BoJo Club embarks on a journey through communication rituals to unveil the transformative power of reading in book clubs within journalism communities. Transcending disciplinary boundaries, these book clubs reveal themselves as promising communication ecosystems. The case studies are catalogued through the lens of a social constructivist framework and mapped globally. From a book club at a public radio station maintained by an avid reader in Oregon to a community platform in Bogotá created by a journalist that shares Colombian literature, to an environmental book club nurtured by journalists in Madrid, or a New York club focused on history books that challenge censorship, the BoJo Club research reveals echoes of the first literary salons, standing on the shoulders of giants.

By applying distant reading techniques, new patterns emerge that may not be apparent through close reading alone. Understanding reading circles in journalism worldwide, rather than isolated books, offers hidden insights among reading societies.

The BoJo Club collection is built as an open library in a digital catalogue. These books maintain interest beyond their value as literary works. May the power of these readings foster empathy, well-being, and communal bonds?
