[Commlist] Call for papers for the journal Obra Digital: 'Sports communication, beyond sports journalism'

We kindly request your assistance in sharing the following call for 
papers for the journal Obra Digital. We are currently accepting article 
submissions for our upcoming monographic section on 'Sports 
communication, beyond sports journalism' to be published in the December 
2023 issue.


The monographic section will be edited by Dr. Gema Lobillo Mora from the 
University of Málaga.


Beyond sports journalism, sports communication is becoming increasingly 
important. The way of communicating has changed. It is no longer only 
journalists in traditional media who communicate (Rojas Torrijos, 2020), 
but there are many broadcasters who make up the media ecosystem. In 
addition to journalists (Manfredi Sánchez et al., 2015), athletes (Cano 
and Paniagua, 2017; Marín, 2010), fans (Rojas Torrijos and García 
Cepero, 2020; Lobillo and Martín, 2020), clubs (Ginesta et al, 2011; 
Lobillo and Guevara, 2018; Olabe, 2009), administrations (Koljonen, 
2013; Ginesta, 2011), etc. Furthermore, the way of communicating has 
changed and evolved drastically, thanks to new information and 
communication technologies (social networks, mobile applications, etc.). 
New sports such as eSports have burst onto the scene, which have changed 
the world of sport and with them academic studies (Zhong et al., 2022).

Sports entities are also communicating in new ways through specific 
policies, which are directly linked to marketing strategies, brand image 
or corporate social responsibility (Olabe, 2012; Lobillo et al., 2021; 
López-Martínez and Fernández-Fernández, 2015).

This monograph will compile the most current research on sports 
communication and marketing, ranging from sports journalism, 
organizational communication strategies, the use of traditional 
(Facebook, Twitter, etc) or novel (Twich, TikTok, etc) social networks 
to analyses of the main issuers of communication and the instruments 
they use to reach their audiences.
