretical and empirical manuscripts. Quantitative, qualitative or 
mixed methods approaches can be used also action research or critical 
theory. Conceptual and theoretical advancements in understanding 
entrepreneurial journalism are welcomed. The intention is to draw 
together a theoretically and methodologically rich set of 
interdisciplinary perspectives to deepen knowledge around these 
questions. Articles must be 40,000 to 55,000 characters (including 
references and spaces) submitted by November 30 2021. The BJR accepts 
manuscripts in Portuguese, Spanish, French and English. Authors 
submitting in Portuguese, Spanish or French must provide an English
