Over the past year, international and national media have been
full of stories about protest movements and tumultuous social
upheaval from Tunisia to California. But scholars have not yet
fully addressed the connection between these movements and the
media and communication channels through which their messages
spread. Correcting that imbalance, "Mediation and Protest
Movements" explores the nature of the relationship between protest
movements, media representation, and communication strategies and
tactics.
In a series of fascinating essays, contributors to this timely
volume focus on the processes and practices in which contemporary
protesters engage when acting with and through media. Covering both
online and offline contexts as well as mainstream and alternative
media, they consider media environments around the world in all
their complexity. They also provide a broad and comparative
perspective on the ways that protest movements at local and
transnational levels engage in mediation processes and develop
media practices. Bridging the gap between social movement theory
and media and communication studies, "Mediation and Protest
Movements" will serve as an important reference for students and
scholars of the media and social change.
