Lifestyle Journalism

JOURNALISM PRACTICE

Special Issue on Lifestyle Journalism -Call for Papers

Guesteditor: Folker Hanusch

The past two decades or so have seen an exponential rise in consumer-orientedjournalistic output outside the traditional hard news arena. Increasingly, itseems that newspapers and broadcast news spend less time on hard news, butprovide their audiences with more soft news content, much of which has becomeknown as lifestyle journalism. Despite the rise of lifestyle journalism – such as travel, entertainment, leisure, lifestyle, food, music, arts, gardening andhuman interest
stories – the field is still viewed with much scepticism from many journalists and academics alike. In recent years, there have been some attempts at examining aspects of lifestyle journalism more seriously, such as in travel journalism. However, acomprehensive scholarly investigation of the field as a whole has yet not beenforthcoming. Yet, as lifestyle journalism expands in the modern news media environment, and audiences are increasingly drawn to its content, it is crucialthat academic researchers investigate its professional practices in order tofurther our understanding of the field and in this way to examine in what way lifestyle journalism may challenge existing definitions and understandings ofjournalism, which have
traditionally been linked to journalism’s role as aprovider of hard news. Further, lifestyle journalism’s proximity to theeconomic field needs to be assessed in this context. This special issue therefore seeks to provide a space for a scholarly
discussion and contextualisation of the phenomenon that is lifestyle journalism. Articles areinvited that critically examine the professional practices and the content ofthe various sub-fields of lifestyle journalism, or investigate the phenomenonof lifestyle journalism as compared to other forms of journalism. Suggestedareas of focus include, but are not limited to:

·        Comprehensive analyses of individualsub-fields, such as food, fashion, entertainment, music, art, travel, andothers
·        Historical studies of the developmentof lifestyle journalism
·        Theoretical explorations of lifestylejournalism’s impact on contemporary understandings of journalism
·        Examinations of the motivations,professional orientations and standards of lifestyle journalists
·        Comparisons of lifestyle with news content
·        Comparative approaches to lifestyle journalism in different countries
·        The unique economic influences in lifestyle journalism
·        Explorations of the ethics of lifestyle journalism
·        Lifestyle journalism on a variety of platforms, such as newspapers, TV and online
·        Lifestyle journalism and participatory journalism

Prospectiveauthors should email an abstract of approximately 500 words
to Folker Hanusch (fhanusch@usc.edu.au).The special issue will review
all submissions, and successful authors will beinvited to submit a full
manuscript. Selected papers will be subjected to peerreview.

·        Deadline for abstracts: end June 2010
·        Deadline for submission of articles forreview: early January 2011
·        Final revised papers due:  end June 2011
·        Publication: end of 2011/early 2012

FIFTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES

with one comment

University of Rome
Rome, Italy
2-4 February 2011
http://designprinciplesandpractices.com/

Next year’s conference will be held in Rome, Italy. The Design Conference is a place to explore the meaning and purpose of ‘design’, as well as speaking in grounded ways about the task of design and the use of designed artifacts and processes. The conference is a cross-disciplinary forum that brings together researchers, teachers and practitioners to discuss the nature and future of design. In professional and disciplinary terms, the conference traverses a broad sweep to construct a dialogue which encompasses the perspectives and practices of: anthropology, architecture, art, artificial intelligence, business, cognitive science, communication studies, computer science, cultural studies, design studies, education, e-learning, engineering, ergonomics, fashion, graphic design, history, information systems, industrial design, industrial engineering, instructional design, interior design, interaction design, interface design, journalism, landscape architecture, law, linguistics and semiotics, management, media and entertainment, psychology, sociology, software engineering and telecommunications.

This highly inclusive format provides conference delegates with significant opportunities to connect with people from shared fields and disciplines and with those from vastly different specializations. The resulting conversations provide ample occasions for mutual learning, often weaving between the theoretical and the empirical, research and application, and market pragmatics and social idealism.

As well as an international line-up of plenary speakers, the conference will also include numerous paper, workshop and colloquium presentations by practitioners, teachers and researchers. Presenters may choose to submit written papers for publication in the refereed Design Principles and Practices: An International Journal. If you are unable to attend the conference in person, virtual registrations are also available which allow you to submit a paper for refereeing and possible publication, as well as access to the journal.

Whether you are a virtual or in-person presenter at the Design Conference, we also encourage you to present on the conference YouTube Channel. Please select the online sessions link on the conference website for further details.

The deadline for the next round in the call for papers (a title and short abstract) is 15 April 2010. Future deadlines will be announced on the conference website after this date. Proposals are reviewed within two weeks of submission. Full details of the conference, including an online proposal submission form, may be found on the conference website at http://designprinciplesandpractices.com/.

Journalism’s Next Top Model: Meeting the Cost of Journalism Tomorrow

School of Journalism and Mass Communication

University of Westminster

Call for Papers

Journalism’s Next Top Model: Meeting the Cost of Journalism Tomorrow

8th and 9th June 309 Regent Street London W1

News media all over the world are failing as the traditional revenue from advertising bleeds to the web. Free news websites are discouraging the young from buying newspapers. So who will pay for what sort of journalism in the future?

Following last year’s hugely successful “Journalism in Crisis” the University of Westminster is organising a conference on the future funding of the news industry.

Local papers in Britain are closing as display advertising follows the classifieds into cyberspace, yet some US regional papers are funded by subscribers for their websites; will readers accept pay walls round the tabloids? ITV regional news is in meltdown and will the licence fee be around to pay for BBC coverage?

This conference will examine the different experiments in sustaining serious journalism in the new environment, both commercial and not for profit:

  • the conditions for charging for content;
  • leveraging content and customer data to advertisers and marketers;
  • local authority funded media;
  • direct support for non-profit news operation from subscribers and charities;
  • the viability of Independently Funded News Consortia (IFNCs) and those without public subsidy;
  • can investigative journalism continue to exist and who will pay for long form journalism?
  • how will legal rights be protected without the financial support of a well funded fourth estate?
  • what will happen to the BBC News output?
  • and does the French subsidy model have wider applications?

We invite papers from academics in media, as well as business and others addressing the theoretical issues involved in the study of journalism. We are also keen to hear about practical experiments today, and possible developments tomorrow.

The conference will take place on June 8th and 9th 2010 at the Regent Street campus of the University of Westminster. As well as the presentation of academic papers there will be industry panels, featuring major names from press and broadcast as well as regulators.

Please send abstracts of not more than 250 words to Helen Cohen (journalism@wmin.ac.uk) by 22nd March 2010.
