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.
This cultural biography tells the story of Birmingham World editor
Emory O. Jackson. During his 35-year career in Alabama, he waged
numerous sustained civil-rights campaigns for the franchise, equal
educational opportunities, and justice for the victims of police
brutality and bombings. The semiweekly newspaper was central to his
advocacy. Jackson wrote editorials and columns that documented
injustices and urged legislative and legal action in an effort to
secure civil rights for Black Alabamians. His body of work,
grounded in protest and passion, was part of the long tradition of
the Black Press as an instrument to agitate for social and
political change. Jackson also was a frequent speaker at NAACP
branches, colleges, and churches. He was known as a commanding,
even fiery, speaker who stressed first-class citizenship. Issues
explored in the book demonstrate an assertion of constitutional
rights in post-World War II America and a remarkable resilience.
Editor Emory O. Jackson, the Birmingham World, and the Fight for
Civil Rights in Alabama, 1940-1975 is the first scholarly analysis
of his work and as such contributes to scholarship on the Civil
Rights Movement in Alabama and the nation.
Five years after the first edition of Millennials, News, and Social
Media: Is News Engagement a Thing of the Past? was published, a
focus on the Millennial generation's relationship with news is more
important than ever. This revised and updated book reports the
results of a new survey that reveals changes in news consumption
habits and attitudes while painting a detailed portrait of
Millennials in a news media landscape now dominated by social media
and mobile devices. Generational, racial, ethnic, and gender
differences in news engagement and social media use are examined
and so is the historic presidential election that the oldest and
youngest Millennials experienced. How Millennials voted, the issues
that mattered, and the relationship between their political
identity and news is also explored. The spread of fake news,
attacks on the press, and the need for news literacy are also
discussed. Since the publication of the book's first edition,
Snapchat and digital subscriptions have emerged and social media
sites have become popular platforms for news. How Millennials have
responded to these changes in the media landscape is also examined.
Finally, recommendations for further improvement of news coverage
of Millennials are proposed. Plus, the book underscores how all
segments of society, including news organizations, journalism
schools, and tech companies, can work toward a more informed and
news literate society, a requirement for viable democracies. This
revised and updated book will appeal to students, scholars,
journalists, and everyone who cares about informed and civically
engaged citizens and a strong democracy.
The rapid adoption of mobile devices has created a new type of
consumer, one who chooses smartphones and tablets over laptops and
desktops, TV and radio, print newspapers, magazines, books, and
landline phones. This new mobile consumer has not just forced
businesses, institutions, governments, and organizations to
innovate with mobile solutions; this new mobile consumer has
upended the news media landscape, challenging news organizations
and journalists to produce news for consumers who have little
resemblance to yesterday's newspaper readers, TV news viewers, and
online news consumers. Based on two national surveys, News for a
Mobile-First Consumer introduces a mobile consumer taxonomy
comprised of three types of mobile consumers: mobile-first, mobile
specialists, and mobile laggards. The demographics of these mobile
consumers as well as their relationship to news and social media
are explored in depth. Social media as a competitor to and platform
for mobile news are also examined, and special attention is devoted
to news apps from the perspective of consumers. News for a
Mobile-First Consumer also provides insight about millennials,
racial and ethnic minorities, and women, who are at the forefront
of the mobile revolution but less engaged with news. To improve
mobile journalism and increase news engagement, "Essentials of
Mobile Journalism" are proposed. As the first book to explore news
and consumers in the mobile sphere, this book is required reading
for scholars and professionals as well as undergraduate and
graduate students enrolled in journalism, communication, strategic
communications, advertising, media and society, marketing, and
technology courses.

Agendamelding: News, Social Media, Audiences, and Civic Community
builds on the premise that people construct civic community from
the information that they seek-as well as the information that
seeks them-to trace the processes by which we mix, or meld, agendas
from various sources into a coherent picture of the civic community
in which we live. Using the presidential elections of 2008, 2012,
and 2016, this book tests a formula that allows us to predict how
potential voters lean towards communities in which they feel
comfortable-for example, Republican, Democratic, or Independent.
These analyses take into account differences in the use of
traditional news media vs. social media among media consumers, as
well as varying levels of press freedom across national
populations.

Why doesn't the Millennial Generation embrace news as its
grandparents' generation did? Who or what is responsible for the
rejection of news by this generation born between the early 1980s
and late 1990s? Is Millennial enthusiasm for social media related
to a lack of affection for news? Is it too late to transform
Millennials into consumers of news? Using never-before-published
survey data on attitudes toward news and social media use as well
as scholarly reports, public opinion polls, news stories, and
observations from journalists, academics, and professionals,
Millennials, News, and Social Media: Is News Engagement a Thing of
the Past? answers these questions and much more - from the rarely
expressed Millennial point of view. Millennials, News, and Social
Media helps us understand the generation that came of age as the
importance of news waned and social media emerged. It offers
insight into which factors will determine whether we will be a
society of news consumers who believe being informed is important
or a nation in which news illiteracy is the norm. Devastating
consequences await the news media, journalism schools, our
democracy, and the everyday lives of individuals if we become a
nation in which news consumers are extinct and being informed of
news is no longer valued. As the first book to explore these
important issues, it will appeal to students, scholars, and
journalists as well as others who care about developing young
people into informed and civically engaged citizens.
