[Commlist] CFP – Special Issue of Journalism Studies:

cfp special issue of Journalism Studies on “Seasonalities of Journalism”

The deadline is approaching for our special issue of Journalism Studies 
on “Seasonalities of Journalism”. Full papers are due by June 15.
Much of journalism is produced, consumed, and understood through 
interconnected cycles, waves, rhythms, and rituals. This special issue 
seeks to bring together research grounded in this premise. We aim to 
encourage and develop analytical perspectives on seasonality in 
journalism through a series of culturally and geographically diverse 
empirical and theoretical investigations exploring both the production 
and consumption of journalism.

Possible issues to address are:

How are particular types of journalistic content, forms and/or tropes 
related to seasonal rhythms, such as the opening of parliament, the 
start of the football season, or specific religious events and holidays?

How is the production and consumption of journalism linked to seasonal 
patterns, such as (almost) pre-written content published at specific 
times of year? How is such predictable content received and appropriated 
by audiences?

How do seasonal disruptions feature in journalistic productions (e.g., 
the coverage of heat waves, floods, or changing patterns of tourism), 
and how are such productions interpreted?

How can a seasonal perspective be related to or enhance environmental or 
climate change journalism?

How is journalism related to the increased challenges to the four-fold, 
temperate seasonal pattern that has been imposed on indigenous cultures 
in settler countries?

How is the perspective of seasonality, both theoretically and 
empirically, linked to other concepts of fluctuations within journalism 
studies (e.g., cycles, waves, rhythms, and rituals)?

What are some of the methodological approaches and implications of 
studying seasonal patterns in journalism?

There are no Article Processing Charges for submissions; accepted papers 
will be published free of charge.
