ECREA WEEKLY digest ARTICLES

October 25-27, 2023

Filmuniversität Potsdam Babelsberg 

Extended submission deadline: May 21, 2023 

The ECREA Television Studies section's 2023 conference will discuss how John T. Caldwell's 1995 concept "televisuality" can be redefined within the contemporary context, where broadcast is transformed and complemented by streaming, where social networks are increasingly becoming video-based social media, where television texts are "unbound" and float as remixed cultural artefacts across channels, platforms, and media, and where the transnational interconnections of the television and audiovisual industry, the conditions of economic and social crisis, and the changing audience practices are thoroughly transforming the medium.

Special Issue Call for Paper and Workshop

Manchester, UK

13th October 2023

We are delighted to issue a call for papers for a special issue of Media and Communications (IF 3.043) on the topic: ‘Data-Driven Campaigning in a Comparative Context: Toward a 4th Era of Political Communication?’

As part of this special issue, we are convening a workshop at the University of Manchester on Friday 13th October. The workshop will involve a talk and dinner on the evening of Thursday 12th followed by a day-long workshop on Friday 13th   between 9am-17pm. There will be an opportunity for remote presentations/ participation online. 

Please find the call for papers below. If you would like to participate in the workshop then please email a short 250 word abstract to Dr Andrew Barclay (a.barclay@sheffield.ac.uk) by July 1st 2023. We have some funds available to assist with the cost of travel and accommodation (depending on the number of participants). Please let us know when submitting your abstract if you will require financial support to attend.

Call for papers

The 2012 US Presidential campaign of Barack Obama was seen as a launch point for a new model of electioneering, one that was driven by scientific modelling, big data, and computational analytics. Since then reports of the spread and power of data-driven campaigning (DDC) have escalated, with the victory of Donald Trump and the Brexit vote commonly attributed to the use of these new techniques. Contrasting accounts, however, have emerged that challenge this narrative in several key ways. Notably, questions have been raised about what is the extent of adopting DDC among political parties, particularly outside of the US. How new is it in historical terms? And how effective is it in actually reaching the target audience and delivering the behavioural change required?

This thematic issue will set out and investigate the key debates surrounding the growth of DDC from comparative and historical perspectives. Specifically, we will highlight a series of core questions that the current literature has both raised and is seeking to resolve. Namely:

1. How widespread is DDC adoption across national party systems, and relatedly, does it look the same across different contexts? Is there a one size fits all version or is it adapted to local conditions, and if so, in what way?
   
2. How disruptive is DDC to modern campaigning? Does it represent a new fourth era of “scientific” and/or “subversive” approaches to voter mobilization? Or is it a more “modernizing” force that simply intensifies ongoing trends of professionalization?
   
3. Does DDC actually work? How far are the claims for precision in targeting and attitudinal and behavioural change supported by the evidence “on the ground”?
   
4. What is to be done? To what extent does DDC warrant scrutiny from governments and closer regulation?
   

We invite original submissions from authors that address these questions from theoretical and empirical perspectives and from differing disciplinary backgrounds. In addition to political scientists, we encourage scholars from related disciplinary fields such as psychology, law, business and marketing, and data science to contribute. Methodologically, we welcome both qualitative and quantitative approaches to the topic. We are particularly interested to receive papers that advance new methodological approaches to address these questions e.g., studies linking surveys and other forms of observational digital and trace data, social media network analysis, and machine learning techniques for visual analysis.

The timetable for inclusion in the special issue is as follows:

Submission of Abstracts: 1-15 December 2023

Submission of Full Papers: 15-30 April 2024

Publication of the Issue: October/December 2024

Special issue of the Media Studies and Applied Ethics

Deadline (abstracts): 13 December 2022

Datafication of journalism

Datafication is changing every aspect of our society including journalism as one of the important fundaments of democracy. Following the news production phases (observation, production, distribution, and news consumption) Loosen (2018:4) distinguishes between four forms of datafied journalism: data-based journalism, alogrithmed journalism, automated journalism, and metrics-driven journalism. Different aspects of data driven changes in journalism have been examined in all those forms during last decades, but many blind spots are still to be filled. Therefore, the main aim of this special issue is to put audiences in the forefront of examining different forms of journalism datafication.

Namely, data journalism as the fast-growing phenomena has been attracting scholarly attention. However, most of the research has been focusing on identifying characteristics of data journalism as the emerging subfield (genres, methods, storytelling techniques) and its integration into organizations, practices, and education worldwide (e.g. Bhaskaran, Kashyap & Mishra, 2022; Fink & Anderson, 2015; Munoriyarwa, 2022; Young, Hermida, & Fulda, 2018; Wu, 2022), while far less is known about audience relation to data journalism.

In the strand of the algorithmic journalism research, studies of user interactions with algorithms have been more prominent and diversified, including user perceptions of news personalization process (Monzer, 2020), experiences of news recommender systems (Wieland, 2021), and satisfaction with algorithmic news selections (Swart, 2021; Thurman et al. 2019). However, as Shin (2022: 1168) underlines, “little is known about the ways through which readers understand and actualize the potential for trust or affordances in algorithmic journalism”.

Also, significant body of research considers audiences in form of audience analytics and metrics as central for journalism transformation, including journalistic roles (Belair-Gagnon, Zamith, and Holton, 2020), news values (Kristensen, 2021), news selection (Lamot and Van Aelst, 2020), and journalistic norms and routines (Ekström, Ramsälv and Westlund, 2021). However, this area of research is mainly focused on editors’ and journalists’ work and decision-making processes. Much less attention has been given to data-analysts as growingly important actors in media, companies providing analytics to media, existing metrics and infrastructures for audience datafication.

Therefore, we invite submissions that theorize or empirically study the role of audience datafication in journalism, as well as audience interaction and engagement with data-based and algorithmic journalism. More precisely, studies that aim to answer: How is data journalism perceived, consumed, and valued in different contexts? What kind of audience needs data journalism gratifies? Does data journalism foster audience engagement? Second, we seek submissions that examine how users perceive algorithmic features and experience algorithm systems in the context of algorithmic journalism. Third, we welcome papers that focus on the role of various technological agents and non-journalist actors that intervene in the use of audience analytics and metrics in newsrooms.

ECREA Philosophy of Communication Section workshop 

Philosophy and Communication theory are two inseparable fields of knowledge. The objective of this workshop is to gather researchers from philosophy and communication to analyze the need for new communication theories in the face of new research issues, and to discuss the philosophical implications.   

Communication theory started last century with the irruption of mass media and mass culture. At that time, Western societies were going through a profound transformation. Industrialization changed the way people lived: from the countryside to the big city, the irruption of mass media and culture, the threat of political propaganda, the power of media persuasion, the deconstruction of “high” vs. “popular” culture, or the negative effects of television content in children created an atmosphere of renewal as well as uncertainty. All these issues gave rise to the first communication theories: propaganda theories, the two-step flow theory, persuasion theory, cultural studies, entertainment theory, critical theory, information-processing theory, agenda setting theory, frame theory, among others. Underlying communication theorizing, philosophical assumptions were made, regarding epistemology, meaning, ethics, cognition, science, democracy, education. 

Today new problems are the target of communication research and communication theory. Most of these issues are related to the rise of the Internet and social media, as digital communication has profoundly transformed essential aspects of our lives. Here are some examples: new mental health problems have appeared, especially among young people, as a consequence of the use of digital media; media and information literacy have become one the priorities of democratic societies trying to combat the effects of disinformation; political propaganda and discourse have adapted new forms through the politics of algorithms; artificial intelligence is posing huge and uncharted challenges for education, economy, and social order as conceived since now; gender issues are at the center of cultural and social debates, as are other questions of identity and equity. Finally, the relation between the human species and the rest of nature is in flux at all levels, ranging from ideas around the Anthropocene and climate change to trans- and posthumanism. 

In the face of new theoretical challenges, the scientific and academic community needs to reflect on how communication theory and philosophy of communication approach them. Do the “old” theories still help to explain new problems? If so, do they need to be modified? Do we need new theoretical proposals? What are the philosophical assumptions implied in new theorizing? Is philosophy itself affected by these topics?  

These are the kind of questions that will be the focus of the workshop. A space where philosophers and communication researchers will have the opportunity to explore, analyze and discuss actual intellectual challenges at a time when the theoretical renewal of communication studies is becoming a matter of urgency. 

Keynote speaker: Stefania Milan (https://www.stefaniamilan.net/) (Amsterdam). TBC

Papers to be submitted to: https://cutt.ly/HzCSduo

The Mediterranean Journal of Communication seeks the submission of articles for the special issue: Creatives industries in the network, coordinated by Dr. Antonio Castro-Higueras (University of Málaga, Spain), Dr. José Patricio Pérez-Rufí (University of Málaga, Spain)and Dr. Toby Miller (University Autónoma Metropolitana—Cuajimalpa, México), to be published in January 2024 (V15N1). Deadline for submissions: July 1st, 2023. 

Creatives industries in the network

The cultural and creative industries have become a strategic sector in the new knowledge society, both for their economic impact and other factors, such as social cohesion, identity, and the promotion of the local. The digital world has revolutionized the creative sector, like so many others. "Creative Industries and the Internet" aims o explore this new scenario and answer questions such as: 

• Are the traditional creative industries adapting to the digital milieu?
  
• Will purely digital creative industries monopolize new markets? 
  
• What are the new business models? 
  
• How do users/audiences of the creative industries behave on the Internet? 
  
• What is new creative talent like and what work does it perform? 
  
• Is there a relocation or concentration of digital creative industries in particular digital territories?
  

We also invite the analysis and interpretation of the processes and effects of platformization of cultural production and its circulation (Helmond, 2015; Nieborg and Poell, 2018; Magaudda and Solaroli, 2021) in the various sectors of the creative industries.

Special Issue of Convergence: The International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies (Sage)

Deadline: May 26, 2023

Following more than a decade of work on the structural properties of datafication and platforms, more recent studies are focussing on how users decode, make sense, avoid or resist algorithmic data. These works have contributed to make the role of users visible and meaningful and show users' reflective engagement with technology. Linking platform perspectives dealing with questions of power, accountability and governance on a macro-level to users' everyday engagement with digital technology represents a fruitful path when aiming to understand complex user-data relations. This special issue aims to connect datafication studies with lived user experiences, inviting scholars to think along and reflect on the concept of data reflectivity in their contributions.

We understand data reflectivity as a synthesizing concept signalling the dualism inherent in data: on the one hand, data reflect human users in specific (datafied) ways aiming to structure user experiences. On the other hand, users have their own ways of engaging in, circumventing, or even rebelling against these data reflections, employing reflective strategies to manipulate and shape data for their own purposes. We encourage submissions that provide theoretical, methodological or empirical venues for better understanding the data/user nexus in relation to media, platforms, infrastructures and algorithms (in particular recommendation systems), metrics and analytics.

Possible topics may include, but are not limited to:

• Conceptualisations of data reflectivity and the data/user nexus, the role of user reflectivity in the face of black boxing, obscurity, obfuscation, etc.
  
• User practices of algorithmic engagement and resistance, their relation to algorithmic imaginaries and literacies, and their implications for understanding the data/user relationship
  
• Theorizing the challenge of volatility: How to account for temporal variability of algorithmic systems in relation to users' algorithmic literacy? In other words, how to deal with algorithms as moving targets?
  
• New methodological venues for exploring the data/user relations, such as collecting "big" and "small" data, data donations, applying mixed methods in new ways etc.
  
• Examining the link between platform design and agency, reflectivity and literacy
  
• Empirical contributions engaging in questions such as: How reflective are users and what are the potentials and limitations of reflectivity for providing users with agency or literacy? What are users reflective or not reflective about in relation to data? What is the role of affective and tacit knowledge for data reflectivity?
