Revista CS Journal School of Law and Social Sciences Call for papers - Issue No. 22 Journalism, media and agendas, towards self-managed citizenships? Guest Editors: Marcelo Franco – mgfranco@icesi.edu.co & Mauricio Guerrero Caicedo – mauriciokempes@gmail.com Deadline for submissions: march 10, 2017 New deadline: march 31, 2017 Journalism, through the simultaneous coexistence of traditional media and new digital channels of distribution/participation, attempts to re-invent itself as a mechanism for setting agendas and debates. What was once considered a profession, whose excellence was reached along the empirical path, today faces the challenge of incorporating data engineering and transmedial narratives to extend its existence as a public service. Lives, also, a present with two faces: suspected of collusion with the economic and political powers in some countries, in others it has in its own right the persecution of factors of accumulation and decision. The flag of transparency emerges to occupy the historical place of objectivity, but there is also a clear approximation to the aesthetics of the spectacle to preserve interest and impact. In the aims of opening a space for research and academic analysis on the current and future scope of this progress and counter-progress, the Master in Journalism and the CS Journal of the Icesi University, invite researchers of national and international academic community to contribute to this issue devoted to the topic of Journalism, media and agendas, towards self-managed citizenships?.

Citations within the text should be made following the APA style. To insert a citation in the text, you must reference the author's surname and year of publication, here are some models: Vega (2006) describes changes in the index for each region ... The index changes show regional differences (Vega, 2006). In 2006, the study of Vega index showed variations ... A colon and the page number are added in the case of textual citation, e.g. (Smith, 1990: 60). When the quoted text is less than 40 words long, only quotes are provided, but if the text exceeds this limit, then a separate indented (on both sides) paragraph in font size 11 is provided. To read well is to take great risks.. It is to make vulnerable our identity, our self-possession. . [...] This is how it should be when we take a masterpiece of literature or philosophy, of imagination or doctrine, in our hands. It can take hold of us to such an extent that, for some time, we have fear of ourselves, we acknowledge our own imperfections (Steiner, 1994: 26). To give coauthorship should take into account the number of authors. When two authors are always referenced in their surnames, for example, Perez and Velasquez (2007) or (Perez and Velasquez, 2007). When they are three to five authors will be mentioned in the first citation in the text the names of all the following citations and only the first author is followed by et al. For example, the first citation in the text should appear as follows, War, Espinosa Parra, Hernandez and Lozano (1999) or (Guerra Espinosa Parra, Hernandez and Lozano, 1999). The following citations are presented well, Guerra et al. (1999) or (Guerra et al. 1999). In the case of six or more authors in the first citation and in the following, only appears the first author followed by et al., Allen et al. (2001) or (Allen et al. 2001).
