Please post: EJC call for papers: Social Media in News Discourse
Special issue of Electronic Journal of Communication: Social Media in News Discourse Guest Edited by Donald Matheson As professional media producers pay more attention to social media, from personal blog entries and tweets to Facebook updates and YouTube videos, journalists are faced with numerous decisions. Among these are how to integrate personal and often-relationship-focused media with the public and fact-centered discourse of the news. This special issue of the Electronic Journal of Communication invites contributions exploring the conventions that are emerging around the use of social media by news organisations, and the implications of those conventions for public communication. Contributions will have as their central concern whether or not the encounter with social media is changing aspects of news journalism. Deadline for completed manuscripts is November 20, 2010. For the complete call for papers, see http://www.cios.org/www/ejc/calls/socmedia_news.htm.

Dear all, Although I am normally a university researcher and lecturer I am working at the moment with a major publishing group here in the Baltic States on their online presentation strategies. They have explicitly established they won't take the Murdoch route of building paywalls (as do their main competitors here in Estonia), but they are still concerned on how to present their content online so that to gain from their open strategy. With this purpose in mind I am very interested in all existing studies on news media websites - on effective website designs and content presentation strategies, user preferences on news content presentation, etc. That would include also also the well known dilemmas such as text/visuals ratios, preferences for shorter stories/longer stories, appropriate video inclusion, etc. Any studies on alternative business models (that is: not including paywalls or any sort of walling off) for news media are also welcome. Please do not take this as another administrative/commercial research - I quite like their commitment to open strategies and want to help out. Also hoping to develop this into a practical study on developing open business models for news media in general. Many thanks in advance!
