Digital Media Literacy in Africa: Call for papers
by P Boshoff 31 Jan '23

31 Jan '23

Digital Media Literacies in Africa: Call for Papers A great deal of scholarly attention has been given to media literacy in recent years, as shown by the numerous books and journal articles published on the topic over the past decade. Yet much of this research examines media literacy in the European, Asian, and American contexts. Africa, by contrast, has been given scant attention. The recent Wiley Blackwell International Encyclopedia of Media Literacy, for example, has a range of case studies, none of which comes from Africa. Within the research literature, two broad approaches are noticeable. One looks at media literacy from the point of view of “skills” (such as news literacy and how to spot propaganda or fake news) while the other is concerned with how to develop “critical” media literacies (for example, understanding how media ownership shapes news content). However, due to the development of ICTs and social media, media literacy concepts and research foci have expanded dramatically over the past two decades. For example, Keener & West (2021) identify media literacies as including issues such as traditional news literacy; digital citizenship; digital literacy; information literacy; media arts; and technological media literacy. Despite differences in approach to media literacy, the overarching goal of media literacy scholarship and advocacy is to empower media users, enabling them to understand the complexities of media production and consumption as well as the implications of media for individuals and society at large. Ultimately, we argue with Lewis and Jhally (2006) that the primary aim of media literacy education is to create more sophisticated citizens, rather than sophisticated media consumers. What is interesting from our current African context is the particular variety and distribution of media that are available due to our colonial past; and how these are made part of social life in contexts of deep inequalities. Given this history and the inequalities that shape how we are able to access and interact with the media - whether “legacy” or digital media - we ask: “what does it mean - and take - to be media literate in Africa today?” What research there is, appears contradictory: de Laneroll, Walton, and Schoon (2020) for example argue that despite the enormous challenges of being “less connected” in African contexts of economic and infrastructural inequality, people are highly skilled and resourceful in order to overcome their digital limitations. In contrast, research that is interested in a developmental agenda tends to stress the importance of media literacy, particularly in the context of growing disinformation and misinformation spread via digital media platforms. For example, the recent Covid-19 pandemic brought media literacy in Africa into sharp focus, particularly with the creation and spread of disinformation and misinformation about the virus and efforts to combat it (Cunliffe-Jones, et al, 2021). In this unique seven-country study, Cunliffe-Jones et al. conclude that misinformation literacy is barely taught in Africa. Given this paucity of scholarship about media literacy in Africa, especially in relation to the complexity of our media landscape, as well as digital inequalities and its impacts on Africans as media users (producers and consumers) in the age of rising internet connectivity, social media, information overload, disinformation and misinformation, this call for paper is targeted at understanding themes such as: Journalism and digital media literacy in Africa Youth digital media literacy education in Africa Youth, social media and self-representation Media literacy, cyberbullying, sexting, trolling, phishing and media addiction Digital media literacy, gender and body-image positivity Media literacy education in African countries Media literacy in African contexts of socio-economic inequality Media literacy and digital inequalities in Africa Power and hegemony in legacy and digital media in Africa Media literacy, dis/misinformation and fact-checking in African contexts Media literacy and African citizenship education Media literacy, political communication and propaganda in Africa Media literacy and digital media activism in Africa Innovative indigenous digital media literacy practices in Africa Media literacy and health communication Digital advertising and disinformation Digital literacy and COVID-19 Interested researchers and practitioners are invited to submit an abstract of 350 words clearly explaining the details of their proposed contributions in line with the theme by 15 February 2023. Abstracts should be emailed to: digitalliteracies(a)ru.ac.za Contributors will be notified about the status of their abstracts by 17 February 2023. Full papers are expected to be submitted by 31 May 2023 The journal will be published online by 1 February 2024 You may view the special edition page on African Journalism Studies: Digital Media Literacies in Africa at https://bit.ly/Digital_Media_Literacies All interested authors must consult the guidelines for manuscript submissions at https://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?show=instructions&journ… All contributions will be subjected to a double-blind review process.

CFP: Examining New Models in Journalism Funding
by James Meese 31 Jan '23

31 Jan '23

RMIT Classification: Trusted Please find a CFP for Media and Communication titled ‘Examining New Models in Journalism Funding’ below. We’re particularly interested in papers that address the growing funding of news media by platform companies. It’s also worth noting that there is an Article Processing Charge for the journal in some cases. Editor(s): Merja Myllylahti (Auckland University of Technology) and James Meese (RMIT University) Submission of Abstracts: 1-15 March 2023 Submission of Full Papers: 15-31 July 2023 Publication of the Issue: January/March 2024 For well over a decade, the news media sector has been struggling through a series of financial crises. As a result, news companies have modified their revenue models, and they continue to do so. More recently, governments in some markets have launched new funds to support journalism, offering cash payments. Additionally, Google and Facebook are increasingly paying for news content. These emerging funding models raise questions about how commercial media should be supported by the public and platforms. A recent report, commissioned by the New Zealand Ministry of Culture and Heritage, argues that “there is no need for ongoing public funding for commercial news content,” (Loan et al., 2021) and that government funding presents risks around interference with editorial content. In the past, scholars have investigated business models of journalism based on subscriptions, memberships, and donations, but there is a need to update our understanding of these models and any other emerging models of funding journalism in this decade. Therefore, we invite scholars to submit theoretical, conceptual, innovative, and empirical scholarship that explores how these developments shape the news media sector and its relationship to democracy. We welcome qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-methods research from across the globe. The questions we are aiming to address include: * Which theoretical frameworks and approaches are essential in investigating contemporary business models of journalism? * How effective/sustainable are the emerging revenue models that rely on support from governments and/or platforms? * How can we critically evaluate revenue models supported by the government and/or platforms? * What kind of empirical evidence can be used to evaluate contemporary revenue models of journalism? * What kind of paradoxes rise from the public/platform funding of private media? * What are the democratic and societal impacts associated with the governmental and/or platform funding of the media? * Are there case studies that exemplify sustainable revenue models of digital journalism?

Sapere. https://mch.govt.nz/sites/default/files/projects/sapere-report-media-plural… Instructions for Authors: Authors interested in submitting a paper for this issue are asked to consult the journal's instructions for authors and submit their abstracts (maximum of 250 words, with a tentative title) through the abstracts system (here<https://www.cogitatiopress.com/abstracts>). When submitting their abstracts, authors are also asked to confirm that they are aware that Media and Communication is an open access journal with a publishing fee if the article is accepted for publication after peer-review (corresponding authors affiliated with our institutional members do not incur this fee).

Books in the series analyse how power structures, digital capitalism, ideology, domination and social struggles shape and are shaped by digital and social media. They use and develop critical theories, are profoundly theoretical and discuss the political relevance and implications of the topics under scrutiny. The Series has published 24 books since its launch in 2016. UWP is a non-profit open access publisher of Humanities and Social Science research, based in the UK, with a global reach. We support ‘diamond’ open access and most of our publications are made available without fees to either authors or readers.

The series is a critical theory forum for internet and social media research that makes critical interventions into contemporary political topics in the context of digital and social media. It is interested in publishing work that, based on critical theory foundations, develops and applies critical social media research methods that challenge digital positivism, as well as digital media ethics that are grounded in critical social theories and critical philosophy. The series’ understanding of critical theory and critique is grounded in approaches such as critical political economy and Frankfurt School critical theory. CALL DETAILS All books must be between 35,000-90,000 words in length, with a preference for projects that can submit a full draft typescript within the next 6-12 months.

19th IEEE eScience Conference (eScience 2023): Last Call for Workshop Proposals
by Announce Announcements 30 Jan '23

30 Jan '23

*** Last Call for Workshop Proposals *** 19th IEEE eScience Conference (eScience 2023) October 9-13, 2023, St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus https://www.escience-conference.org/2023/ The 19th IEEE eScience Conference will be held in Limassol, Cyprus on October 9-13, 2023. eScience 2023 welcomes proposals for workshops to be co-located with the main conference on Monday, October 9 and Tuesday, October 10, 2023. The eScience conference has a long history of hosting well-attended workshops broadly related to eScience and co-located with the main conference. These workshops share the goal of bringing together international and interdisciplinary research communities, developers, and users of eScience applications and enabling IT technologies. Workshops play a crucial role in the conference by providing an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present their work in a more focused way than the conference itself and to have in-depth discussions of particular topics of interest to the community. Workshops may be focused on any eScience-related topic including, but not limited to interdisciplinary and translational research, continuum computing infrastructures, data science, sustainability, and education. eScience 2023 invites authors of workshop proposals to consider a diverse group of organizers, paper reviewers, and keynote speakers in terms of race/ethnicity, gender, and geographic areas. eScience 2023 accepts two types of workshop proposals: (1) workshops with peer-reviewed papers and proceedings, and (2) workshops or mini-symposia with invited talks and no proceedings. Workshops with peer-reviewed papers and proceedings The proceedings of workshops with peer-reviewed papers will be included in the eScience 2023 proceedings to be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, USA and made available online through the IEEE Digital Library, if the following criteria are followed: • The solicitation for papers must be open. • All the papers must be peer-reviewed by a qualified Program Committee. • The workshops Program Committee must have an appropriate size for the expected number of submissions. • The workshop proceedings must have at least 4 papers at a length of at least 6 pages and no longer than 10 pages (including figure, tables, and citations) in the IEEE conference format. • For each paper selected for publication, at least one of the authors must be registered to eScience 2023 to present the paper in person. Workshop organizers are responsible for establishing a Program Committee and a paper submission system, collecting and evaluating submissions, notifying authors of acceptance or rejection in due time, ensuring a transparent and fair selection process, organizing selected papers into sessions, and assigning session chairs. Proposals showing clear focus and objectives in areas of emerging or developing interest will be prioritized. Workshop proposals should be submitted via email to workshops(a)escience-conference.org and not exceed 5 pages in length. Proposals should include the following information: • Workshop name and acronym. • Workshop description, including its focus and goals (max. 500 words). • Names and affiliations of the organizers and tentative composition of the committee (we invite the authors of the proposal to consider a diverse group of organizers and committee members in terms of e.g., race, ethnicity, gender, geographic areas, etc.). • Expected number of submissions/accepted papers. • Prior history of this workshop, if any. Workshops or mini-symposia with invited talks and no proceedings Workshop organizers are responsible for inviting the speakers, establishing a program in due time, organizing the selected talks into sessions, and assigning session chairs. Proposals gathering experts in areas of emerging or developing interest will be prioritized. Each speaker must be registered to eScience 2023 to present in a session. Workshop proposals should be submitted via email to workshops(a)escience-conference.org and not exceed 5 pages in length. Proposals for workshops or mini-symposia with invited talks only should include the following information: • Workshop name and acronym • Workshop description (including its focus and goals) (max. 500 words) • Names and affiliations of the organizers • Expected number of talks and their length • Tentative list of speakers and talk titles • Prior history of this workshop, if any KEY DATES • Workshop Submissions due: Friday, February 10, 2023 (AoE) • Workshop Acceptance Notification: Friday, February 24, 2023 • All Camera-ready Submissions due: Friday, July 21, 2023 • Final list of talks / agenda for no-proceedings workshops: Friday, July 21, 2023 CONTACT INFORMATION Workshop Chairs (contact: workshops(a)escience-conference.org) • Iraklis Klampanos, National Centre for Scientific Research “Demokritos”, Greece • Fred Suter, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA ORGANISATION General Chair • George Angelos Papadopoulos, University of Cyprus, Cyprus Technical Program Co-Chairs • Rafael Ferreira da Silva, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA • Rosa Filgueira, University of St Andrews, UK Organisation Committee https://www.escience-conference.org/2023/organizers Steering Committee https://www.escience-conference.org/about/#steering-committee
