Journal of Children and Media. Special Issue: "Children, Media, and Conflict" Vol. 2, No. 3 (September 2008), Guest editors: Cynthia Carter and Stephanie Hemelryk Donald. Direct experiences of war and conflict are part of everyday life for millions of children around the world. In Iraq, for instance, children are often caught in the middle of striggles between military forces and insurgents. Indigenous children in Australia are disadvantaged by unresolved wars that still play out in the discursive voice of the popular press. In Northern Ireland, the "troubles" are only (just) (perhaps) over. For many other children, war and conflict are primarily experienced through news and current affairs media. This special issue seeks research papers investigating various aspects of the relationship between children, media, and conflict - for example: the news media's use of images of chidren; children and young people's active participation as media producers of alternative news content; the changing nature of the relationship between child news audiences and news and current affairs organisations; the media channels thorugh which children and young people are expressing their opinions and demanding to have them heard and taken seriously; the possible range of effects (fear reactions, learning information, political socialisation, etc.) as a result of children and young people's exposure to news about war and conflict.
Contributions to this special issue are welcomed from a wide range of theoretical and methodological approaches, regarding children and young people. We are particularly keen to receive proposals from a broad range of cultural zones and regional perspectives. In the first instance, expressions of interest accompanied by a 300-word abstract should be submitted to BOTH guest editors no later than 1 May 2007. Authors of accepted abstracts will then be invited to submit a full paper to the guest editors of no more than 8,000 words including notes and references by no later than 1 October 2007. All papers will be subject to anonymous peer review. Please email abstracts to: Cynthia Carter: cartercl@cardiff.ac.uk AND Stephanie Hemelryk Donald: Stephanie.Donald@uts.edu.au. Journal of Children and Media website address: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/17482798.asp.
April 30, 2007. Media Psychology Call for Manuscripts. A special issue of Media Psychology is scheduled to be published in December 2007, focusing on the role of emotion in media effects processes. Empirical pieces, extensions of existing theories, and development of new theoretical perspectives are sought. Emotion, rather than arousal or physiological response, should be the focus of all submissions. Specific topics might include, but are not limited to: (1) emotion(s) as explanatory mechanisms within established media effects theory; (2) how audience emotion(s) influence media message selection; (3) how audience emotion(s) impact the processing of various media messages; (4) emotional experiences as the outcomes of interactions with the media; (5) the interplay between emotion and cognition in media contexts; (6) the structure and/or content of media messages and emotional response. Manuscripts must be submitted by April 30, 2007 via the Media Psychology submission website: http://www.editorialmanager.com/mep/. In their cover letter, authors should indicate the submission is intended for special issue consideration. Inquiries may be directed to either co-editor of the special issue: Robin Nabi, UC-Santa Barbara, nabi@comm.ucsb.edu, or Werner Wirth, University of Zurich, w.wirth@ipmz.unizh.ch.
May 1, 2007 - Call for Papers: Special relaunch issue of Ecquid Novi: African Journalism Studies. The journal Ecquid Novi is entering a new phase in its history. As from this year, editorship of the journal has passed to Herman Wasserman (Newcastle University/ Stellenbosch University). The founding and former editor, Arnold de Beer, will become the publisher. A new editorial board has been appointed. The (newly redesigned) journal's revised title – Ecquid Novi: African Journalism Studies – reflects the journal's main focus on journalism within the African context. Although there is a preference for manuscripts dealing with journalism on the continent, comparative studies of journalism in the Global South, or of comparative articles on journalism in other regions that have a bearing on Africa, will also be welcomed. All theoretical and methodological approaches are invited, although there is a preference for critical approaches and qualitative methodologies.
Articles are invited for the relaunch issue, 28(1&2), with the theme 'The Local and the Global in African Journalism Studies.' Articles that address this theme from any theoretical or methodological perspective are welcomed. Send the manuscript, together with a separate cover sheet with your name, affiliation and contact details to Herman Wasserman at hwasser@sun.ac.za.
May 1, 2007. Call for Papers: Special issue of the Electronic Journal of Communication - News Framing in a New Media Age. How frames emerge in public discourses and how frames affect individuals, groups, and public opinion are the topics of a great deal of scholarship in mass communication and political communication. In general, this scholarship focuses on the role that news stories play as a conduit of frames, which are thought to be coconstructed by news personnel and news organizations, and by advocates, politicians, and other elites who have access to, or cultivate access with, news personnel and news organizations. The hypermedia, interactive, and/or networking aspects of the World Wide Web appear to offer new ways to theorize and empirically examine the framing process. This special issue of EJC invites scholarship that explores framing in the new media environment. Theoretical integration essays that pose hypotheses and directions for future research are welcomed, as are empirical articles that examine content and/or effects of frames in the new media environment. For more information, contact Paul D'Angelo, dangelo@tcnj.edu. For the complete call for papers, consult: http://www.cios.org/www/ejc/calls/newsframing.htm.
