This special issue will interest scholars who are concerned to inquire how digitalization has changed journalistic news sourcing techniques. The use of reliable sources is one of the most important aspects of journalistic news production. However, when making news, journalists now increasingly use social media, websites, wikis, and online encyclopedias as sources. In today’s 24/7 news cycles, online sources offer a quick, convenient, cheap, and effective way for journalists to gather information on developing stories, and they increasingly also trigger news stories.

But, what are the consequences of online sourcing for professionalism and journalism practice? Do online sources change the power relationship between elite actors and journalists, and lead to tensions? Can all online sources be reliably verified?

For this special issue, we are interested in showcasing research that focuses or is related to one of four aspects of online sourcing in journalism.

First, we ask which online sources are most prominent within journalistic reporting, and/or whether they have replaced more traditional sourcing techniques?
Second, we want to show research that asks why and how journalists use online sources during their daily work and in the newsroom, and how they verify these sources.
Third, we focus on the consequences of online sourcing for audience perceptions of journalism, for example in terms of the credibility of news and journalism.
Fourth, we aim to investigate potential changes in the relationship between journalists and (elite) actors as sources, who now have multiple options to communicate with audiences directly.

We encourage scholars to engage with the above topics with both theoretical and empirical contributions. We also aim to bring together both qualitative and quantitative research, ranging from methods such as ethnographic research, interviewing, to content analysis, big data, survey and experimental designs. We encourage the use of different theoretical approaches to understand online journalistic sourcing techniques (e.g., framing, journalistic role perceptions, storytelling, conceptions of professionalism and the newsroom).

Digital media have come to occupy a central role in the mediation, recording, and remembering of intimate lives: from geolocative traces, romantic relationships on Facebook, private Snapchats, pictures of newborns on Instagram, and hook-ups on Tinder or Grindr, to shared survival stories of assault and sexual violence on Reddit.

Going beyond the logic of connectivity and sharing that dominates much of the research into digital media, Light (2014) has drawn attention to the various ways in which digital media can also operate as sites of disconnection. As digital traces of lives mediated in digital spaces bleed and permeate, echoes of intimacies are regularly resurfaced: untagged photos, archived emails, unfriended people, deleted apps. These traces evidence episodes of disconnection as much as connection.

– What can the study of digital media reveal about disconnections in our intimate lives?
– In what ways do digital media shape both our connections and disconnections?
– What questions are raised about what (or who) we delete and how we remember?
– What is the role of automation in intimate connections and disconnections?

Following the success of the first two Digital Intimacies symposia, held at UQ and hosted by the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH), convened by Amy Dobson, Nic Carah, and Brady Robards, this year we are bringing the event to Melbourne, to be hosted at RMIT by the School of Media and Communication.

The single stream symposium will run for two days, November 13 + 14, 2017. This year, there will be an optional third day (November 15) of collaborative workshops. The idea here is to capture the energy from the symposium and provide space for collaborative work and further discussions.

We are again calling for paper abstracts on the themes of digital media and intimate lives, with particular interest around the theme of connection and disconnection.

Please submit abstracts of 250-300 words to jenny.kennedy@rmit.edu.au <mailto:jenny.kennedy@rmit.edu.au> by June 30, 2017. We will send notifications of acceptances out by mid-July. We are hoping to make this a low-cost event, especially for students, but there may be a small registration fee to cover costs.

Convenors: Jenny Kennedy (RMIT), Brady Robards (Monash), and Tania Lewis (RMIT)

Keynotes: Prof. Kath Albury (Swinburne) and more to be announced

Themes:
a) Identity and mass media
b) Ethical implications of mass media communication

Conference Introduction:

In recent times the world has experienced fundamental and ongoing changes of society on a global scale, such as political isolationism, regional conflicts, and the displacement of refugees and/or immigrants. In this atmosphere of uncertainty, culture has a role to play in reflection, diversification, debate, and even reconciliation in transformation processes and the public sphere of communities. Culture and cultural industries can, and should, act as a platform for discussion, analysis and critique of societal shifts. Through this interdisciplinary conference we seek to address questions of resistance and resilience through the lens of culture, media and creative industries. What does the current economic, social and political climate mean for creative industries? How does cultural policy negotiate changes and unpredictability? What is the role of culture in societal shifts? We invite speakers to consider examples of cultural resilience, the instrumentality of culture for resistance or mediation, and the diversity of perspectives that can be used to frame debate. Cultural Resilience / Resilient Cultures is the fourth annual CMCI conference, following last year’s successful event (In)Visible Cultures. We welcome researchers to engage with questions of resilience and resistance in our society, culture, media and the creative industries, and to share their ideas with the colleagues from around the world in a friendly and stimulating environment.
Highlights include:

Keynote:_ Dr Oli Mould (Lecturer in Human Geography, Department of Geography, Royal Holloway, University of London) – The Seven Ethics of Creative Subversion
CMCI staff round table discussion_, chaired by Dr Sarah Atkinson:
Reflections on Resistance and Resilience from Culture, Media and Creative Industries, with Dr Wing-Fai Leung, Dr Kevin Milburn, Dr Jessica Rapson and Dr Kate McMillan

Panels_:

Media Intertextuality – Globalized Resistance
Creative Industries in Periods of Change
Instrumental Uses of Culture
The Art of Protesting: Cultural and Creative Modes of Activism
Remembering and Forgetting: Resistance Through Memory and Commemoration
Cultural Politics in Identities: Gender, Ethnicity, Diaspora,  Migration and Transnationalism
