Histories of Digital Journalism: A conference exploring the intersections

24-25 June 2022 (Friday-Saturday)
Budapest, Hungary
Keynote Speakers

Laura Ahva (Tampere University)
Call for Papers
Although the shared past of digitization and journalism stretches back at
least to a half-century, digital journalism history is a field still in
formation. Building on the momentum of the recent "historical turn" in
digital media and internet studies, the aim of the conference is to bring
together an interdisciplinary network of scholars to interrogate digital
journalism histories and to start a global critical exchange on various
approaches to and aspects of historicising digital journalism.
As digital journalism has been re-configured by socio-historical
contradictions of communication and complexities of its technological
innovations, journalism scholarship should continuously strive for
enhancing critical exchange to advance studies that intersect with numerous
disciplines, theoretical approaches and methodological traditions. Emphasis
of the conference is on the plurality of histories instead of one single
digital journalism history, acknowledging diachronic as well as synchronic
complexities of social relations, political contingencies, cultural
traditions and power configurations between journalism and digitisation.
Instead of enforcing one great master narrative, the conference aims to
offer a space to embrace the co-existence of parallel, sometimes
complementing, often conflicting historical investigations and narratives.
By aiming to explore the intersections of history, culture, digital
technology and journalism, the conference welcomes papers and panels that
are grounded on diachronic or synchronic explorations of digital journalism
"pasts", while elaborating the relevance of its historical findings for
digital journalism "futures". The conference invites theoretical and
methodological reflections on historicising digital journalism as well as
original single case studies or comparative inquiries into the phenomena
from the decades of the long digital revolution of journalism. The
conference welcomes papers that examine the digital journalism histories of
the global "centers" and we especially encourage inquiries from the
"peripheries" of digital journalism development and scholarship.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- Mythologies of technology: reconsidering "dead" and "new" technologies
in journalism
- Transforming social control in the digitized newsroom: investigating
separation and integration tendencies
- Re-configuring the labour process in digital journalism: between
standardisation and creativity of digital news production
- Digital platforms, tools and practices in journalism: from Teletext,
CD-ROMS and Minitel to www, smartphones and social media
- Changing skillsets in digital journalism: deskilling, reskilling,
upskilling newsworkers
- (Dis)continuities of forms and genres in journalism
- Labour relations of digital journalism: standardisation, precarisation,
entrepreneurialism
- Liquefied identities of digital journalism: boundary work between
"online" and "offline" journalists, "professional" and "citizen"
journalists, journalists and "technologists", "journalists" vs "bloggers"
- Re-inventing journalistic profiles: from "mouse monkeys", "meta
journalists" to "robot journalists"
- Digitized audiences between participation and commodification
- Business models of digital journalism: from legacy media ecosystem to
platform capitalism
- Ethical, legal and regulatory issues of digital journalism: from www to
automation
- Particular online journalistic genres moving online: digital music,
sport, food journalism
