Media Representations and Diversity in the 100 Years of Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly
The Journal and Mass Communication Quarterly (JMCQ) has documented the struggle members of marginalized groups face in their quest to be treated equally in media content and careers. In this analysis, we note that the journal’s century of articles documents the many historical shifts in the representation and treatment of women and minorities in media settings. Articles emphasize the lack of opportunities for advancement, management issues, and s…
Routledge Companion to Media and Scandal
Scandals, Media, and Citizenship in Contemporary Argentina
This article examines several scandals in 1990s Argentina to discuss the linkages between scandals, media, and citizenship. Suggesting that media publicity is central for scandals to unfold, the article examines a particular arms scandal. An institutional approach that considers the role of different political actors in different scandals shows how and why the media and other institutions contributed to the making and unmaking of scandals. Althou…

The Ties that Still Bind
This paper explores the interaction of the global and the national, beginning with an analysis of the decrease in attention to the impact of global media on Latin American cultures in contemporary political and academic debates. It attributes this decrease to the convergence of three developments: the failure of past experiences with state ownership and control of mass media, optimism about the state of audiovisual industries and cultures, and th…
Investigative journalism and political accountability in South American democracies
A number of recent cases of investigative journalism in the South American news media might lead to a conclusion that U.S‐style professional norms are beginning to characterize that region's press. The present research argues, rather, that there is as yet no consensus among journalists about the ideals that should govern them: South American journalism straddles ambiguous traditions and continues to be mired in cultural contradictions and the pol…
Leviathan dreams
This article examines different forms of state intervention in the history of broadcasting in South America. In contrast to “media imperialism”; positions, it is argued that the analysis of the evolution of broadcasting systems cannot be restricted to the role of international capital. Nor can the development of broadcasting in the region be understood as completely dominated by market mechanisms. On different occasions and for different reasons,…
Television and Election Campaigns in Contemporary Argentina
This article discusses the coming of television to Argentine electoral politics during the last decade. It reviews how political parties and candidates have used television for campaigning. A dynamic and rapidly changing polity chiefly accounts for the fact that television has become a central forum for politicians to go public. The difficulties faced by parties in establishing solid communication channels, the breakdown of partisan identities, a…
Knocking on Newsroom Doors
This article examines the causes for the rise of political scandals in Argentina in the early 1990s. Available explanations fail to provide a satisfactory answer, mainly because they ignore the interplay of forces that produce media revelations of government wrongdoing. Argentine scandals cannot be reduced to arguments about official corruption but rather require a consideration of political and media developments. Media exposés in Argentina have…
