> Anthropology News Journalism CFP: Submit Your 300-Word Article  
> Proposal by Dec 18
> Anthropology has long had a complex relationship with news media. In  
> many ways, increasing collaboration between anthropologists and  
> print, broadcast or online journalists offers great potential for  
> making our research more accessible and theoretical perspectives  
> more mainstream, in addition to boosting public understanding of and  
> engagement with anthropological research findings. However,  
> journalistic anthropology and anthropological journalism also pose  
> several key challenges for practitioners in both fields. Among these  
> challenges are the often-cited, but rarely critically engaged,  
> difficulties in balancing the goals, priorities, timelines and  
> communications styles of journalism and anthropology. Less  
> frequently examined, though also important, are the distinct  
> methodological, ethical, theoretical and expository traditions of  
> both fields, which necessarily encounter one another in  
> collaborative work.
>
> With these concerns in mind, we invite submissions for an April 2010  
> Anthropology News issue on anthropology and journalism. We welcome  
> proposals for In Focus commentaries, Teaching Strategies pieces,  
> Field Notes articles, photo essays, news stories and interviews that  
> address the relationship between anthropology and journalism in a  
> variety of ways. For example, why are some anthropological fields  
> (such as archaeology) more frequently included in news media than  
> others? Is it an issue of public interest, awareness or  
> accessibility? How might one relate the investigative methods of  
> anthropologists and journalists? What strategies have  
> anthropologists successfully adopted in pursuing work in print,  
> radio, television and digital news media? Will the increasing  
> popularity of applied anthropology impact our relationship with  
> journalism? Proposals on additional topics are welcome from  
> anthropologists, journalists, publishers, producers and others  
> engaged in these fields.
