Description
It often happens that collaboration between business, non-profit, health and educational agencies is championed as a powerful strategy to achieve a vision otherwise not possible when independent entities work alone (Gajda, 2004). However, the definition of collaboration is elusive, and it is often difficult for organizations to put collaboration into practice and assess it with certainty.
When it comes to media, creative industries and journalism, collaboration helps actors to face the digital challenges and increase the efficiency and quality of innovation in methods and formats, sustainability, and content exchange. It also raises valuable challenges and concerns, especially to unify criteria, as “alliances are successful when key individuals connect personally and emotionally with the alliance’s social purpose and with one another” (Austin, 2000).
All types of collaborative strategies, challenges and opportunities are considered in this Call for Papers, understanding collaboration in a broad sense: theory, practice and principles. We invite research papers that address collaboration within/outside the media sector, in the same or different markets, cross-border, participatory co-creation, and with the aid of artificial intelligence tools.
