On 12-13 October 2023, the University of Edinburgh will host the 9th
annual conference of the International Journal of Press/Politics,
focused on academic research on the relationship between media and
political processes around the world.

The deadline for submission of abstracts is 14 June 2023. Attendees
will be notified of acceptance by 21 June 2023. Registration fees will
be due 11 August 2023 and full papers based on accepted abstracts will
be due 29 September 2023. A selection of the best papers presented at
the conference will be published in the journal after peer review.

The conference brings together scholars conducting internationally
oriented or comparative research on the intersection between news
media and politics around the world. It aims to provide a forum for
academics from a wide range of disciplines, countries, and
methodological approaches to advance knowledge in this area.

Examples of relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the
political implications of changes in media systems; the importance of
different types of media for learning about and engaging with
politics; the factors affecting the quality of political information
and public discourse; media policy and regulation; the role of
entertainment and popular culture in how people engage with current
affairs; relations between political actors and journalists; the role
of visuals and emotion in the production and processing of public
information; the role of different kinds of media during conflicts and
crises; and political communication during and beyond elections by
government, political parties, interest groups, and social movements.
The journal and the conference are particularly interested in studies
that represent substantial theoretical or methodological advances on
these issues in an international perspective, especially by adopting
comparative approaches and/or focusing on parts of the world that are
under-researched in the English-language academic literature.

Titles and abstracts for papers (maximum 300 words) are invited by 14
June 2023 via the online form available at https://bit.ly/IJPP2023.
Abstracts should clearly describe the key question, the theoretical
and methodological approach, the evidence presented, and the wider
implications of the study for understanding the relationship between
media and politics in an international perspective. Authors are
encouraged to provide as much detail as possible about the spatial and
temporal context of their study, the research design and methods
employed, the data collected, and the main results of the analyses.

The registration fee for the conference will be GBP 250, to be paid by
11 August 2023. The fee covers lunches and coffee breaks on 12 and 13
October, two conference dinners on 11 and 12 October, and farewell
drinks on 13 October. A limited number of registration fee waivers
will be available for early career scholars and scholars from
countries that appear in Tiers B and C of the classification adopted
by the International Communication Association. Applications for fee
waivers must be made via the abstract online submission form available
at https://bit.ly/IJPP2023.

All attendees must respect the Scottish Government policies to protect
themselves and the population against COVID-19. Attendees visiting
Edinburgh from abroad must commit to follow the Scottish government’s
