News, Neoliberalism, and Miami's Fragmented Urban Space examines
cultural and social forces responsible for inequalities that have
emerged in the rampant development of Miami as a "world city." This
book argues that neoliberal movements rely on the power of
journalistic discourses to authorize and legitimize harmful social
acts such as gentrification. Moses Shumow and Robert E. Gutsche Jr.
provide original analyses of intersections among memory, race,
capitalism, and journalistic power, particularly at a time of
immense political and environmental change. The authors examine
changes in neighborhoods and in public-private developments that
are bound to widen an already-great divide between classes and
races in South Florida.
Mediated Communities brings together a diverse, global cohort of
academics and professional communicators to assess the current
state of democratic mobilizing around the world and the ways in
which protest movements are being transformed in the midst of a
communication revolution. Contributors draw on a variety of
international settings - from Greece to Lebanon, China to Argentina
- to demonstrate the ways in which community organizing in the
digital age relies increasingly on digital media to communicate,
help participants find common ground, and fight for change.
Contributors acknowledge the challenges that lie ahead for creating
real and lasting democratic change, but at the same time are able
to draw attention to the potential that digital media hold for
strengthening citizen voices around the globe.
