This book is the first ever collection on diasporic screen production in New Zealand. Through contributions by a diverse range of local and international scholars, it identifies the central characteristics, histories, practices and trajectories of screen media made by and/or about migrant and diasporic peoples in New Zealand, including Asians, Pacific Islanders and other communities. It addresses issues pertinent to representation of migrant and diasporic life and experience on screen, and showcases critical dialogues with directors, scriptwriters, producers and other key figures whose work reflects experiences of migration, diaspora and multiculturalism in contemporary New Zealand.
With a foreword by Hamid Naficy, the key theorist of accented cinema, this comprehensive collection addresses essential questions about migrant, multicultural and diasporic screen media, policies of representation, and the new aesthetic styles and production regimes emerging from New Zealand film and TV. Migrant and Diasporic Film and Filmmaking in New Zealand is a touchstone for emerging work concerned with migration, diaspora and multiculturalism in New Zealand’s screen production and practice.

IJFMA is preparing a special issue titled ‘Flow and Archive’ dedicated to Television and to its current challenges
The digital turn has allowed television to be reimagined after the networked computers. Following the telephone and radio, the new paradigm inspiring the future of television are the networked computers, their social networks and the participatory visual culture established on the aftermath of the twentieth century cultural industries. After the liveness and flow, definitional components of television, we are currently offered with DVR-mediated television experiences and collections of short videos which can be uploaded, viewed and shared by the viewer. By becoming searchable and accessible online, television provides a similar experience to the archives and to the video aggregators that entertain the new generations of cellphone viewers. The discussion about the future of television not only makes it worth thinking about its past, the cultural value of its equipments and its most resilient genres, but is certainly an opportunity to analyse how TV journalism is challenged by social networks, and how its public service can be revalued.
IJFMA welcomes papers addressing one or more of the following themes:
Contributions are encouraged from authors with different kinds of expertise and interests in media studies, television and media history.
Abstracts submissions are due by April 30, 2019.
Full papers deadline: May 30, 2019

We are looking for cross-disciplinary work with communication, journalism, business, marketing, health, law politics, policing, cross-cultural research, education and training. We are inviting you to think about where the field has been and where it is can and should go. We would especially invite our practitioners to share their own experiences and best practices so that we can all learn from each other.
Traditional research presentations, panel discussions, demonstrations, and theme discussions will all be welcome. We will provide additional details and guidelines over the next several months.
If you have any questions or feedback about the conference, please contact Dr. Audra Diers-Lawson via email at audra.lawson@leedsbeckett.ac.uk or connect with us in our Facebook group — ‘ECREA Crisis Communication Section’. We have reminders and will post all information there as well.

The cost for the graduate workshop, inclusive of the simulation or social media workshop is £80. This will include lunches, tea, and snacks throughout the day as well as any materials for the workshop.
Pre-conference 2: Simulation Workshop — open to all conference participants. This half-day session will have you experience a crisis simulation, discuss integrating simulations into classroom and training, and recommendations for developing simulations with Dr. Audra Diers-Lawson.

There is also a good bus network in the city of Leeds. We would also recommend either Uber or Amber cabs for taxi — both have apps that you can download to your phones making taxi pick up easy. These are also the least expensive taxi options.
We recommend flying into either Leeds Bradford Airport directly or Manchester Airport. These offer the most convenience to Leeds. Generally, we would recommend against flying into London.
We will post posting more travel information about our official conference hotel and other hotels in the area to help you with your travel planning.
Special Issue of African Journalism Studies
Deadline: May 1, 2019
Guest Editors:
This special issue seeks to provide an update on research about contemporary journalism practices and the evolving nature of journalism and media regulation in Africa. There has been a growing interest in studying journalism and media on the continent and the varying political landscapes in democratic and non-democratic or conflict-torn African countries highlight the need to critically analyse how the processes of media regulation and media policies are evolving in each particular context.
The circumstances for the practice of journalism and media production in Africa have often been debated from representation and ethics-centred perspectives; this special issue aims to gather a range of contributions that complement these studies by further exploring the complexity and range of prevailing regulation and policy matters that implicate and affect journalism practice. By acknowledging examples of emerging regulatory systems, the presence of old problems that may have taken new forms, or new problems that stem from old practices, we aim also to provide comparative insights that bring up to date and further our understanding of how journalism is protected, practised and regulated in Africa.
We welcome submissions that take a theoretically informed approach as well as studies that examine country-specific or comparative case-studies. We invite contributions across different and relevant disciplines, including collaborations between early career scholars. We particularly invite contributions addressing any of the following topics:
Prospective authors should submit an abstract of approximately 250 words by email to the Guest Editors: Idil Osman (io7@soas.ac.uk), Susana Sampaio-Dias (susana.sampaio-dias@port.ac.uk), Judith Townend (judith.townend@sussex.ac.uk) and Hayes Mawindi Mabweazara (hayes.mabweazara@glasgow.ac.uk).
All abstracts will be reviewed by the editors and successful authors will be invited to submit a full manuscript via the African Journalism Studies ‘ScholarOne Manuscripts’ site where they will undergo peer review. The invitation to submit a full article does not guarantee acceptance of the final paper into the special issue.

Special Issue of Information Communication and society
Deadline: May 31, 2019
Published in 2020 (online); 2021 (print)
Edited by Cosimo Marco Scarcelli, Tonny Krijnen and Paul G. Nixon
From Trump’s discourses to the everyday life performances in digital platforms, from representation of LGBTQ+ in TV programs to pornography, the relation between gender, sexuality and media is ubiquitous and strongly embedded in everyday life. The definitions of gender and sexuality are in constant flux with the media playing a key role in shaping, articulating, representing and performing these definitions.
The current, general openness and debate on gender and sexuality is built upon the struggles of many groups and individuals to bring these issues into the mainstream. Issues that have important influences on the ways in which we live our lives and view those of others.
Because of political and cultural changes, questions connected to sexual identity and gender are constantly under attack, whilst opposite tendencies of reconfirming patriarchal scripts and resisting challenging, and redefining these paradigms are simultaneously present.
Considering gender and sexuality as social and cultural construction, this special issue aims to explore issues able to focus on the contemporary social changes that are connected to gender and sexuality in and through media. The articles will be concerned, on the one hand, with exploring aspects of the changing social and sexual landscape, on the other hand, on the ways in which media seem to stubbornly recycle gender and sexual stereotypes. How do these two tendencies relate to one another? How do contemporary gender ideologies influence media perspectives and practices? Do mediated representations reinforce, echo, or challenge social hierarchies based in differences of gender and sexuality? How do new media technologies feed into discourses on gender and sexuality?
Potential papers could explore new researches at the forefront of media and communication practice and theory and the nuances of contemporary sex and gender scripts as they are played out in popular media looking at both the more traditional and normative interpretation of gender and sexuality as well as texts that challenge and therefore move beyond the heteronormative and sexist.
We are looking for contributions that analyse media both in terms of representation and agency and that will be able to reflect different cultural conditions and experiences, contrasting perspectives in terms of analytical orientation, and geographically dynamic subjects.
Possible topics could include:
Please submit your 300 word abstract along with the author’s bio (100 words) and author’s full contact details before 31 May 2019.
Please upload you abstract using this link: https://www.dropbox.com/request/OXDnBkBIewJldq14OZIi

The book provides an empirically based analysis of changes on how various political and denominational actors seek to influence the Church and state relationship, as well as how we understand the idea of the secular state. A set of case studies shows how and why changes in the coverage of the secular state and Church-state relations have followed the dynamics of media logic. By establishing a grounded theory based on media content, legal regulations and political party programs in the years 1989–2015 as well as a current survey, the author throws new light on the theory of mediatization. The book demonstrates that the disseminated idea of the secular state is largely a result of the adaptation of both political and religious representatives to a dynamically changing media logic.
The book has been published in series Studies in Communication and Politics.
Authors: Marco Gui, Tiziano Gerosa, Andrea Garavaglia, Livia Petti, Marco Fasoli
