*CFP* “OVER FLOW: RESPONSES TO BREAKING TV & MEDIA NEWS”, NEW ISSUE, THE FLOWJOURNAL

FlowJournal formally invites contributions to our new space for responses to breaking TV and media news: OverFlow. This new feature allows time-sensitive, one-off pieces to be published on our homepage alongside our monthly columns. Past contributions that considered Black Panther’s Oscar nominations, the Game of Thrones finale, and discourse around the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team’s triumph in the World Cup have already been published as a part of this new initiative. 

We are most interested in pieces that provoke conversation around breaking TV and media news through industrial, cultural, political, economic, or national lenses. Contributors may consider the discourse surrounding popular programming, casting notices, industry announcements, awards season, policy and regulation developments, or media activism to name just a few areas of interest. Submissions will be evaluated based on timeliness, newsworthiness, and stylistic fit. 

*CFP* "LITERARY JOURNALISM IN THE GERMAN-SPEAKING WORLD", SPECIAL ISSUE, LITERARY JOURNALISM STUDIES

Journalism’s ‘information paradigm’ has been under scrutiny not just since the digital transformations of our mediascape in the last decades. For almost half a century, Gaye Tuchman’s diagnosis of a ‘strategic ritual of objectivity’ has served as a foil against which many critiques of conventional news journalism can be projected, e. g. its lack of transparency and bias towards institutional sources and ideologies as well as the impersonal stance news journalism often assumes to report and comment on events and ideas in the here and now. The recent crisis of media trust and accountability may arise in parts from these deficits. At any rate, it is largely undisputed that journalism needs to reflect (and possibly: adapt) its professional identity and its modes of presentation if it wants to continue to fulfil its social function in the long run.

In this context, it is worthwhile to turn attention to alternative forms of journalism that rely much more on personal experience, in-depth research, the presentation of different perspectives, and an authentic journalistic voice to make news, but also overcome social boundaries and engage readers emotionally. One of these approaches can be found in the concept of Literary Journalism.

*CFP* “CULTURAL JOURNALISM: ITS GLOBAL, DEMOCRATIC AND TRANSFORMATIVE DIMENSIONS”, INTERNATIONAL 2020 SYMPOSIUM

Cultural journalism: its global, democratic and transformative dimensions 

13-14 de febrero de 2020

Stockholm University, Sweden

Confirmed keynotes: Professor Nete Nørgaard Kristensen (University of Copenhagen) and Professor David Hesmondhalgh (University of Leeds)

In an era when culture itself has become central to political debates, when boundaries between hard and soft news, facts and opinion are dissolving, cultural journalism in mainstream media contributes to democratic discourses on vital issues of our time. European and Nordic research has shown the steady expansion of cultural journalism, from new forms of aesthetic expression to news, to harbouring debates and reflection on such issues as freedom of expression, ethnicity and national identity. Cultural journalism is furthermore indicative of questions of journalistic autonomy and specialisation within media organisations, and of the relationship between the cultural and political public spheres.
