The growing mediatization of everyday life has led to the emergence of new forms of social movements and political contestation. While this trend can be examined meaningfully through the lenses of traditional political, journalistic, and activist cultures, there is something about the distinct combination of communicative action and affective labor that carries uniquely transformative implications (Castells 2015). Whereas popular, individualized articulations of affective empowerment, and personal politics have been criticized for their lack of bearing on material realities (Barnard 2016b), alternative forms of expression on social media appear to have much deeper resonance with political and activist cultures, and therefore much greater chances at contributing to social change. Nevertheless, collective identity and collective action, supported through active engagement with networked technologies, are requisite characteristics of new social movements. Whether on the ground, on Twitter, or both, participants in the #Ferguson protests expressed feelings of outrage against major social institutions—namely the criminal justice system and the mainstream media. This paper will examine the role that citizen journo-activists play in the transformation of political and journalistic cultures. As a hybrid, journo-activist space, tweeting #Ferguson quickly emerged as an effective way for interested actors to network and spread their message. Similarly, many networked journalists—increasingly referred to as “j-tweeters” (Hedman 2015)—have taken to Twitter to collect and share information about the events in Ferguson. Using a combination of digital ethnography and content analysis of tweets from #Ferguson, this study examines journalistic and activist uses of Twitter as well as the correspondent implications for changes in field relations and practices. Given the growing convergence of these two fields, as well as their concurrent practices, this case study provides unique insights about the role of digital media in efforts aiming to share information and bolster social change.

The shooting of Michael Brown by a police officer cued an intense reaction from citizens, officials, and activists. Guided by the theory of indexing during “event-driven” news and the literature on protest coverage, this paper investigates the voices in the news following Brown’s shooting. A content analysis of five newspapers during the first cycle of protests analyzed three aspects of the media coverage of Ferguson. First, we assessed the reliance on official and nonofficial sources in the content published. Second, we tested the relationship between official and nonofficial sources to episodic or thematic coverage. Third, we tested the relationship between sources and the frames of the “protest paradigm,” a pattern of coverage emphasizing violence and deviant behavior. Findings reveal that nonofficial sources dominated the coverage after the shooting. But such sources challenged neither the episodic nature of the coverage nor negative portrayal of protestors. Therefore, our unique linking of the theory of indexing and protest coverage literature reveals that the nonofficial sources’ access is not enough to deter “protest paradigm” coverage. Frames emphasizing violence and clashes with the police were overwhelmingly more present than those emphasizing protestors’ grievances and demands. Our findings also reveal that frames emphasizing deviance prevailed more in the local newspaper than in national outlets. Overall, the predominance of nonofficial sources was not accompanied by thematic stories and critical viewpoints.

The 2016 US presidential race is on. Social media and news are dominated by the political candidates and issues to be addressed by both Republicans and Democrats. Which political party is leading the race in the media? This brief report is an analysis of mentions of the Republican party and the Democratic party in social media and major news sources. It's likely no surprise, which party is most mentioned over a one-month period and who is trumping the mentions. This report includes an analysis of the number of mentions, by media source, the trends, the top keywords, the top hashtags on Twitter, and top re-tweets,

Presented at LOEX 2013 in Nashville, TN. Librarians struggle to teach information literacy skills to first-year students in courses without a research component. Without a need to know how to consume information, students can disengage from learning. Using news as the frame for IL instruction is a solution. News media outlets have significant power in society. As Masterman (1985) wrote in Teaching the Media, “the media tells us what is important and what is trivial by what they take note of and what they ignore, by what is amplified and what is muted or omitted.” As news media are pervasive institutions concretely entwined with everyday life and require critical analysis for responsible engagement, the news makes for a prodigious frame in which to teach information literacy.

In an election year, the rights of the Canadian public to access political information at both a local and national level rise to the fore. Unfortunately, access to information is currently contested, as emerging technologies are challenged for their ability to take the place of declining local newspapers and television broadcasters. This project examines whether Twitter is effective at providing locally-relevant political information during election time. Specifically it looks at whether small communities underserved by traditional media can use Twitter to access political information that is relevant to them, or if in contrast, the information available through Twitter is only relevant on a national level.

Though political theorists have emphasized the importance of political discussion in non-political spaces, past study of online political discussion has focused on primarily political websites. Using a random sample from Blogger.com, we find that 25% of all political posts are from blogs that post about politics less than 20% of the time, because the vast majority of blogs post about politics some of the time but infrequently. Far from being taboo topics in those nonpolitical blogs, political posts got slightly more comments than non-political posts in those same blogs, and the comments overwhelmingly engage the political topics of the post, mostly agreeing but frequently disagreeing as well. We argue that non-political spaces devoted primarily to personal diaries, hobbies, and other topics represent a substantial place of online political discussion and should be a site for further study.

Assignment Overview All organizations have internal politics. However, most organizations keep their political battles private and it is rare that the public will know the details about political intrigue within the major corporations. However, Hewlett-Packard (HP) is rare in that its political battles were waged publicly. HP will make for an ideal case study both because of the intense political behavior occurring at the top and because many articles have been written about these political battles. HP has been through five CEOs since 2005, and each change of CEO has been controversial. The drama started in 2005 when then CEO Carly Fiorina was under attack from several members of HP’s Board of Directors. Some board members even took the dispute public by leaking information to the press. Fiorina fought back by investigating the leaks, but ultimately lost the battle and was ousted as CEO. Her replacement, Patricia Dunn, continued to investigate leaks by the board through the use of private investigators. Even more controversy emerged when it was discovered that the investigators used the method of “pretexting” in order to obtain phone records of board members. Case Assignment For this assignment, make sure to first carefully review the background materials regarding the causes of political behavior, types of political behavior, and the ethics of political behavior. Examples of the causes of political behavior include competition for resources, ambiguous organizational goals, lack of trust, and performance factors. Examples of types of political behavior include blaming others, selectively distributing information, managing impressions, and forming coalitions. Regarding ethics, consider the three main factors: Does the political action violate individual rights? Does it improve the welfare of those involved? Does it increase distributive justice? Review the background materials and do some research on the political dramas at HP. There is a lot written about HP’s many dramas over the years; here are some articles to get you started: Pearlstein, S. (2011, Sep 25). How HP, Silicon Valley's darling, became a soap opera. The Washington Post Veverka, M. (2011). The soap opera at HP continues. Barron's, 91 (39), 25. Kessler, M. (2006, Sep 08). Controversial HP probe started under Fiorina; stock falls as board continues public feud. USA Today [ProQuest] Harwell, D. & Paquette, D. (2015, Sep 27). Fiorina's divisive legacy. Washington Post. [EBSCOhost] Once you have finished reviewing the background materials and have completed your research on HP’s internal politics, write a 4- to 5-page paper addressing the following issues: What individual and organizational factors of HP and its senior leaders led to the intense political behavior? Refer to some of the specific factors discussed on pages 877-883 of Robbins (1997) that you think apply the most to HP in this situation. What types of political behaviors did HP’s board members and.

• POL201 • Discussions • Week 5 - Discussion Voter and Voter Turnout Prepare: Prior to completing this discussion question, review Chapters 10, 11, and 12 in American Government and review Week Five Instructor Guidance. Also read the following articles: How Voter ID Laws Are Being Used to Disenfranchise Minorities and the Poor (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., Fraught with Fraud (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., and Proof at the Polls (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. Reflect: The U.S. has one of the lowest voter turnout rates among modern democratic political systems. One study ranks the U.S. 120th on a list of 169 nations compared on voter turnout (Pintor, Gratschew, & Sullivan, 2002). During the last decade, many initiatives have been undertaken to increase voter participation, yet concerns about the possibility of election fraud have also increased. Additionally, some political interests feel threatened by the increase in turnout among some traditionally low-turnout ethnic minorities. Several states have recently passed legislation imposing new registration and identification requirements. This has sparked debate about whether these are tactics intended to suppress turnout or to prevent fraud. Think about the media’s role in the election process and how both mass media and social media can impact the election process. Write: In your initial post, summarize recent developments in several states enacting voter ID laws. Analyze and describe the pros and cons on both sides of the debate about these laws. Is voter fraud a major problem for our democracy or are some groups trying to make it harder for some segments of society to vote? What impact has the media (mass and social) had in influencing public opinion regarding voter ID laws? Draw your own conclusion about the debate over voter ID laws and justify your conclusions with facts and persuasive reasoning. Fully respond to all parts of the prompt and write your response in your own words. Your initial post must be at least 300 words. Support your position with at least two of the assigned resources required for this discussion, and/or peer reviewed scholarly sources obtained through the AU Library databases.

Why the Electoral College Is Bad for America G Terry Madonna. Presidential Studies Quarterly; Washington35.2 (Jun 2005): 411-412. Why the Electoral College Is Bad for America. By George C. Edwards III. New Haven, CT and London: Yale University Press, 2004. 198 pp. Why the Electoral College Is Bad for America is a splendidly and clearly written primer on the origins, history, and complexity of the electoral college system. But George Edwards is out for bigger game-namely, the dissolution of the electoral college and its replacement with direct election. His main argument is that the electoral college is fundamentally at odds with the principles of political equality and majority rule. Edwards makes the case that the electoral college may be unique as an instrument to select a chief executive, but its continued existence cannot be justified, in large part because the mechanisms of the electoral college at various points through its operation can defy the will of the people. In order to make his argument, Edwards tackles the debates and activities of the Founders at the 1787 Constitutional Convention, contending that the Framers backed into the electoral college by necessity because of the need to deal with certain practical realities. Moreover, the final product was not the result of a well-designed or systematically thought-out presidential selection system. Critics of the Edwards case surely would point out that the thrust of the entire convention debate was to qualify or modify popular majorities and to enshrine limitations on the scope of the national government. Even so, notwithstanding those who might quibble with this analysis, Edwards's most compelling point is that the Founders' considerations are not relevant today: presidents simply are no longer selected by Congress, state legislatures, or electors. Another part of Edwards's attack deals with the notion that the electoral college protects the interests of small states and minorities, and it preserves federalism. He argues that these three conventional rationales for the electoral college are not rooted in the arguments made by the Founders most involved in its design, and they do not operate today in the manner their supporters say they do: small states have little community interest other than their size, minorities are not concentrated solely in large or even competitive states, and the selection of the president bears no relationship to federalism in terms of its function or structure. Edwards gives short shrift to those defenders of the electoral college who hold firm in the belief that the current electoral system stands as an important bulwark against the increasing centralization of power in the federal government. The argument is that the general ticket or unit rule, mostly referred to as the winner-take-all principle, implemented during the Jacksonian era in particular works to enlarge the power of the states in presidential elections, and is a vital element in defense of.

The next step in the course project is to develop a script that you will use to record the narration for your presentation. Include headings for the slide number. Your final presentation should have 5-8 slides (not including title slide, conclusion slide, or references slide). Here are a few tips: Address all requirements for the content. Balance the amount of content for each slide. If there is too much content on one slide, try to break it up into two slides or consider where you can be more concise with your wording. Include citations where needed (e.g., quoted material and paraphrased/summarized ideas from a source that are not common knowledge). Note: When you get to the recording phase - you will need to read your in-text citations aloud, but you do not need to read your references slide. Looking Ahead Practice reading their script now so that you will be ready to record by Week 8. You may use PowerPoint or another method (mp4 file) approved by your instructor. Writing Requirements (APA format) Length: minimum of 3 pages (not including title page or references page) 1-inch margins Double spaced 12-point Times New Roman font Title page References page (minimum of 8 scholarly sources) BASED ON: Hillary Clinton was the only female candidate to governance next to her husband, Bill Clinton. As evident, she was the single lady who got to rule in the 20th and 21st centuries. She wanted to make the United States powerful in the economy, not just politically. She started working on the economy in the earlier days, and then she stepped towards the military gains of the states. This not only worked, but it also created havoc among the nation to have come under the light of a smart lady. The government and the people at first were not willing to believe, but she gained the trust of all. She worked on the affordable care act for the children and helped them dearly. She stood up for women's rights under the violence against women act. Meaning, she stood up for all acts and rights and made sure that they are implemented. As far as being a US senator is concerned, she stood between the war of Russia and the US and made them sign a treaty. She promoted peace, harmony, culture. She was the first lady who stood for the Copenhagen Climate change Accord. All of this not only helped in helping the children, with their lives, education, etc. it helped the country with better people, better economy, better military respondents, peace, and harmonious culture. She is greatly loved and supported by 74% of the world's stats. She has 487.2K followers just on Facebook . Although things are quite positive, there are a few people who won't agree with this. This is mostly because people have different opinions and mindsets, depending on their different personalities. Thus, there are always critiques and opposers available. Due to Hillary Clinton’s majority deeds that were good in their own way, she managed to accomplish the support of the majority.

This report attempts to give a holistic approach to understanding the use of selfies during the US 2016 Primary Elections, taking into account their wider social, cultural, and media contexts. As such this project moves beyond the framing of selfies as a narcissistic practice and highlights instead how they promote “individuality, immediacy, reciprocity, sharing, exchanging, constant updating, work and commitment”.

Running head: MLK PRESCRIPTION SCRIPT 1 MLK PRESCRIPTION SCRIPT 2 Martin Luther King Jr.: A Quest for Peace and Equality Mackenzie Flaws Chamberlain College of Nursing HIST 410N: Contemporary History Spring Session A, 2020 Donald Burnette Martin Luther King Jr.: A Quest for Peace and Equality Title Slide Martin Luther King Jr.: A Quest for Peace and Equality by Mackenzie Flaws. Martin Luther King Jr. played an important role in the civil rights movement during the 1950’s and 1960’s. This presentation will discuss King’s ideas and the impacts he made on social change within America. The Beginning: The Montgomery Bus Boycott MLK was a minister at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church when Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to surrender her seat on a segregated bus to a white man. He was nominated by members of the church to lead the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA) and ended up becoming the chair of MIA (Wilson, 2005). King helped develop the local boycott into a social justice movement that reached international significance while also developing his main idea of nonviolent social change (Carson, 2005). Civil Rights Movement: A Leader for Nonviolence The violent tactics of the white supremacists is what caused King to develop nonviolence resistance as a practical strategy. There are more than a thousand documented violent incidences committed by the white supremacists aimed towards stopping integration from 1956-1966 including burning, bombing, abduction, castration, and murder (Bermanzohn, 2000). King believed that using a nonviolence strategy would force the state to recognize and combat the racist violence that was being enacted upon the African American race (Bermanzohn, 2000). Civil Rights Movement: The Power of Words King is most widely known for his powerful speeches that resonated with everyone who heard him. He would use his speeches to reinforce his ideas for nonviolent social change and quest for equality among all races. I Have a Dream is one of his most famous speeches that was presented at a gathering of 250,000 people at the Washington Monument before the March on Washington. He had a singular goal of expressing the dire need to secure basic civil rights for African Americans. King was the only speaker that ultimately captured the collective conscience of the American people and his words transformed the March on Washington into an unforgettable historic event (Vail, 2000). Birmingham Campaign: The Turning Point “Don’t worry about your children, they’re going to be alright. Don’t hold them back if they want to go to jail. For they are doing a job for not only themselves, but for all of America and for all mankind” (King, 1963, as cited in The Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute, 2020). The Birmingham Campaign was a ...

Assignment Overview The annotated bibliography is a companion to the First Draft: Academic Argument Synthesis Essay assignment. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to help you to evaluate sources and determine what others have said about the topic you're researching. In short, an annotated bibliography helps you get familiar with the ongoing conversation about your topic, which is necessary for eventually writing an informed argument about your topic. When you write an annotated bibliography, you create a list of research sources that you summarize, evaluate, and reflect upon. Building an annotated bibliography while you conduct research allows you to better understand and organize your research. Assignment Guidelines Each source in your annotated bibliography should be a source you synthesize in your First Draft: Academic Argument Synthesis Essay . Each source in your annotated bibliography starts with an MLA citation and then follows a four sentence pattern that 1) identifies the author and his or her credentials as well as his or her thesis, 2) identifies the medium or genre of the source and evaluates its credibility, 3) identifies the intended audience of the source, and 4) explains how the source can be useful in your research project. Step 1: To annotate a source, first cite the source in correct MLA format . For example: Gould, Joseph. Citizen United and the Breakdown of Democracy. New York: University of New York Press, 2012. Step 2: Break down the source into the four sentence pattern : Sentence 1 (Credentials and Thesis ): Joseph Gould, a noted journalist covering issues of public policy and elections for the Washington Post , argues that the Citizens United decision has irrevocably undermined the democratic process of our electoral system. Sentence 2 (Medium / Genre and Evaluation ): Gould constructs a thesis-driven, book-length, academic argument in the field of political science. Sentence 3 (Audience ): Gould’s audience consists of academics in the field of political science and public policy as well as public officials. Sentence 4 (How You Can Use This Source): This source provides information about the effects of Citizens United that I can use to support my thesis, and because it is written by a noted expert it lends credibility to my argument. Annotations should be written as paragraphs and should follow the four sentence pattern above. Do not include labels, bold text, or spaces between sentences. These are provided here so that you can more easily identify the parts of the annotation. Yours will look more like this: Gould, Joseph. Citizen United and the Breakdown of Democracy. New York: University of New York Press, 2012. Joseph Gould, a noted journalist covering issues of public policy and elections for the Washington Post , argues that the Citizens United decision has irrevocably undermined the democratic process of our electoral system.

Case Assignment All organizations have internal politics. However, most organizations keep their political battles private and it is rare that the public will know the details about political intrigue within the major corporations. However, Hewlett-Packard (HP) is rare in that its political battles were waged publicly. HP will make for an ideal case study both because of the intense political behavior occurring at the top and because many articles have been written about these political battles. HP has been through five CEOs since 2005, and each change of CEO has been controversial. The drama started in 2005 when then CEO Carly Fiorina was under attack from several members of HP’s Board of Directors. Some board members even took the dispute public by leaking information to the press. Fiorina fought back by investigating the leaks, but ultimately lost the battle and was ousted as CEO. Her replacement, Patricia Dunn, continued to investigate leaks by the board through the use of private investigators. Even more controversy emerged when it was discovered that the investigators used the method of “pretexting” in order to obtain phone records of board members. For this assignment, make sure to first carefully review the background materials regarding the causes of political behavior, types of political behavior, and the ethics of political behavior. Examples of the causes of political behavior include competition for resources, ambiguous organizational goals, lack of trust, and performance factors. Examples of types of political behavior include blaming others, selectively distributing information, managing impressions, and forming coalitions. Regarding ethics, consider the three main factors: Does the political action violate individual rights? Does it improve the welfare of those involved? Does it increase distributive justice? Review the background materials and do some research on the political dramas at HP. There is a lot written about HP’s many dramas over the years; here are some articles to get you started: Veverka, M. (2011). The soap opera at HP continues. Barron's, 91 (39), 25. Granelli, J. S. (2006, Sep 20). Lockyer probe of HP spying reaches to '05; sources say the inquiry goes back to the ouster of CEO Carly Fiorina, a possible victim. Los Angeles Times [ProQuest] Kessler, M. (2006, Sep 08). Controversial HP probe started under Fiorina; stock falls as board continues public feud. USA Today [ProQuest] Pearlstein, S. (2011, Sep 25). How HP, silicon valley's darling, became a soap opera. The Washington Post Once you have finished reviewing the background materials and have completed your research on HP’s internal politics, write a 4- to 5-page paper addressing the following issues: What individual and organizational factors of HP and its senior leaders led to the intense political behavior? Refer to the background readings in your answer, and in particular, pages 370–372 of the Nair textbook in your answer. What types of political.

Project 2 Media Bias Need 4 pages and all 4 key request needed in paper!!!!! There is no question that the media plays an important role in our political system. For most Americans, the mass media, particularly television, is the most important source of political information. Because of this, the news media has attracted significant attention from scholars of politics and communications, politicians and journalists themselves. Frequently, this attention has come in the form of criticisms of how the media presents the news. The media has been criticized for many possible forms of bias --ideological bias, selection bias and commercial bias. Among the specific criticisms of the press are that its coverage of the news is overly negative, lacking in substance, and driven by crisis. Ideologically speaking, charges of liberal bias are probably the most frequently heard, but many liberals believe that news coverage contains a lot of conservative bias as well. Begin by reading the handout on evaluating the media from Brill’s Content. Brill's Content was a magazine devoted to reporting on the media, especially the news media. This article discusses how to be a critical consumer of news. 1. After reading the Brill’s Content article visit the next two sites. The Media Research Center http://www.mediaresearch.org/ is a conservative organization that maintains that media coverage is biased towards the left.Ensure you have discussed Brill's Content in your paper. 2. The group, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, http://www.fair.org/ , is a liberal watchdog group that holds the opposite opinion. Read what these sites have to offer (briefings, reports, etc.). Which side (AIM or FAIR) has a more convincing argument? AIM http://www.aim.org/ Explain. Again, ensure you discuss in your paper. 3. Now do some investigating of your own. I want you to do some reading or viewing of the mainstream media. Does the coverage that you see/read tend to favor one viewpoint or party over another? Discuss. Do you detect any patterns in what reporters choose to cover and how they report it? Discuss. How do you evaluate the criticisms leveled at the media raised in class or on the websites? How does MONEY play a role in media bias - give me specifics? 4. Respond to these questions by examining articles in several recent issues of one of the major U.S. newsmagazines, Newsweek , Time , or U.S. News and World Report . They all have websites that post articles if you don’t have access to print editions. Alternatively, you may watch the nightly national news broadcasts on any of the major networks for several days. Be sure to discuss specific examples in your paper. Conclude the paper with a discussion of what role you think the media should play in a democracy. Any articles that you quote from or cite in your paper should be included in a bibliography. For examples of how to cite works for your bibliography check out the Center for Academic.

Option 2: Comparing Political Rhetoric According to the Department of Communication at the University of Texas, Arlington, “Political persuasion is hard to analyze because it is so fragmented. We usually see bits and pieces (sound bites, picket signs) on the news. It is not complete; it is not sequential; it has been edited by others and we see it later.” For the second option, you’ll choose a contemporary issue that’s central to the current presidential campaign (e.g., gun rights; immigration policy; health care costs and accessibility; corporate malfeasance; etc.) and choose two relatively short statements regarding that issue made by two different candidates. You can examine the rhetoric of two candidates from the same political party or two candidates from different parties; their statements should be in the form of the brief excerpts we come to identify with the candidates and that get circulated by news outlets and on social media. They can come from written statements; speeches given on the campaign trail or addressing an organization of some kind; interviews; social media posts (or even tweets or a series of tweets) by the candidate or the campaign organization; or other sources of information from the candidates. More obviously, perhaps, than in academic writing, political rhetoric is built on and appeals to complex, competing values among voters. Keep your eyes open as you scroll through your social media feeds, watch late-night television programs, and listen to or watch news programming. Distinguish between statements that are made by the candidates or their campaigns and the many ways those statements can get picked up and redistributed by other sources and outlets (e.g., memes, satirical online media like the Youtube channel Bad Lip Reading, and so on)—you’re looking for official statements by the candidates or statements sanctioned by their campaigns. After selecting your texts, you’ll analyze them from the five perspectives listed above to understand better their rhetorical dimensions, generating several pages of notes that will help you to frame a more specific research question. This option might also require you to do some background research on the issue to contextualize the statements—to understand the exigence that prompted them, for instance, or the leanings of the audience being addressed. Some possible refined research questions might include • How and why do different candidates—that is, different rhetors—try to establish their ethos in the ways they do? What larger values are reflected in the way they construct their ethos? How might that ethos appeal to different constituents? • How do particular instances of political rhetoric invoke different audiences—what “role” is being “set out for them by the writer” (as Andrea Lunsford puts it), and why would an audience be prepared to accept that role? More effective projects will pay attention to and discuss • The specific rhetorical strategies of two specific passages of.
