Social Justice Journalism: A Cultural History of Social Movement
Media from Abolition to #womensmarch argues that to better
understand the evolution, impact, and future of digital social
justice media we need to understand their connections to a
venerable print culture of dissent. This cultural history seeks to
deepen and contextualize knowledge about digital activist
journalism by training the lens of social movement theory back on
the nearly forgotten role of eight twentieth-century American
social justice journals in effecting significant social change. The
book deliberately conflates "social movement media" with newer and
broader conceptions of "social justice journalism" to highlight
changing definitions of journalism in the digital era. It uses
framing theory, social movement theory, and theories about the
power of facts and emotion in storytelling to show how social
movement media practice journalism to mobilize collective action
for their cause. After tracing the evolution and functions of each
social justice movement's print culture, each chapter concludes
with a comparison to its online counterparts to illuminate links
with digital media. The book concludes that digital activist
journalism, while in some ways unique, also shares continuities and
commonalities with its print predecessors.
Inez Milholland was the most glamorous suffragist of the 1910s and
a fearless crusader for women's rights. Moving in radical circles,
she agitated for social change in the prewar years, and she
epitomized the independent New Woman of the time. Her death at age
30 while stumping for suffrage in California in 1916 made her the
sole martyr of the American suffrage movement. Her death helped
inspire two years of militant protests by the National Woman's
Party, including the picketing of the White House, which led in
1920 to ratification of the 19th Amendment granting women the right
to vote. Lumsden's study of this colorful and influential figure
restores to history an important link between the homebound women
of the 19th century and the iconoclastic feminists of the 1970s.
