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.
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.
