Resistance Advocacy as News: Digital Black Press Covers the Tea
Party examines the Black and mainstream press's digital
interpretations of the Tea Party during President Barack Obama's
first term. The Tea Party narrative and the white ideologies
disseminated by conservative groups was, and continues to be, an
intricate story for journalists to tell. This book tracks coverage
of the Tea Party from the modern group's beginning in early
February of 2009 until two weeks after the 2012 general
presidential election in November. While many mainstream
journalists either fail to recognize, or ignore all together, the
racial component that the Tea Party poses to Black solidarity, this
book shows that Black reporters working for the Black press
absolutely recognize the racial component and provide more thorough
discussions than their mainstream counterparts. Historically, the
Black press has existed to fill holes of misrepresentation in the
mainstream press; to that end, this book addresses questions
surrounding the ongoing necessity of the Black press and whether
our society is "postracial," combining a quantitative analysis of
implicit racial frames with a qualitative analysis of resonant
myth, and providing empirical evidence that Black people still
struggle to have their voices heard in the mainstream press.

Underserved Communities and Digital Discourse: Getting Voices Heard
presents a series of case studies which evaluate the elevation and
suppression of voices within marginalized and minority communities.
It examines the use of digital media and its role in the
construction of reality-specifically who is included, who is left
out, and who feels they must remain silent. Through both
quantitative and qualitative measures, this book discusses digital
discourse in terms of ethnic media, political communication,
ethics, crisis communication, myth, and health frameworks.
