Call for papers for the Revista Media & Jornalismo on “Innovation in the media and in the creative industries”

2019-06-03
The call for papers for the journal Media & Jornalismo (Vol. 20, nº 36) on “Innovation in the media and in the creative industries” was opened, with António Granado (NOVA FCSH, ICNOVA), Dora Santos Silva (NOVA FCSH, ICNOVA) and Paulo Nuno Vicente (NOVA FCSH, ICNOVA/iNovaMediaLab) as publishers. October 30th is the submission deadline.

Innovation in the media and in the creative industries, such as advertising, design, cinema and photography, video games and educational entertainment software, has been the subject of study in recent years by both academia and industry. This trend has come as a response to the opportunities and constraints – brought by the emerging creative digital ecosystem. The growing social role of creativity and its economic impact (Howkins, 2001 and Florida, 2002) also imposed the need to rethink media practices as part of creative industries that provide us with symbolic content (Hesmondhalgh, 2007).

This multidisciplinary and convergent context triggers a number of research agendas that need to be revisited: first, the innovation typologies proposed to understand products, processes, positions, and paradigms (Storsul & Krumsvik, 2013; Bleyen et al., 2014; Santos Silva, 2016); second, the available case studies related to innovation and entrepreneurship in the media and in these creative industries; next, the emerging journalistic practices and the reconfiguration of their narrative formats, the repercussion that innovation and creative industries have on the curricula of higher education institutions (Crespo, Foa & Cardoso, 2016). These are just a few examples that illustrate the potential of this comprehensive thematic issue, its diversification and, above all, its timeliness and need for discussion.

In this issue of Media & Jornalismo, dedicated to the theme “Innovation in the Media and in the Creative Industries”, we aim to document and discuss the latest trends and advances in the media and creative industries

We encouragecontributions that focus on:
1. proposals for new innovation typologies in the creative media and industries;
2. essays and analysis on the reconfiguration of relations between the media and other creative industries in a convergent environment;
3. empirical studies on media innovation strategies and creative industries in relation to their products in the fields of television, radio, print and digital media, and their relationship with design, advertising, software industry and new formats;
4. empirical studies on innovation in digital media and emerging technologies;
5. empirical studies on media innovation strategies and creative industries in relation to the developing processes of new narrative forms;
6. empirical studies on media innovation strategies and creative industries in relation to paradigmatic business models and organizational culture(s);
7. empirical studies on media innovation strategies and creative industries particularly stressing online social networks and communication with audiences
KEY DATES:

The CFP ends at 30/10/19.
The issue will be published in April 2020.

Aberta chamada de artigos para a revista Media & Jornalismo sobre “Inovação nos Media e Indústrias Criativas Limítrofes”

2019-06-03
Encontra-se aberta a chamada de artigos para a Revista Media & Jornalismo, dedicada ao tema “Inovação nos Media e Indústrias Criativas Limítrofes”, tendo António Granado (NOVA FCSH, ICNOVA), Dora Santos Silva (NOVA FCSH, ICNOVA) e Paulo Nuno Vicente (NOVA FCSH, ICNOVA/iNovaMediaLab) como editores. 30 de outubro é a data-limite de submissão.

A inovação nos media e nas indústrias criativas como a publicidade, o design e webdesign, o cinema, os videojogos ou o software educacional e de lazer, tem sido nos últimos anos objeto de reflexão quer pela academia quer pela indústria. Essa reflexão acontece em particular como resposta às oportunidades e constrangimentos que o ecossistema digital provocou não só aos projetos nativos digitais, mas sobretudo à indústria considerada “tradicional”. O crescente protagonismo da criatividade como agente de uma economia (Howkins, 2001) e de uma classe (Florida, 2002) impôs também a necessidade de pensar os media e a prática jornalística enquadrados numa indústria criativa fornecedora de conteúdos simbólicos (Hesmondhalgh, 2007).

Este contexto multidisciplinar e convergente desencadeia várias linhas de investigação que necessitam de ser reforçadas: desde logo, as tipologias de inovação propostas para refletir sobre a evolução ao nível dos produtos, dos processos, do posicionamento ou do paradigma (Storsul & Krumsvik, 2013; Bleyen et al., 2014; Santos Silva, 2016); estudos de caso relacionados com inovação e empreendedorismo nos media e nestas indústrias criativas; novas práticas de jornalismo e reconfigurações das suas narrativas; a repercussão que a inovação e as indústrias criativas têm nos curricula das instituições de ensino superior (Crespo, Foa & Cardoso, 2016). São apenas alguns exemplos que ilustram o potencial do tema, a sua diversificação e, acima de tudo, a sua atualidade e necessidade de discussão.

Propomos neste número da Revista Media & Jornalismo, dedicado ao tema “Inovação nos Media e Indústrias Criativas Limítrofes” uma discussão sobre os mais recentes avanços nos media e nas indústrias criativas em Portugal e no resto do mundo, enquadrados numa ótica de “inovação” e investigação aplicada, sem descurar a investigação fundamental, essencial para pensar este fenómeno.

Incentivamos, em particular, contributos que se foquem em:
1. propostas de novas tipologias de inovação nos media e indústrias criativas;
2. reflexões sobre os campos em estudo e enquadramento na sociedade;
3. análises da reconfiguração das relações entre os media e outras indústrias criativas em ambiente de convergência;
4. estudos empíricos sobre estratégias de inovação nos media e indústrias criativas em relação aos seus produtos, nos campos da televisão, da rádio, da imprensa e dos media digitais, e na sua relação com o design, a publicidade, o software e novos formatos;
5. estudos empíricos sobre inovação em media digitais e tecnologias emergentes;
6. estudos empíricos sobre estratégias de inovação nos media e indústrias criativas em relação aos processos, em particular nas novas formas narrativas;
7. estudos empíricos sobre estratégias de inovação nos media e indústrias criativas em relação ao paradigma, em particular novos modelos de negócio e cultura organizacional;
8. estudos empíricos sobre estratégias de inovação nos media e indústrias criativas na componente social, em particular relacionados com as redes sociais e a comunicação com os seus públicos e/ou audiências.
