Call for papers
Thematic session 12: Taking Stock: Thirty Years of Transformation of Journalistic Labour
2020 Nordic Working Life Conference
10–12 June 2020
Faculty of Social Sciences, Aaalborg University, Denmark
The journalistic profession and journalists’ labour have undergone significant changes in the past three decades. These are linked to technological developments as well as broader socio-political and economic changes. Apart from the most widely studied influences – the impact of new technologies and economic pressures – the past thirty years also involved the transformation of the journalistic profession and labour as a result of the fall of communism in East Central Europe, the re-unification of Germany or the break-up of Yugoslavia. Studies on the working lives of journalists continue to be scarce. We reviewed all the volumes of three key academic journals devoted to the study of journalism, namely Journalism Studies, Digital Journalism and Journalism Practice and found a limited number of studies that deal with journalists’ working lives and these tend to focus on the impact of technological change and economic pressures. The studies also tend to focus on the US and UK, with occasional research on Nordic countries.
In order to address the lack in research, we solicit abstracts for papers as part of a thematic session that will address three key areas:
1. What insights and developments has research on journalists’ labour, working lives and conditions of work uncovered in the past three decades?
2. What gaps can we identify in such research?
3. What new avenues – including theoretical and methodological approaches – are required for future research?
Deadline for abstract submission: 1 October 2019

Call for papers: Conference “Media literacy in a media-rich ecology” (extended to September 30)
The ISCTE-IUL, Lisbon in association with the European project MediaCoach Initiative is pleased to announce a call for proposals for the Conference “Media literacy in a media-rich ecology”, which will be held December 4, 2019 (Wednesday), at the ISCTE-IUL, Portugal (https://www.iscte-iul.pt/).
The deadline to submit proposals was extended to September 30, 2019
Concerning the theme: Media literacy in a media-rich ecology
As the current digitally mediated environment becomes an ever more substantial means through which individuals structure their personal and social lives, it is increasingly important that they understand the complex nature of the media ecology. The media permeates virtually all domains of the lives of common citizens, embedded in domestic and social lives, education and training, work and leisure. Though it offers plenty of opportunities in all these areas, it also poses challenges at the personal and societal levels. Given the fast pace of technological change in our current media-rich ecology, the increasing of media-literate individuals is seen as a desirable societal goal in an age where media illiteracy tends to be regarded as problematic as traditional illiteracy. This environment also prompts a renewed effort to conceptualize, measure and disseminate media literacy worldwide, posing its own challenges for research and policy.
This conference wants not only to reach the scholar community interested in digital and media literacy, but also to encourage non-profit organizations and activists working on media literacy related initiatives to join us in discussion.
There will be three panels with the following topics:
1 – Digital literacy related activism and non-profit Organizations
2 – New digital devices, new challenges in media literacy?
3 – Digital literacy and Policy
