Edited by: Neil Thurman, Seth C. Lewis, Jessica Kunert

This book examines the growing importance of algorithms and automation—including emerging forms of artificial intelligence—in the gathering, composition, and distribution of news. In it the authors connect a long line of research on journalism and computation with scholarly and professional terrain yet to be explored.

Taken as a whole, these chapters share some of the noble ambitions of the pioneering publications on ‘reporting algorithms’, such as a desire to see computing help journalists in their watchdog role by holding power to account. However, they also go further, firstly by addressing the fuller range of technologies that computational journalism now consists of: from chatbots and recommender systems to artificial intelligence and atomised journalism. Secondly, they advance the literature by demonstrating the increased variety of uses for these technologies, including engaging underserved audiences, selling subscriptions, and recombining and re-using content. Thirdly, they problematise computational journalism by, for example, pointing out some of the challenges inherent in applying artificial intelligence to investigative journalism and in trying to preserve public service values. Fourthly, they offer suggestions for future research and practice, including by presenting a framework for developing democratic news recommenders and another that may help us think about computational journalism in a more integrated, structured manner.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Digital Journalism.

Call for Book Chapters

Deadline: May 30, 2021

This edited volume aims to address the complexity of the media war taking place in Palestine/Israel (May 2021). Various international news media organisations have been covering the outbreak of the dramatic events, which started with the eviction attempts of Palestinian residents of Sheikh Jarrah area in Jerusalem by the Israeli army and Israeli settlers. Covering the Arab-Israeli conflict remains one of the hot yet controversial issues on the international news agenda. It has generated more attention as well as complaints about media coverage than any other conflicts in other parts of the world. The region has one of the highest concentrations of journalists in the world, reflecting the intense worldwide interest in the conflict.

But how have local, regional and global media outlets been covering the on-going conflict?

To what extent have citizen journalists challenged the propaganda war?

This edited book attempts to unpack the media management of this war by the different players. It looks at the stance Israeli as well as Western media have taken in covering the conflict as compared to the Arab media?

How does the Al-Jazeera’s coverage compare with other regional and international channels?

What alternative news from both sides have social media networks been providing in covering this war? How much does the media coverage resonate into public opinion formation and, hence help influence policymakers' actions and decisions? What should be the role of a responsible journalism vis-à-vis the conflict? What repercussions can there be freedom of speech after the bombing of Al-Jazeera’s broadcasting centre in Gaza as well as the offices of Associated Press and other local Palestinian channels.

Chapters based on original empirical studies or works based on theoretical discussions are invited regarding (and not necessarily limited to) the following areas of enquiry:

• Arab vs Western media: are we watching the same war?
• Media coverage as a propaganda war.
• Digital media and the competing media narratives.
• Mediating the conflict: cross-countries comparisons
• Reporting the war by the Israeli media.

• Al-Jazeera’s news reporting the target again in the midst the war.
• Israeli media management and the international public opinion?

• Palestinian and Arab diaspora and the mediation of the conflict?
• Social media wars and the mediatisation of the conflict.
• Resistance/citizen journalism and the Palestinian narrative.
• Media coverage and policy-making: What implications?
• Social media and social activism in the Palestinian/Israeli conflict.

Deadlines for submission:

• Abstracts of about 300 words, author’s bio (100 words) and full institutional contact details (Full address and e-mail): by 30th May 2021.
• Accepted abstracts notification: 15th June 2021.

Authors whose abstracts get accepted will be provided with the full details of publishing guidelines and full chapter submission.

• Full papers: by 15th December 2021.
• Expected publication of the edited book: 2022

Submissions:

Initial abstracts and full manuscripts to be considered for publication should be submitted via e-mail to Noureddine Miladi (Editor) on: noureddinemiladi@amcn.online .

New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

Deadline: July 1, 2021

2021 Literature/Film Association Conference

Keynote: Vicki Mayer, Tulane University

Holding the annual conference of the Literature/Film Association in New Orleans raises questions of labor and leisure in relation to adaptation in the study of literature, film, and media. Not only has the city served as the home to writers and filmmakers, but it also has become a major media capital in its own right, enticing television and film production with tax incentives and its distinctive culture. As “work” and “play” have motivated a good deal of recent scholarship across literature, film, and media studies, we invite presentations that put these concerns in conversation with adaptation, broadly defined. While we welcome papers on any aspect of film and media studies, we are especially interested in presentations that address one or more of the following concerns regarding work or play:

• the work behind adapting into a different medium
• labor and cultural production
• authorship and adaptation
• the workplace as cultural intersection/metaphor in literature, film, and media
• production studies and below-the-line labor
• play in cultural production
• teaching adaptation and adapting teaching
• labor, social change, and adaptation
• adaptation as textual play
• game play as adaptation
• games as adaptations or adapting games
• play in analyzing and interpreting text
• plays as adaptations or adapting plays into a different medium
• performance as adaptation

We also have significant interest in general studies of American and international cinema, film and technology, television, new media, and other cultural or political issues connected to the moving image. In addition to academic papers, presentation proposals about pedagogy or from creative writers, artists, and filmmakers are also welcome.

Vicki Mayer is Professor of Communication at Tulane University. Her research encompasses media and communication industries, their political economies, infrastructures, and their organizational work cultures. Her publications seek to theorize and illustrate how these industries shape workers and how media and communication work shapes workers and citizens. Her theories inform her work in the digital humanities and pedagogy, most recently on ViaNolaVie and NewOrleansHistorical. Her books include Producing Dreams, Consuming Youth: Mexican Americans and Mass Media; Below the Line: Producers and Production Studies in the New Television Economy; and Almost Hollywood, Nearly New Orleans: The Lure of the Local Film Economy.

Please submit your proposal via this link by July 1, 2021. If you have any questions or concerns, contact Pete Kunze at litfilmconference@gmail.com. Accepted presenters will be notified by July 15, and the conference program will be available by August 1. We anticipate being in person, but we will follow CDC guidelines accordingly.

The conference hotel rate of $199/night is available at the Four Points Sheraton French Quarter. Limited travel grant support is planned to be available for select graduate students, non-tenure-track faculty, and/or independent scholars and artists. We also will award Best Graduate Student Paper. Details for an added application process for such support will be shared following proposal acceptances in July.

The conference registration fee is $200 ($150 for students and retirees) before October 1, 2021 and $225 ($175 for students and retirees) thereafter. All conference attendees must also be current members of the Literature/Film Association. Annual dues are $20. To register for the conference and pay dues following acceptance of your proposal, visit the Literature/Film Association website at http://litfilm.org/conference and use our PayPal feature.

Sheffield Hallam University

Applications are invited for a PhD scholarship in the area of Film Festival Studies, commencing 1st October 2021. Full details here: https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/a-critical-cultural-history-of-sheffield-doc-fest-1986-2019/?p132643

The PhD will examine the cultural history of Sheffield Doc/Fest from its origins in the early 1990s through its evolution and growth in the early 2000s, through to its recent obtainment of charity status. Doc/Fest is a major annual international media event, which is central to the UK’s creative industries, to the international documentary community, and to the economy and cultural life of Sheffield and the wider Yorkshire region. The aim of the project will be to research the political economy of the festival to understand how it has operated as a transitional platform between the local, regional, and (inter)national.

You will investigate the relationship between Doc/Fest, the city, and the documentary community. The project will ascertain what the festival meant to stakeholders in the early 1990s and how this evolved over the subsequent decades. Sheffield and Doc/Fest are deeply interconnected. Doc/Fest was marketed as being ‘internationally’ focused, but Sheffield has always been at its centre. The festival has operated from the start as a brand promoter for the city, influencing the perception of stakeholders beyond Sheffield (delegates, filmmakers, policy makers). Major national broadcasters have sponsored the festival and, in return, expected the programming to reflect their own institutional and commercial priorities, thus shaping the cultural evolution of Doc/Fest. These issues are currently overlooked in existing histories and studies of Sheffield’s cultural industries and creative economy.

The student will make use of newly deposited archival papers, analysing and cataloguing the documents. They will also interview previous board members, company executives, festival directors, administrators, filmmakers, and festival delegates. In addition, the student will co-organise a critical history public engagement event in collaboration with Doc/Fest reflecting on the festival’s cultural evolution, key films and speakers from its past, and reflections on its future.

The PhD candidate will be supported by two external advisors at Doc/Fest: Cíntia Gill, the current festival director, and Melanie Iredale, the deputy director.

You will be joining a vibrant PhD programme in the Centre for Culture, Media & Society (CCMS). CCMS is an exciting interdisciplinary research environment with a particular concern to recognise culture as a key interlocutor for social and political change and pursues work capable of delivering critical insight and real-world impact.

You will have opportunities to learn at a range of seminars, workshops and conferences. We offer training on specific research methods via modules on the M. Res in Social Science and access to specialist media and film.

September 30-October 1, 2021

Online conference (Zoom)

Deadline: June 30, 2021

Conference by the Methods Division of the German Communication Association (DGPuK)

Description

The pandemic has generated enormous research endeavors from all scientific disciplines including the social sciences. In the field of communication, researchers studied, for instance, the diverse effects of the crisis with respect to social media and smartphone use (e.g., Huckins et al., 2020; Ellis et al., 2020), online misinformation (e.g., van der Linden et al., 2020), media exposure and psychological effects of the pandemic (e.g., Garfin et al., 2020), or communication strategies and health behaviors (e.g., Muselli et al., 2021). Besides influencing the topics of communication research, the pandemic has also led to significant changes in how we do research, as for instance, regarding our research settings as well as methods (Gruber et al., 2021), our research environments, our standards and procedures, or the interaction between researchers. Against this background, the overall question of this call is “How does COVID-19 affect communication research?”. The online conference aims to address this question in all its possible facets and dimensions. More specifically, the call for papers is open to diverse perspectives regarding how the pandemic has affected research designs, settings, instruments, standards, logics, or productivity. This involves, but is not limited to, the development of new data collection procedures, measures, or analysis techniques as well as the various ways in which research has been conducted during the pandemic covering issues such as gender diversity, research ethics, participant health, research productivity, quality and rigor, lab designs, or issues related to replicability, open science, and meta-science. We also welcome submissions focusing on methodological questions relating to research on communication and COVID-19. The call is open to all epistemological perspectives. In addition to the conference topic, there is also an “Open Call”. Detailed Call: https://methods-conference.univie.ac.at/

Guidelines

Extended Abstracts in English (max. 1.200 words including references and tables) should be submitted as an anonymized pdf-file including the topic designation (“Thematic Call” or “Open Call”). The submission site will open on June 1, 2021 at https://methods-conference.univie.ac.at/. Submissions will be administered with ConfTool.
