Hello friends, I don't believe this has circulated on Air-L yet: Deen Freelon and I will be editing a special issue of Political Communication focused on Disinformation. Deadline for paper submission is OCTOBER 1. See the full call here: http://explore.tandfonline.com/cfp/ah/upcp-si-fake-news-1q2018?utm_source=CP... Just a summary of the details: We seek papers that explore disinformation as a political phenomenon in accordance with the preceding, whether digital or not. Quantitative, qualitative, conceptual, and methodological submissions are all welcome, but all should make a substantial contribution to theory. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): - Disinformation and information automation (e.g., disinformation-spreading bots) - Disinformation in comparative perspective - Disinformation in the hybrid media system and attention economy - Effects and consequences of disinformation - Historical perspectives on disinformation - Individual differences in susceptibility to disinformation - Theorizing disinformation - Typologizing disinformation: Understanding differences between state-sponsored, corporate, domestic, and transnational disinformation Looking forward to seeing the submissions!
