Call for Nominations: The International Journal of Press/Politics
Hazel Gaudet-Erskine Best Book Award 2024

Nominations are invited for the annual International Journal of
Press/Politics Hazel Gaudet-Erskine Best Book Award, to be received no
later than March 28, 2024.

*** Rationale
The International Journal of Press/Politics Hazel Gaudet-Erskine 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 based on the
following criteria:
- the extent to which the book contributes to internationally relevant
knowledge;
- the significance of the problems addressed;
- conceptual and theoretical innovation;
- strength of evidence;
- clarity of writing;
- ability to link journalism studies, political communication
research, and other relevant fields of intellectual and scholarly
inquiry.

*** Eligibility
Books written in English and 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 that may
entail conflicts of interest, such as books authored by members of
their own department or published in a series they edit. Books
nominated for previous editions of the award may be nominated again as
long as they meet the eligibility criteria.

*** Award committee
The award committee consists of Cristian Vaccari (Editor-in-Chief of
the International Journal of Press/Politics), Frank Esser (chair of
the Political Communication Division of ICA), and Annika Sehl (chair
of the Journalism Studies Division of ICA).

*** Nominations
Nominations should be emailed to Cristian Vaccari ((cvaccari /at/ ed.ac.uk))
by March 28, 2024. Self-nominations are accepted. Nominations should
be accompanied by a rationale of 300-500 words, authored by a
researcher, that clearly specifies why the book meets the criteria
listed above. Please include links to or copies of relevant reviews in
scholarly journals if applicable.

Arrangements should be made with the publishers of nominated books for
one hard copy or e-book (i.e., the full book in PDF form) to be sent
by March 28 to each of the three committee members at the following
addresses:
