The discourse of deservingness: Racialized framing during rumored ICE raids
On February 12–14th, 2017, there were rumors of an ICE raid in the small East Texas city of Hometown. Reports that ICE was present circulated on social media platforms and radio stations in the area. Consequently, the Latinx community had high anxiety and fear of deportation and looked to the Spanish speaking radio DJs for information and advice. In this paper, we argue that heighten threats of deportation can accentuate divisions among the Latin…
Discrimination and Black Social Media Use: Sites of Oppression and Expression
The authors investigate the association between self-reported experiences of discrimination and social media use among Black American adults.

Globally, the unusual conditions of the pandemic-unlike other crises-have impacted almost every facet of our l…
Covid Compatibility and Risk Negotiation in Online Dating during the Covid-19 Pandemic

We use literature on risk and health behaviors to generate four frames for dealing with risk associated with COVID-19 while dating: 1) Unconcerned about Risk, 2) Preliminary Risk Assessment, 3) Active Risk Negotiation, and 4) Risk Aversion. Further, we argue that risk perception causes daters to use implicit and explicit communication about he…
Media sociology: A Reappraisal
Media sociology represents an abundance of ideas, theoretical positions, and methods. Media influence our lives as researchers but we are also everyday consumers of the products we study. As this c
