Journalism Research & Education Section
International Association for Media and Communication Research
Durban, South Africa, July 15-19, 2012

The Journalism Research & Education Section invites submissions for its open sessions at the IAMCR that will be held from July 15-19, 2012 at the Howard College Campus of the University of KwaZulu Natal (UKZN) in Durban, South Africa.

"Journalism as a tool for conversation" is not limited to conversations between journalists and their prospective audiences, but also related to high quality conversation for democracy.

Many writings address the global prospects for journalism to serve democracy and conversation between the north and south, but less attention has been given to the diversity of the south-south conversations. However, positions are usually too optimistic or too pessimistic with no middle grounds most of the time.

Sceptics show concern about the global future of journalism. From media concentration to authoritarian media policies that make the current media landscape full of constrains facing the role of journalism as a vehicle for public expression and political accountability. However, journalism research and education cannot be boxed in these distinct categories.

Through the research papers, panel proposal and workshops moderated, the JRE section can help convene quality public conversations among its members to stimulate further quality dialogues in the public spheres between the north and south, as well as between the diverse souths.

The Journalism Research & Education Section thus invites submission within the general theme of 'South-North Conversations', by raising a main question: "What can we expect of Journalism research and education in addressing such conversations (North-South) or (South/South)?" through the lens of the five JRE themes:
First Themes: International Collaborative Research in Journalism Research: New Challenges and Emergent Perspectives
Second Theme: Innovations in Journalism
Third Theme: The Professional Journalism
Fourth Theme: Methods for Quantifying Professional Journalism
Fifth Theme: Generic Studies of Journalism

The Journalism Research & Education Section is opened for panel proposals, workshop sessions and research papers proposals.
Many times journalism research highlights the division between the (rich) global North and the (poor) global South. Less research and focus is given to the diversity within and among journalism schools and curricula of the global South.

Abstracts should range between 300 and 500 words in lengthincluding the research objectives, theoretical framework and methodology. Each proposal must include title, name(s), affiliation, institutional address and email addresses of the author(s). All abstract submissions must be made centrally via the OCS at http://iamcr-ocs.org

It is expected that for the most part, only one (1) abstract will be accepted per person in the research paper proposals in the JRE section Program. But the author could also submit a panel proposal. The JRE section encourages its members to take part in their moderation and chairing sessions so please let us know, if you are interested.

The deadlines are as follows:
The deadline for submission of abstracts is February 14, 2012. Please note that this deadline will not be extended.
The OCS system at http://iamcr-ocs.org will open on December 1, 2011, and will close on February 14, 2012.
Decisions on acceptance of abstracts will be communicated to individual applicants by their Section or Working Group Head no later than March 12, 2012.
On the same day, March 12, 2012, conference registration will open for bookings by participants.
For those whose abstracts are accepted, full conference papers are to be submitted via the IAMCR OCS by June 10, 2011.

IAMCR accepts presentations in English, French and Spanish. However, it is requested that abstracts, if at all possible, be submitted in English.

Journalism Research & Education Section
International Association for Media and Communication Research
Durban, África do Sul, 15 a 19 de julho de 2012

A Journalism Research & Education Section (JRE) convida à submissão de trabalhos para suas sessões que acontecerão na conferência da IAMCR, de 15 a 19 de Julho de 2012 no Campus de Howard, na Universidade de KwaZulu Natal (UKZN) em Durban, África do Sul.

"Jornalismo uma ferramenta para o diálogo" não se limita a abordar a relação entre jornalismo e suas audiências, mas também relaciona-se à qualidade da conversação para a democracia.

Muitas obras enfatizam a perspectiva global para o Jornalismo e sua relação com a democracia, além de outras que enfatizam os diálogos entre Norte e Sul, mas pouca atenção tem sido dada à diversidade de diálogos Sul-Sul. Em todos esses casos, as posições adotadas são geralmente muito pessimistas ou muito otimistas sobre as possibilidades de diálogo, sem meio termo na maioria das vezes.

Os céticos mostram preocupação com o futuro global do Jornalismo. A concentração dos meios de comunicação e as políticas autoritárias de controle da mídia tornam o atual panorama repleto de constrangimentos para o Jornalismo, em face de seu papel como veículo de expressão do que é público e de cobrança da responsabilidade política. Entretanto, a pesquisa e o ensino de jornalismo não podem ser fechados nessas categorias distintas.

Através dos artigos com relatos de pesquisas, propostas de painéis e workshops mediados, a JRE Section pretende ajudar a trazer qualidade ao debate público entre seus membros, estimulando maior qualidade de diálogo nas esferas públicas entre Norte e Sul, bem como entre a diversidade do Sul.

Através dos artigos com relatos de pesquisas, propostas de painéis e workshops mediados, a JRE Section pretende ajudar a trazer qualidade ao debate público entre seus membros, estimulando maior qualidade de diálogo nas esferas públicas entre Norte e Sul, bem como entre a diversidade do Sul.

Primeiro Tema: Pesquisas Colaborativas Internacionais em Jornalismo: Novos desafios e perspectivas emergentes
Segundo Tema: Inovações no Jornalismo
Terceiro Tema: A Profissão de Jornalismo
Quarto Tema: Métodos para quantificar a profissão jornalística
Quinto Tema: Estudos Genéricos sobre Jornalismo

A Journalism Research & Education Section está aberta para propostas de painéis, workshops e propostas de artigos de pesquisa. Muitas vezes as pesquisas em jornalismo enfatizam a divisão entre o (rico) norte Global e o (pobre) Sul global. Um menor número de pesquisas dedica-se a focar a diversidade dentro e entre as escolas de jornalismo e o currículo no Sul global.

Resumos devem ter entre 300 e 500 palavras, incluindo os objetivos da pesquisa, marco teórico e metodologia. Cada proposta deve incluir título, nome(s), afiliação, endereço institucional e e-mail institucional d(os/as) autor(es/as). Todas as submissões de resumos devem ser feitas centralmente através do OCS disponível em http://iamcr-ocs.org abrirá em 1o de dezembro de 2011 e fechará em 14 de fevereiro de 2012.

A aceitação dos resumos serão comunicadas aos autores pelos responsáveis pela Seção ou Working Groups até 12 de março de 2012.
Em 12 de março de 2012 o registro na Conferência será aberto para os participantes.

Os que tiverem seus resumos aceitos devem submeter os artigos completos por meio da OCS da IAMCR até 10 de junho de 2012.

IAMCR aceita apresentações em inglês, francês e espanhol. Entretanto solicita-se, se possível, que os resumos sejam submetidos em inglês.

Journal of Applied Journalism & Media Studies
The Journal of Applied Journalism & Media Studies is an independently published peer-reviewed bi-annually (or quarterly) journal.

Its main purpose is to test and apply media and communication theories to day-to-day affairs of media outlets to help executives, editors and journalists solve the issues they confront.
The journal focuses on practical issues media outlets confront today. Its main interest is in research and studies that help media actors – journalists, proprietors and publishers – improve their output. The editors are interested in topics covering problems media outlets face in our digitized world. contributions from both academics and practitioners are welcome. The editors expect academics to illustrate in their contributions how media and communication theories and paradigms are to be applied to the real world of media firms. The editors expect practitioners – journalists, executives, publishers and proprietors – to write short or long essays on their experiences and the real situations where their activities take place.

JRE 2011 Workshop & Round Table Discussion Format

2011-06-14T07:41:00.001-07:00

Structured Presentation and Discussion of the Workshop Format-JRE 2011i
In order to enable maximum interaction and constructive feedback the presentation and discussion of papers will be structured as follows:
First Part: Presentation (5-7 minutes)
The author gives a short presentation, focusing on the "best" part of the paper, or the most challenging one. We limit the presentation to a strictly timed 7 minutes, so please don't give lengthy introductions or summaries. If you concentrate on the essential messages, you will be amazed how much information you can fit into 7 minutes.
In the presentation, the author should name the issues he/she wants to be discussed in the following. They can range from the paper's organization and presentational qualities to the actual ideas behind the paper, depending on the maturity of the paper or how the authors intend to proceed with it after the workshop.
After the presentation, the author becomes a "fly on the wall". This means that he/she listens to the ongoing conversations and takes notes.
Second Part: Moderators encourage discussion between the different participants (30 minutes)
1. Summarizes the main points in the papers and points out the main messages from the authors’ perspectives.
2. Positive feedback. All participants exchange their views on the main topic that connects these papers or ideas, with respect to topic, presentation, practical relevance, impact on research, etc.
3. Questions and suggestions for improvement. The moderator will ask questions about the paper and make suggestions on how to proceed with the work in general. It is possible to make critical statements, but always with the goal of improvement in mind. Again, all aspects can be taken into account.
Third Part: Final Discussion with author (5 minutes)
The last round of discussion consists again of positive remarks. It should encourage the authors to build further on the good parts of his/her work.
Author(s) have the opportunity to respond to questions for clarification, answer previous questions, and initiate further discussions. This allows authors to gain valuable feedback for their work and is encouraged to further elaborate on its positive side.
Read papers in advance!
In order to give yourself and your fellow participants a chance to make the most of these workshops, it is extremely important to read most papers in advance carefully scheduled in the same session as yours. -Please make notes about what things you like about each paper, and what can be improved in your opinion. The discussions will heavily benefit from doing so.
i All the Round Table and workshop formats have been scheduled either before the two hours break for lunch or the end of the day to make sure that any extra needed time can be granted to the session to make sure that the objectives of the workshops can be fulfilled.

Informal Meeting of the Worlds of Journalism Study

2011-05-22T00:24:00.000-07:00

Thomas Hanitzsch plans to organize an informal meeting to members of the Worlds of Journalism Study attending IAMCR in Istanbul. The lcoation and time will be later confirmed in one of the Journalism Research and education Section rooms (D.114 or D.115).
Thomas.Hanitzsch@ifkw.lmu.de

Subject: Peace journalism informal meeting

2011-05-22T00:16:00.000-07:00

At the IAMCR conference in Istanbul in July, there will be two
panel/discussions on Peace Journalism as an innovative and
constructive approach to conflict reporting. The first is in the
Journalism Research & Education section program, Friday, July 15, 9 -
10.30 a.m. The second is in the International Communication program,
Saturday July 16, 4.30 - 6 p.m.

The chairs of those two respective panels (Robert Hackett, Simon
Fraser University; and Jake Lynch, University of Sydney) would like
to invite interested IAMCR participants to an informal meeting, to
discuss ideas for potential collaborative research, based on the
analytical tools and research agenda of Peace Journalism. At the
very least, we hope to expand the international network of
communication scholars, educators, and practitioners interested in
exploring and potentially pursuing this relatively new paradigm.

Subject to confirmation, the meeting is tentatively scheduled for
Saturday July 16, noon, in room D114.

An introduction to Peace Journalism, together with links to key scholarly and
Other documents on the subject, can be found on the wikipedia page at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_Journalism

- or in the recent book by Jake Lynch and Johan
Galtung, Reporting Conflict (University of Queensland Press, 2010).

Forward by JRE Section Chair and Journal Editor
Ibrahim Saleh

The JRE On-Line Journal attempts to explore the means and the ways of using action journalism research to help journalists, journalism students and journalism educators or concerned citizens design the successful integration of "new paradigms" of educational ideas (online or other), materials and content with traditional and/or innovation orientation the ideas of change through an integrated process.

It is often challenging to average people to take on ideas that come from research, nonetheless the three steps in action research of discovery because action and reflection will seem familiar as indeed they are. What may be new will the unique blend of how they interact in the process to make seemingly difficult things become very simple? This allows us to move ahead and make changes in your journalism educational design that may not have previously been considered.

This new edition of JRE On-Line Journal aims to address the main theme of IAMCR 2010 conference: “communication and citizenship: Rethinking Crisis and Change.” The journal attempts to find ways of making this connection between journalism and citizenship to enhance their levels of engagement, & satisfy a global news-hungry appetite as a sound investment in better policy-making and a core element of good governance. In that context, all submitted papers were reviewed were of high quality.

The rejection rate was very high because the journal goal is to promote conduct and dissemination of research into all facets of journalism research and journalism education. As a result, only six papers were accepted and cover both different aspects of the journalism research and education on one hand, and variant geographical areas ranging from Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, Israel, Portugal, United Kingdom, and United States of America. Some of these papers also mark international collaborative research from scholars and JRE members from different countries and different journalism schools.

Regardless the location, this historical moment witnesses sweeping changes in the relation between journalism research and education field with the societies it serves, and the audiences for news and public affairs it seeks to address. Besides, there are more changes to come in technology that have blurred any traditional lines between professionals and citizens, partisan and objective bystanders, particularly in the emerging public zones of new media and e-learning, as well as the related innovations.

This volume of the journal examines these changes and the new concepts needed to understand them in the diverse context of journalism research and education in today’s setting and the years ahead. With the accepted research of the JRE members and their contributions, this collection identifies key issues in the field and paves the way for further research on the role of journalism in today's world.

The first paper is entitled: “Artificial Intelligence. The Future of Journalism: And Digital Identities,” by Noam Lemelshtrich Latar from Sammy Ofer School of Communications in Israel and David Nordfors from Stanford Center for Innovation and Communication, Stanford University in the USA.
In this paper Naom and David talk about the interaction between journalism, the Internet and social communities is familiar and intensely discussed, helping us understand how journalism can raise our collective intelligence. They discuss how artificial intelligence (AI) democratic society and suggest questions to be explored. Algorithms on the journalism profession and journalism's role in a issue a call for stakeholders to jointly explore the potential effects of AI-digital identities in journalism, and suggest examples of such principles.
The two scholars discuss how artificial intelligence (AI) will add to that picture and thus influence the future of journalism. Along the way, they describe 'Digital Identities' and their future interaction with journalism. Besides, they attempt to summarize state-of-the-art (AI) methods that could be usable to establish the 'DNA' of journalistic content, how matching that content with digital identities enables behavioural targeting for consumer engagement. They also attempt to review the driving forces of such procedures and show an example of a journalistic behavioural-targeting engine.

In the second paper by Dimas Antônio Künsch, Faculdade Cásper Líbero, Brazil that is written in Portuguese and is entitled: “JORNALISMO E CIDADANIA: A VIOLÊNCIA COTIDIANA DOS DISCURSOS NÃO-COMPREENSIVOS (Journalism and Citizenship: the daily violence of the incomprehensive discourses,” a rather different aspect is explored. Dimas aims to investigate "humanity's true spiritual mission" (Morin) is analyzed, for its relation with Communication in general and with Journalism in particular.
Under this point of view, the article studies at first the journalistic covering of the earthquake in Haiti (January 2010) by the main Brazilian weekly magazine, Veja. Secondly, the article brings the results of a research that analyzed a more ample and older covering of the war against Iraq (March-April 2003) by the three biggest weekly magazines in Brazil, Veja, IstoÉ and Época. One report in particular, unique in the ample field of texts about the war, is pointed as the symbol of the comprehension sign, going against the warmongering thought.
Methodology-wise, the analysis of the said coverings is built from the attentive look and the examination of the ways journalism reveals itself and allows itself to be known in the production of the daily information: the sources and subjects chosen, the characters, the game of information and opinion, the different genres, titles and headlines, visual appeals and pictures, the editing of the text, and the highlighted ideas. Among the authors quoted are Dominique Wolton and Norval Baitello Junior (non-communication), Edgar Morin (complex thought) and Michel Maffesoli (comprehensive sociology).

Moving to a different angle of journalism, Billy K Sarwono from the Department of Communication Studies, Faculty of Political and Social Sciences in the Universitas Indonesia offers an important study on the coverage of the 13th and 15th UNFCCC in Two Indonesian Daily Newspapers. The research is entitled: “Local Media Construction in Coverage of News on Global Climate.”
The research main thesis is based on the simple idea that there is no single country in the world that could prevent from the impacts of global warming, and one of the measures taken at the global level is to conduct UNFCCC.
It is thus both timely and crucial is to consider how local media present information on UNFCCC while still taking into account the local interests. Data collection for this study was done through a framing analysis on the coverage of the 13th and 15th UNFCCC, supported by in-depth interviews to learn about the underlining construction. The analysis shows that news construction on UNFCCC tends to reflect the interests of the elite community group and sacrifice the interests of those without power.

In the fourth paper, Carla Rodrigues Cardoso from the Licenciatura em Comunicação e Jornalismo, Escola de Comunicação, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação in Lisboa, Portugal deals with the link of political journalism and citizenship. Carla presents a paper entitled: “ Obama on the Cover.”
The paper kicks off with the selection of the first cover of Time in 2009 of Barack Obama as "Person of the Year”. This choice is considered by the author recognized the path Obama had initiated in 2008 until his election as the first black president in the U.S. History. The inauguration of Barack Obama occurred on 20 January 2009, and on that date he began his first year in office with the backdrop of a world plunged into a deep economic crisis.
The objective of this paper is to understand how Barack Obama was portrayed on the covers of newsmagazines during the year 2009. This particular type of press, closer to the newspapers than the universe of magazines is characterized by a rational approach to the events, similar to weekly quality newspapers, their main competitors. Hence, the research explores the nature of the narratives written by newsmagazines covers around the figure of Barack Obama? And questioned the differences that might have existed when considering different titles? This research involves six different newsmagazines. Four are international editions: Time, Newsweek (U.S.A.), L’ Express and Le Nouvel Observateur (France); the other two are national editions: Visão and Sábado (Portuguese).
This case study aims to understand how newsmagazines structure their dispositif cover and what kind of narratives this hybrid construction that lies between journalism and advertising is capable of supporting.

The fifth paper is by Lawrie Zion La Trobe University, Australia and is entitled: “Upstart: An innovation to facilitate student publishing.” Lawrie begins the research with a hypothesis, if you’re graduating from a journalism degree in Australia and you don’t have a portfolio of publications, your chances of landing a media job are virtually zero. Of course, even graduating students who have had some media experience are heading into an increasingly competitive environment.
The imperative for journalism students to graduate with a portfolio of published work has never been greater. But how can journalism degree programs best facilitate this?
In an attempt to address this challenge in the field of journalism, the paper reviews the work introduced in June 2009 by the team at Melbourne’s La Trobe University that launched upstart (http://www.upstart.net.au), a web-based publishing platform for emerging journalists, writers and filmmakers. The site was designed to provide a showcase for student work and a playground for experiments in digital journalism, as well as to a platform for teaching and research.

In the sixth paper entitled: “Electronic approach to teaching journalism: A pedagogical perspective,” by Manisha Pandey from UK with a main thesis that innovations are built on existing perceptions, ideas and structures, at least until the new ideas and thoughts are fully manifested.
The research assumes that innovations discard the shackles of the old models and structures and stand on its own merits and strengths. The development of e-learning and new internet technologies are used to support this phenomenon and thus reach out to the mass learners with learning when they want, what they want, where they want and how they want, making it a learner centric, self paced and individualized instruction.
Students are increasingly developing a mindset towards education that skips the boundaries of where lessons can take place, how learning is undertaken and how it is disseminated. Location will become less and less important; education will increasingly become seamless. Such ease of access and choice is far from most adults' memories of school. "Class spaces" of the future should enable journalism students anywhere to acquire information directly from experts and like-minded individuals.
The paper also mentions the ‘fractional learning’, where a student can sort an individualized, balanced view from a multitude of views that is inevitable in Journalism and Communication. The paper suggests that relative technologies foster a highly cooperative approach to learning, which enable students to share knowledge wherever they are. The paper concludes by stating that technology enables critical discussion between pupils in class spaces in different cities, countries and continents.

At the end, changes in journalism practice and education always present problems. If you change too early the new idea may prove to be a bust and there you are, having invested in an idea that quickly deteriorated. Universities with online platforms are the fastest growing anywhere in the world, and new media and e-learning are quickly gaining in importance, especially for younger generations and in developing societies.

Ibrahim Saleh, Chair of JRE Section and Editor of JRE On-Line Journal

A Call for paper: Special Edition of Mass Communication and Society

2010-09-15T01:31:00.000-07:00

THE COMMUNITY STRUCTURE MODEL: INNOVATIONS IN EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF SOCIETY ON MEDIA
Guest Editor John C. Pollock
The community structure research model is valuable because it explores media and journalists from an unusual perspective. Instead of the more standard paradigm, examining the impact of media on society, this approach explores the impact of society on media. In modern communication theory, Robert Park at the University of Chicago in the early twentieth century, concerned about integrating waves of new immigrants into US society, admonished the incipient communication field to look not only at the impact of media on public opinion, but also at the impact of public opinion on media.
Deadline for submissions: Manuscripts should be submitted by January 10, 2011, via the Mass Communication and Society online system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/mcas following the standard journal submission procedures. Authors should note in their cover letters that the submission is for the Community Structure Model symposium. Final publication will be in December 2011.
In addition, please send one hard copy of each submission to: Guest Editor John C. Pollock, Professor and Chair, Communication Studies Dept., The College of New Jersey, Ewing, NJ 08628; pollock@tcnj.edu; 609-771-2338

MINUTES OF JOURNALISM BUSINESS MEETING
Wednesday, July 21, 2010 Braga, Portugal
Due to the large number of submissions to the JRE Section, the Section
Meeting was scheduled during the 16:00-16:30 break on Wednesday, July 21, instead of taking a presentation session time slot.

REPORT FROM JRE CHAIR IBRAHIM SALEH

JRE Chair Ibrahim Saleh updated the members about the latest developments in the JRE Division.
JRE site: http://isaleh.uct.ac.za
JRE Blog: http://jre09.blogspot.com

2010 Braga Conferences

• JRE is one of the largest Divisions in IAMCR

•34 countries (Austria, Australia, Botswana, Brazil, Bulgaria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Indonesia, Israel, Kenya, Korea, Mexico, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, USA).

• More than 180 people participated in the JRE program this year, including
presenters, chairs and discussants.

• 94 papers presented and 6 panels scheduled

• This year we had 19 JRE sessions (17 sessions 1:30 minutes and 2 sessions 60 minutes)

• The rejection rate was almost 40%

Every abstract for the 2010 JRE Division had three reviewers. A fourth reviewer was brought in if there was a conflict between the three reviewers. Interest in JRE and IAMCR was very strong this year and we had a 40% rejection rate. The final program took into consideration a balance in gender and geographical representation. JRE members come from every corner of the world.

The Chair nominated Claudio Lago from Universidade Anhembi Morumbi, Sao Palo, Brazil, for this position. Claudia was elected by acclamation at the meeting.

JRE Journal- http://isaleh.uct.ac.za

JRE will continue the successful publishing of its online journal. Every paper that was presented at JRE may submit their paper for consideration to be published in the journal. Journal submissions undergo a rigorous blind peer-reviewed process. JRE members will receive e-mail in September with the guidelines for submitting their work to the JRE journal.

The JRE journal relies on the participation of its editorial board. If you would like to be part of the editorial review board, please send an e-mail to Section Head Ibrahim Saleh at jre09is@gmail.com. The JRE journal publishes work in the four languages of IAMCR: English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. We particularly need language coordinators for the editorial board. The language coordinators manage the review of the submissions to the journal, but do not serve as reviewers themselves. Special thanks are due to Susan Jacobson from Temple University in the US for her continuous efforts and collaboration.

If you would like to nominate yourself as a language coordinator, please contact Section Head Ibrahim Saleh at jre09is@gmail.com.

Every year we also try to summarize JRE work produced in languages that are not among the official four languages of IAMCR.

In very exciting news, we are exploring the possibility of converting our journal to a hard-copy publication. There is much interest in this possibility among top publishers. The Section Head will share more information about this development as it becomes available.

Member Participation

The Chair continued to encourage member participation in the running of the organization. Members are welcome to suggest themes and workshops for next year’s conference in Istanbul. For example, Claudia Lago suggested a research project on mapping journalism education.

Please send an e-mail to jre09is@gmail.com if you would like to suggest a theme or a workshop for next year’s conference.

JRE Istanbul 2011

One of the goals for next year is to try to have more panels, with fewer people per panel. The chair would like to encourage proposals for presentation alternatives to panels, such as discussion roundtables, workshops and forums. Please send your suggestions to jre09is@gmail.com.

World Journalism Education Congress and JRE-IAMCR in 2011

The International Council has agreed to have a joined meeting with the World Journalism Education Congress to IAMCR next year. The World Journalism Education Congress will be guests of the JRE Section, and we will co-organize some sessions with them. The World Journalism Education Congress has great representation from countries that are not as well represented at IAMCR, so we should all be very excited to be working with them.

The business meeting was adjourned at 4:30p.m. (16:30)

European Journalists, an endangered species?

IHECS replies by setting up a new Executive master in European journalism – 1 year.
The 9th February 2010, the International Press Association wrote an article titled “Brussels deserves its watchdogs”. The article refers to the dangerously decreasing number of journalists based in Brussels. In Brussels, there are now less than 900 journalists compared to 38 000 civil servants working at the European Commission, around 15 000 lobbyists and 751 Member of the European Parliament. Democracy is therefore at risk! This comes as a surprise when a growing percentage of our national laws originate in European legislation. Sadly, this slow disappearance of Brussels-based correspondents is not compensated enough by national coverage of the European Union.
There are many reasons; the current economic situation has deeply weakened the media sector; covering EU affairs is a complex task; manoeuvres from the Commission to control the whole information flow etc. However, Brussels more than ever deserves its watchdogs! Despite what is widely claimed, citizens are interested in knowing more about the impact EU legislation has on their lives. Suffice to mention the public reaction to the “rosé” or the GMO potatoes! This translation from complex technical jargon into concrete and clear terms for citizens is the greatest challenge of EU reporting.
In reaction to this situation, IHECS, an official Brussels-based high school, has decided to open a daytime executive master in European Journalism from September onwards. The course is structured around project learning and multiple partnerships with European bodies.
Lessons will run until April 2011. In April, May and June students will have to complete their end-of-course assignments. The group will be divided into smaller groups of three students. They will have to produce a written investigative piece with photos/illustrations.
Highlights of the master:

- Workshops are given by recognised professional journalists from across Europe who combine first-class teaching with practical experience in the field.

- Small group of students (20)

- In the heart of Europe, close to EU institutions

- Contacts with stakeholders

- Numerous media projects

- In- the-field investigations

- Constant contact with professionals

The UK-based site journalism.co.uk & upstart's 100 articles project

2010-05-12T01:47:00.000-07:00

Online Journalism News
Crowdsourcing to help university magazine produce list of 100 must-read articles
SharePosted: 11/05/10 By: Laura Oliver

A magazine for emerging journalists produced by staff and students at Australian University La Trobe is compiling a guide to 100 articles every journalist should read.

Upstart magazine is publishing student's commentaries on articles they have selected as part of a project with La Trobe's new Global Communications Masters degree. The project team has selected 50 articles, which will be drip fed through to the website, but are asking for suggestions from readers and journalists to create a collaborative list.

The 100 articles project isn't intended to be a definitive guide, but a showcase of the varied influences and debates affecting journalism and journalists, both past and present, Lawrie Zion, senior lecture and editor-in-chief of Upstart, told Journalism.co.uk. The new Masters is an international course, with this year's intake including students from more than seven countries, and the list will reflect this global outlook, he added.

"It's not meant to be complete, but a way of stimulating discussion about journalism from everywhere," he said. The discussion can be followed and suggestions made on Twitter using the #100articles hashtag.

The list so far includes 'And then they came for me...' by murdered Sri Lankan journalist Lasantha Wickrematunge and 'Censorship' by Karl Marx, as well as articles on blogging and journalism, and the investigative journalism venture Politico.

Forthcoming pieces to be put on the list include a feature on nature journalism from Time magazine and a piece on the impact of search engine optimisation from the Telegraph. Articles from as far back as the first declaration of a journalism school in the US to those published in recent weeks will run side-by-side to encourage discussion of new issues for journalists alongside debate around the values of journalism.

Not all the submissions will be text-based - clips of Jon Stewart will soon feature - reflecting a wider effort by the journalism school to teach students to work across multiple platforms. The commentaries provided by students show how a piece of journalism can engage and stimulate a reader on a personal level, said Zion.

"I'm less interested in creating a canon of journalism and more interested in encouraging a conversation. We want to be part of the fight to keep journalism as part of the fourth estate, but we don't want people who write about fashion or blog just about coffee to feel out of place reading Upstart. All kinds of writing and the broader conversation of journalism have a place here," said Zion.

"I don't want our students to fall for the line that journalism is one kind of platform and one kind of topic and content."

Re-visiting Latin American Cultural and Media Studies

2010-04-28T23:47:00.003-07:00

CALL FOR PAPERS

Re-visiting Latin American Cultural and Media Studies

Westminster Papers in Communication and Culture (WPCC), Volume 7, Number
3, 2010

Cultural and Media Studies are undergoing diverse changes in regional
contexts and remain highly contested fields of intellectual debate and
analysis. Latin American media research, best exemplified by the so-called
Latin American Communication Tradition, shows an increasing convergence
with Cultural Studies. However, Latin American Cultural and Media Studies
have not taken their current directions as the result of an
epistemological break from British, European and North American Cultural
Schools, but rather as a result of a de-centralized and de-westernized
analysis of sociocultural and political processes in the region, which
have created popular and alternative perspectives in communication and
cultural research.

Such perspectives span from Martin-Barbero's From Media to Mediations, to
García-Canclini's Hybrid Cultures, Castells' Network Society and Freire's
Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Re-visiting the cultural and communication
standpoints developed in Latin America will help to address both on-going
questions on globalization, and cultural hybridization, from within the
local and regional cultures. This issue will reflect on the evolution of
these perspectives; it aims to explore current research trends in the
region, and points of interaction and dialogue with, as well as resistance
to, the West. Can contemporary Latin American Cultural and Media Studies
contribute new theories and epistemologies to the discipline? Have Western
schools observed new trends in the region? Is there a dialogue or
resistance between the Western and Latin American perspectives? Is the
region part of the Global South?

This new issue of Westminster Papers in Communication and Culture will be
dedicated to the analysis of current debates in Latin American Media and
Cultural Studies in relation to British, European and North American
Cultural Studies. We welcome essays from a variety of academic disciplines
and traditions, such as media studies, cultural studies, journalism
research, alternative media, etc., that deal with theoretical and/or
empirical aspects of Latin American Cultural and Media Studies.

A 300 word abstract, full contact information for the corresponding
author, and a biographical note (up to 75 words) on each of the authors
should be submitted by no later than 11 June 2010. Authors of accepted
abstracts will be notified in June 2010 and will then be invited to submit
a full paper by 17 September 2010.

Complete manuscripts should be prepared in English in MS Word and adhere
to the Manuscript Submission Guidelines
(http://www.wmin.ac.uk/mad/page-1201); they should be 6000 words (minimum)
to 8000 words (maximum), including notes and references. Papers should be
accompanied by an abstract of 100-150 words and up to six keywords. The
manuscript must contain a separate title page that should include: the
title of the manuscript; the name(s) and affiliation(s) of the author(s);
full contact details of the author(s); the author's brief biographical
statement. An invitation to submit a full paper does not constitute a
commitment for publication; all papers will be subject to anonymous peer
review following submission.

Please send your abstract as an e-mail attachment to the issue editor
Yennue Zarate (y.zarate_valderrama@my.westminster.ac.uk)

Deadline for abstracts: 11 June 2010
Deadline for complete manuscripts: 17 September 2010

10 days-New edition of JRE on-line journal

2010-01-22T09:39:00.001-08:00

The JRE on-line Journal is not just a collection of quality papers, but rather an essential component of improving scholarly work in the journalism studies. The JRE section through its members and reviewers seeks to improve the quality of the published papers in terms of the language used and the overcoming of any possible scientific errors. As part of this keen interest, the JRE on-line Journal copes with the new developments in the academic reviewing practices, and accordingly the section has adopted since its re-launch and transformation from professional education into journalism research and education in 2009 a double-blind review process, and has introduced attempts for open and post-publication review.
The journal gives attention to the cross-cutting themes of the field of journalism with all its alliterating ‘consumerism, commercialization and challenges from the side of education, and that of research. It is thus trying to find ways to improve the field of journalism, by highlighting the expected skills and providing a new niche of public spheres that can aggregate views about journalism standards and values that could enlighten citizenry that is reflective of social mixes within individual societies. Without doubt, journalism progress and political reform goes hand in hand to engage journalism educators, researchers and professionals with the appropriate setting and context to foster a better performance of the industry.
The JRE on-line Journal attempts to provide its members who submitted their research papers presented in IAMCR 2009 in Mexico City, Mexico with an objective pro-active feedback with the aim of further enhancing their learning and achievement.
This year, the JRE section received a large number of good quality research papers that were subject to at least two reviewers, but when there was a conflicting opinion a third reviewer was requested to rev-evaluate, and in one case two extra reviewers requested to go over the paper again.

Final Reminder IAMCR 2010

Call for Papers “Best papers of comparative journalism research”

2009-12-21T11:03:00.000-08:00

two sessions at the International Conference “Comparing Journalism: Theory, Methodology, Findings” Eichstنtt (Bavaria), Germany, July, 9--‐11, 2010 In an interconnected world, where communication networks build links between individuals, groups, organizations, and societies on a global scale, journalism has to redefine itself in order to remain relevant for its audiences.
It has to react to a phenomenon that has not been fully understood yet: ‘lobalization’ Accordingly, recent journalism research has developed an increased interest in the international and transnational side of journalism,
as well as cultural aspects transgressing the limiting boundaries of the nation state.

Extended abstracts of max. 6000 characters should be submitted to Thorsten Quandt
thorsten.quandt@uni--‐hohenheim
until 01/31/2010.

Season's Greetings & More

2009-12-17T09:24:00.000-08:00

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Hope all is well. I just want to wish you a wonderful year that is full of joy, health and serenity that we miss in this troubled world. I take this opportunity to send you a quote from my favorite Arab philosopher:
"love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit."
Khahlil Gibran, An Arab journalist, painter, writer, and philosopher
Warm greetings and always looking forward to our collaboration.
Ibrahim

P.S. "Sons: means in Classic Arabic children (men and women), and "Religion" means ethics not related to just heavenly religions and ideas, but rather " my religion" means my path and ideology

Feedback Report JRE09

2009-12-12T03:31:00.000-08:00

The Journalism Research & Education feedback report reveals a range of ways in which the section is responding to the world challenges, and engaging the section members. In this context, the JRE section aims to play a vital role as an engine or driver of change; as a means of meeting present and future journalism research and education needs; and as a promoter of, or contributor to the journalism growth.
There is considerable emphasis on the development of the section mechanism, and performance within the utmost parameters of transparency, and democracy in the best civilized way.
A starting point is to recognize that JRE is a necessary and increasingly vital component in any nation's development, while taking into account the far reaching and profound changes in the journalism practice, research and education, as well as the corresponding impact and changes it has brought about all over the world.
Another cornerstone aspect is the advocacy of the JRE section to share the experience, insights, and lessons from different regions of the world, and conversely to learn and benefit from their experience; and to participate actively in the forging of a renewed global vision for journalism research and education that can adequately address the fast changing future.
The main objective of the current restructuring of the Journalism Research & Education Section is to help improve the governance, and performance of the section so as to further level efficiency and quality enhancement introduced by the JRE section chair; and improve the quality and relevance of content, structure and functionality of the section.
This feedback report contains a detailed summary of the information the section members and others provided during and after the Mexico (09) conference, or through the JRE Survey that was sent to all new and old members.
The report is divided into three sections: the first one includes an executive summary of the work progress of the JRE Section, while the second provides an assessment of the JRE section performance since its restructuring plan was introduced in Stockholm (08). The first part reflects some of the suggested recommendations for a better performance.
In the first section, there is a sincere attempt to reflect clearly and accurately the different activities undertaken in the JRE Section between Stockholm (08) and Mexico City (09).
Before the Mexico 09 Conference:
1. JRE Journal after Stockholm through a blind review process
2. JRE Website-to provide main information, time lines, logistics, themes etc.(http://www.jre-iamcr.org)
3. JRE Blog-to facilitate communication, engagement , & continuous updates.
4.JRE Restructuring through its five themes as proposed in Stockholm business meeting of the section.(http://jre09.blogspot.com)
5.Inviting a steering committee for the selection of abstracts for Mexico.
6.Accepted the challenge to help the Media Education Section based on the request of the Joseph Borg, to be the convener of MER & JRE program. This meant double the work, and dealing with the available time slots within the limited time, and availability of the rooms (A process closely done with Hopeton & Aimee).
7. Scope enlarged the call for papers in different regions to maximize the diversity of the contributions .
8. Old and new members of JRE were invited to chair sessions to ensure diversity and gender balance.
9. JRE 09 included (14) sessions; one of them was a joint Session with CPT. The JRE program also introduced two round table discussions as a pilot in two of the JRE themes to ensure maximum engagement.
During Mexico 09 conference:
1. Total number of papers that were discussed in Mexico Conference is (52), number of attendees exceed one hundred, excluding two more papers. As one author came, and got sick so was in the session but could finish the presentation, while the other author has also registered but had an emergency and sent another colleague to present the paper. Is there a fixed rule to deal with similar situations in the future?
2.JRE Section had generally very good attendance in (10) sessions, while having only two presenters in one session, one in a session, and the joint session with CPT was cancelled due to authors not showing up without notification.
3. All sessions have been documented by pictures, which will be posted in August on the JRE Blog.
4. I have been attending all the session, except the concurrent ones of course, to know the feedback of the JRE members. I think the feedback is great but I´ll still use the survey to get specific responses about the different issues related to the JRE section.
After the Mexico 09 Conference:
1. Survey to assess the level of performance and listen to constructive ideas for better structure and organization.
2. Selection of a new steering committee for the blind review of the JRE On-line Journal.
3. JRE members receive email for the JRE On-line Journal, and different information get posted on the blog.
In the second section, the feedback report includes the assessment of the JRE section performance in the eyes of its growing in size and demographics members. The overall performance of JRE section was generally very satisfactory, and in some cases have even surpassed the agreed upon plans. Others showed some delays due to unforeseen circumstances like the N1H1, or the unfamiliarity of the current changes that are already addressed and improved.
Having sad so, this is only the beginning of a more dynamic of the JRE section progress, through engaging and participation of the section members to help position itself as a global key player in the field of journalism research and education.
First, all the feedback responses confirmed that the JRE section has levelled the correspondence prior to the conference, and that it was informative and effective. For example, Abiodun Salawu said that the organization was good, and even considered it one of the best organised sections at the conference, especially in terms of availability of presenters and their papers for presentation. Dulcilia Buitoni added that the logistical arrangements were very nice, and the papers had a good level; as well as the logistical arrangements were very nice. However, Dulcilia urged the section to have more focus on visual languages, and further widening of geographic areas, and regions.
Hiroki Minami did not depend on the comprehensive information available on the blog, and requested more diversity among the participants, though Hiroki acknowledged that the JRE section mechanism and performance was very effective.
Second, the newly developed five themes, and the different components of journalism research and education were positively received. For example, Joel Frederico de Silveria said that the main trends of the theory and practice were balanced in the papers presented. Joel added that there were a lot of research in a comparative perspective about journalistic cultures, as well a strong discussion in terms of de-westernalization of journalism studies and research.
Susan Jacobson proposed to have “top paper” awards,.but they do not have to be monetary awards. However, to be eligible for “top paper,” presenters must turn in a full paper by the deadline. Susan urged for more attention to journalism education, and emphasis on junior researcher, I would be willing to serve as a moderator to free up some of the more senior scholars to be discussants.Susan recommended have a pre-conference workshop on journalism education. Susan acknowledged that JRE was one of the better-organized sections at IAMCR Mexico. I also found the papers to be of high quality.
Third, the technical and ethical challenges were projected by some of the members. For example, Malou Willemers had concerns about members missing the conference without notification. Malou also felt that the technical staff in some the sessions were not up to the mark, and lacked the necessary skills to help, and recommends that the next conference should give it much attention. Manual Pinto had concerns about the merge of the two sections, though Manual is very familiar why the JRE section chair accepted the challenge and offered to help. Besides, Manual confirmed that the sessions were very well dynamic with interesting debates, and supported the new idea introduced to have regular sessions, panels, and round table discussions (JRE Cafe').
Mara Rovida suggested to give more time for discussion, and advised the presenters to have brief over view to provide this essential dynamic time. Miguel Vicente had concerns about the fact that reviewing abstract submission, though it is acknowledged that at this stage it would be not practical.
Miguel recommended that JRE participants in the conference would receive comprehensive feedback for the final reviewed papers, and supported the idea of the conference virtual room, and recommended that the section should seek further collaboration from journals or editing houses to give a wider spread to some of the better papers presented at these conferences, as well as giving more attention to junior faculty. Miguel concluded by stating that the JRE section has proved very high level of performance, and suggested that the structure and mechanism should be adopted in other sections and working.
Fourth, the format and presentation was a point of debate by some of the JRE members. For example, Mireya Marquez-Ramirez & Susan Jacobson emphasized the necessity of having all full papers prior to the conference to dedicate most of the time for discussion, and also urged for providing affiliations and contact information available for further follow up. Mireya was skeptical about presenting their papers in Spanish! In contrast, Remgin Ozan urged for further language diversity including German, Japanese, and Turkish with summaries in English.
In a different aspect, Santi Urrutia said there were sometimes problems related to the conference venue: conference rooms and data show etc, and some meeting locations were a bit awkward (have to cross the street to go there), but concluded that JRE was better than what was expected.
Torbjorn von Krogh suggested to organize panels discuss ideas about themes within the the round table discussions (JRE Cafe). Torbjorn requested a wider spectre of formats during the day would be great that could range from probings of theoretical papers with appointed discussants in the morning, to normal paper sessions (also with discussants) in the middle of the day and in the afternoon move over to round tables,where the participants that are chosen to represent a variety of opinions only have stated their position on one page in beforehand with livelier discussions, maybe with a provocative moderator. In addition, Torbjorn suggested that the afternoon session could also be an interview/discussion between two ‘opposing’ scholars.
In this third section, the JRE section chair provides a general overview of his vision for the next three years, which includes some of the suggestions presented in Mexico (09) in the language diversity plenary.
The next business meeting in Braga, Portugal should address the suggestions revealed by members of the JRE section, though many of these pro-active recommendations are already implemented. As such the business meeting will be a general meeting to the section members to share the lessons learned and best practices from the actively participated members.
It is advisable to explore opportunities for linking JRE to different regions, and may be organize regional panels, symposia, as well as the establishment of a mechanism that enables the JRE section community become more integrated, and productive in assessing and shaping the practice of the field, whether from a theoretical or practical perspective.
Using language diversity to promote mutual respect and focus on how differences can be a positive aspect to reach a common understanding of what the language, as well as its context is all about and what it represents as a whole.
It is only through the encouragement of JRE members to gain real understanding of different aspects of different schools of journalism that educators and practitioners could avoid the current dilemma of hurting people’s feelings and reassuring people that their beliefs, values, and issues have not gone unheard.
Besides, the real outcome of the theme of International Collaborative Research that was introduced in (08)in Stockholm will not only help connect researchers and members, but also bond the whole IAMCR community and allow a space for unprecedented knowledge and mutual respect.
As such, the process of monitoring journalism language choices, especially with group members who are not speaking English as their primary language could limit the use of offensive misinterpretation of meaning that might result from changing context in translation.
It is also advisable to consider an initiative of collaboration among JRE section members to develop a digital library with different resources in different languages.
Introducing the idea of "Friends of (JRE) IAMCR," where outstanding research papers and promising scholars are encouraged to attend (This is not travel grant), by providing them with financial help, and translate their work to allow accessibility, and encourage cross cultural communication
Selecting and acknowledging the work of JRE board (could be changed every two years), and voting on their selection during the next business meeting (2012) to handle the JRE themes, selection of papers for the conference, and reviewing the papers for the JRE on-line Publication, and any other idea or matter related to the JRE section.

Making this connection between Journalism and Citizenship not only helps citizens all over the world to enhance their level of engagement, but also satisfies a global news-hungry appetite as a sound investment in better policy-making and a core element of good governance.

The Journalism Research & Education Section invites papers within the general theme to promote conduct and dissemination of research into all facets of journalism research and journalism education.

The JRE Section covers five main themes:

Qualitative Versus Quantitative Methods.
How to further internationalization and integration of journalism studies?
Means of facilitating the dialogue between different schools of thought and regional traditions of studying journalism.
New methods and approaches to the methodological arsenal of empirical journalism studies, particularly methods that are of use for cross-cultural comparative research.

Fourth Theme: Methods for Quantifying Professional Journalism:

How to map current practices of Professional Education?
How to evaluate and rank Professional Education– quality, standards, & effectiveness?
How to establish and monitor Professional Education credentials?
How to compare Professional Education– volume, focuses, specialties, and neglected areas?

Panel possiblity on student publishing for Braga

2009-10-27T14:12:00.001-07:00

Hi everyone, My name is Lawrie Zion, and I'm interested in exploring the possiblities of developing a panel for IAMCR's Braga conference next year about the student publishing within journalism curricula.

I run the journalism program at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, where we've recently set up upstart (http://www.upstart.net.au) which has been designed to facilitate student publishing and to be developed as a resource for emerging journalists in Australia by setting up sections devoted to profiling journalists, linking to the blogs of our writers, and setting up a research forum (called The Incubator, which is still in its early phase).

We've had a very interesting and successful launch phase (we went live in June) and my colleague (Dr Christopher Scanlon) and I have been writing papers and speaking at a range of industry and academic forums about the project and its implications for journalism education. Upstart has had a very visible impact in both our curriculum and in the motivation of students, many of whom now see the value of aggregating a body of work whilst at university. We've also built a base audience by placing updates on Facebook and Twitter whenever we post an article. (see "upstartmagazine" on Facebook and http:/twitter.com/upstartmagazine.)

You can hear me talking about upstart on my recent appearance on the Melbourne station of our national broadcaster, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, by going here.

I'm happy to answer any questions about any of the above (please email me on l.zion@latrobe.edu.au) and, of course, please feel free to check out upstart.
