This book sets out cutting-edge new research and examines future prospects on 360-degree video, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) in journalism, analyzing and discussing virtual world experiments from a range of perspectives.
Featuring contributions from a diverse range of scholars, Immersive Journalism as Storytelling highlights both the opportunities and the challenges presented by this form of storytelling. The book discusses how immersive journalism has the potential to reach new audiences, change the way stories are told, and provide more interactivity within the news industry. Aside from generating deeper emotional reactions and global perspectives, the book demonstrates how it can also diversify and upskill the news industry. Further contributions address the challenges, examining how immersive storytelling calls for reassessing issues of journalism ethics and truthfulness, transparency, privacy, manipulation, and surveillance, and questioning what it means to cover reality when a story is told in virtual reality. Chapters are grounded in empirical data such as content analyses and expert interviews, alongside insightful case studies that discuss Euronews, Nonny de la Peña’s Project Syria, and The New York Times’ NYTVR application.
This book is written for journalism teachers, educators, and students, as well as scholars, politicians, lawmakers, and citizens with an interest in emerging technologies for media practice.

Tripodos No. 51 - Special Issue
Deadline: June 30, 2021
Editors: Óscar Mateos-Martín (Ramon Llull University, Spain), Ana Isabel Rodríguez-Iglesias (International University of Catalonia, Spain)
Publication: December 2021
The monographic is looking for contributions that offer epistemological approaches to the fields of conflict, peace, and security studies. The understanding of these phenomena is always mediated by who tells the story and the language used for it. As a result, in every context, there is always a plurality of narratives that are produced by top-down analysis and bottom-up experiences. How these narratives interact, clash, accommodate and influence each other is of utmost importance to make sense of how international interventions and the deployment of security and peace policies are received or confronted at the local level, and in turn, how bottom-up narratives could be integrated and get a central position. This call looks for critical articles –feminist, post-colonial, and/or critical and poststructuralist analysis– that focus on the process of narration and the actors involved in defining the script, as well as on intercultural translations by looking into possibilities of coexistence and tolerance.
Papers should be sent by June 30, 2021. In order to submit original papers, authors must be registered with the journal (www.tripodos.com) as authors.

Interdisciplinary PhD communication conference
Collaborative Research Methodologies
Challenging Dichotomies and Bridging Gaps
Researcher as Collaborator
Doing and Being Together
Collaborative Communication Technologies
Critical Perspectives on Collaboration
The 2021 edition of IPCC – Interdisciplinary PhD Communication Conference, realised by a group of young scholars within the PhD in Communication Program at Istanbul Bilgi University, Turkey, will be held online on 7-8 May 2021 under the theme “Collaborations“. Participants will be expected to provide 15-minute presentations, followed by roundtable discussions, which encourage further inquiry into the related topics of discussion, with the audience and fellow presenters. In line with the mission of the PhD in Communication Program of Istanbul Bilgi University, IPCC prioritises solidarity. Thus, the conference promotes a platform for the co-creation of knowledge, facilitated by free-form discussion sessions.
All PhD students or candidates, as well as early career researchers with PhDs earned in the last 5 years, who are interested in examining, expressing and exploring the current and possible implications of collaborations within their field of interest, are welcome to submit their proposal and join the discussion. Contributions may include but are not limited to the topics provided.
How are we attentive to collaborations?
In a time marked by biological, political, social and economic crises, the IPCC shifts its focus towards practices of solidarity, of labouring together and building new communities within the scope of communication and beyond.
Acknowledging that it is a period of “necessary interdependence” (Kenneth Bruffee, 1999) we are living in, IPCC 2021 calls for participation to discuss new ways to diversify research methodologies, communication techniques, co-authorship practices, shared dialogical spaces and the public value of research. As the paradigms upon which scientific knowledge and inquiry is built are constantly shifting, the conference also aims to question the implications of collaboration for the transformative process of constructing self as a researcher. Furthermore, the new opportunities that have arisen following the increased use of online communication tools sensitizes us to consider collaboration from new perspectives.
In order to reach out beyond the confines of academia and build on the legacy of the previous two IPCC conferences on rethinking methodologies and intersectionalities within the scholarly endeavour of communication, the necessity of challenging dichotomies among theory and practice, natural and social sciences, intellectuals and the public, and producers and audiences is emphasised. By offering to expand horizons towards including diverse voices and involving non-academic research agents as a means to redefine scholarship, a “community of inquiry” is favoured against a Cartesian model of science. This is a space that promotes and celebrates all forms of collaboration, be it based on distance or proximity.
How can you apply?
Kindly send your submissions to ipcc@bilgi.edu.tr with an extended abstract of 500-750 words and a bio of 100 words by Monday, 1 March 2021.
Panel submissions with 3-4 paper presentations are accepted. Panel organisers are kindly asked to submit the panel title with a 500-750 words panel rationale followed by 150 words abstract of each paper presentation and short bios of the participants. Discussants can also be identified with a short bio by Monday, 1 March 2021.
Submissions for roundtable discussions are also encouraged. You can send your topic or questions for the roundtable discussion along with a 400-500 words rationale and a 100 words short bio of yourself by Monday, 1 March 2021.
Submissions will be notified via email by April.

Deadline: February 15, 2021
Call for Book Chapters
We invite submission of chapters, especially case studies and campaigns analysis on Non-Profit Communication. The proposals should be in a form of an extended abstract of 1000 to 2000 words.
Why a new book?
The interest in civil society organizations present in multiple disciplines, such as sociology, political sciences, management, international law or marketing, is accompanied by different technical, hermeneutical and critical approaches. However, there is no handbook that can provide an overview of the multiple and complex approaches in the non-profit field at micro, meso and macro level. This handbook brings together multiple and multi-disciplinary perspectives and provides an outline throughout critical, structural, strategic approaches, besides debating the new challenges, case studies and recent trends on this social and communicational phenomenon.
Topics
The Routledge Handbook of Non-Profit Communication (NPC) aim is to set out a comprehensive review of research in the NPO communication field. We especially welcome chapters on:
Editors
Gisela Gonçalves, University of Beira Interior, Portugal

Deadline (EXTENDED): March 31, 2021
Literary photobooks are frequently described as paradigmatic cases of intermediality. Authors have defined intermediality as “intertextuality that transgresses media borders” and “intermodal relations in media”. In literary photobooks, at least two systems are densely related – the verbal system and photography. The word seems to be linked to the photographic image through a bidirectional interaction, involving mutually modulatory influences connecting word and photographic image. They create a coupled system that can be described as a new system, or a new genre. Designed and produced since the end of the 19th century, this kind of multimodal experiment (or literary intermedia genre), has attracted writers, photographers and designers, from several literary and artistic domains. In the last decades this phenomenon has become more and more popular, as witnessed by anthologies and book series in many publishers’ catalogues. The technological development of editing processes and digital printing, with smaller and cheaper print houses, the emergence of independent publishers using new distribution channels, including online networks, contributed to the rise and consolidation of the photobook as a significant contemporary genre. The purpose of this special issue is to bring together experts from different fields of research (literary history and criticism, photography, semiotics, media studies, intermedia and multimodality studies), interested in the photobook as a specific literary genre.
Possible topics may include, but are not limited to:
DEADLINE: Article submissions will be due on March 31, 2021, with notifications of acceptance by June 1, 2021. Issue editors: Ana Luiza Fernandes (PUC-Rio, Brazil), Karl Erik Schollhammer (PUC-Rio, Brazil) e João Queiroz (UFJF, Brazil).
MATLIT: Materialities of Literature is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal published by Coimbra University Press and the Centre for Portuguese Literature at the University of Coimbra (Portugal).
