Public Shame, Gender, and Power
Intimate image abuse, often called “revenge porn,” is a form of sexual exploitation that disproportionately targets women, especially those in public life. This research focuses on a case study of former U.S. Representative Katie Hill, who resigned from Congress after nude photographs of her were published without her consent. Analyzing social media content, this research examines how users framed Hill’s case and constructed meaning. This investi…
Co-opting feminism
While feminism is a heterogeneous and complex ideological perspective, mainstream news media have routinely portrayed it in simplistic terms and as social deviance. Within a context of increasing visibility of public women in the political arena in the United States – many of them self-proclaimed feminists – this study examines and illustrates the ideological struggle for defining ‘feminism’ in mediated discourse. A textual analysis of more than …
Rape, storytelling and social media
This study, using the Mary Kay LeTourneau interview on ABC’s 20/20 television program, investigates how social media coupled with citizens’ voices interact with mainstream media in the telling of a story and the construction of collective memory. Grounded in discourse analysis, this research examines the 20/20 story and accompanying Twitter conversations to understand how dominant and feminist ideologies about gender, rape, sexual violence, sexua…
The spectacle of politics
Despite important inroads, women’s marginalization in the public sphere is still very real. From a feminist theoretical perspective, and informed by Guy Debord’s conceptualization of the society of spectacle, this study examines local and national newspaper coverage of Wendy Davis’s filibuster to block an abortion-restricting bill in the Texas State legislature in 2013. Qualitative and quantitative assessments show that gender was particularly en…
Hillary Clinton’s Benghazi Hearing Coverage
Despite inroads made toward gender equality, research has shown that news coverage of female politicians typically follows gendered lines that disregard women’s competence in political affairs. Grounded in a feminist theoretical framework, this textual analysis examines articles from eight news websites covering then U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 2013 congressional testimony about the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. T…
Cast Aside
This paper examines the role of user-generated content in a traditional news organization during the coverage of the Boston marathon bombings. In-depth interviews were conducted with the journalists who made up the interactive team at the Boston Globe. The interactive team was in charge of the live blog during the week-long coverage of the marathon bombings. The study identifies the perceptions journalists hold of user-generated content during cr…

Public Expressions of Private Sentiments
Ever since the election of the nation's first Black president, there have been strong persistent claims that racism is no longer a problem in the United States. However, there are indicators in society that reveal that the death of racism is just a myth. The emergence of online news readers' comments have allowed the amplification of private sentiments on a public space and this study examines how race is articulated behind an anonymous and uncon…
Spaces For Feminist (Re)Articulations
This discourse analysis explores traditional and feminist articulations of rape in online mediated discourse regarding the sexual attack on CBS journalist Lara Logan in Egypt in February 2011. Examination of 175 stories and links in the top ten news blogs in the United States showed that the blogosphere contested traditional rape narratives that blamed Logan for the attack and conceptualized rape through a more varied means. In doing so, bloggers…
More of the Same Old Story? Women, War, and News in Time Magazine
From a feminist standpoint, this study provides an updated analysis to the age-old subject of women and war reporting. A content analysis of 406 stories from Time magazine explores the intersection of U.S. war reporting and gender in the coverage of the U.S. war in Iraq. Relying on feminist theories, this research dissected the normative method of war coverage to emphasize the reality of women's silence. The results demonstrated that women's pers…
Old Turf, New Neighbors
Online news readers’ comments have been the subject of intense debates in newsrooms across the United States. Caught unexpectedly as hosts of this new public space, journalists are trapped in a conundrum between upholding traditional ideals of providing a space for dialogue for their public but yet at the same time not wanting to create a space for hate in online news readers’ comments sections. This research examines perspectives of 30 journalis…
Mothering and Governing
Media discourse scrutinized Massachusetts' Governor Jane Swift when she bore twins but Governor Sarah Palin's pregnancy garnered different reactions. From a feminist perspective, this research uses articulation theory to examine discursive links and frames in news coverage of Swift and Palin as governors and mothers—both of whom were members of the Republican Party and proponents of heterosexual marriage. Articulations vilified Swift's parenting …
