Niche climate news sites and the changing context of covering catastrophe
One of the most significant and understudied changes in climate journalism in recent years, and the focus us this study, is the establishment of new niche sites. These sites, which are dedicated exclusively to covering climate-related issues, are now some of the most important sources of climate information. Drawing on interviews with site founders and editors, we explore the experiences and knowledge of these climate journalism innovators to gle…
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once: Apprehending the Climate Crisis
The major challenge for us as communication researchers is to recognize and center climate change in the choices we make as scholars and educators, and to normalize ways of talking about climate change
The Journalism in Climate Change Websites: Their Distinct Forms of Specialism, Content, and Role Perceptions
Survey results from news consumers around the world suggest that specialist or niche websites covering climate change are now one of the most important sources of climate information. However, there is very little detailed scholarship about these sites. We carried out semi-structured interviews with senior representatives of 14 online information sites, based in the United States, United Kingdom and other countries, which prioritize the provision…
Studying Youth Online Political Expression: Empirical Findings and Methodological Considerations
We are living through a highly politicized time, with deep divisions foregrounding the significance and importance of political expression and dialogue. Youth have been at the forefront of these important conversations, in both academic research and in the popular press. On the one hand, we are seeing a resurgence of activism and engagement among youth (Bond, Chenoweth & Pressman 2018; Deal 2019), who are using online platforms to express themsel…
News Flashpoints: Networked Journalism and Waves of Coverage of Social Problems
In this article, we propose to study news flashpoints. Flashpoints are bursts of news attention that are unique to the networked news environment, in which various forces vie to influence public discourse, blurring traditional boundaries between journalists, publics, activists, and various other forms of strategic communication. They are sudden and brief periods when interest in specific topics rises and falls rapidly across networked journalism.…

Coming to terms with dysfunctional hybridity: A conversation with Andrew Chadwick on the challenges to liberal democracy in the second-wave networked era
Andrew Chadwick’s view of today’s “hybrid media system,” as outlined first in his 2013 book of the same name, has moved scholars to understand how changes in politics are linked to changes in communication infrastructures and tools and to the ways people negotiate power in the networked media environment. His work has provided readers with a blueprint to follow that moves focus beyond the usual categories of media and the usual sites of power. In…
Covid19 and the Media Introductory Note
All of the authors who have contributed to this issue on COVID19 and the Media have stepped out of the rush of change, if only for a 2000-word moment, to look into a corner of the mediated pandemic and grapple with the significance of what's happening in our field, our societies, our lives. We appreciate their insights, and hope you do too
Beyond the boundaries of science: Resistance to misinformation by scientist citizens
In November 2016, small groups of coders, climate scientists, scholars, journalists, and activists came together under the umbrella organization Environmental Data & Governance Initiative (EDGI) to defend against the Trump administration's attacks on environmental protections. A distinguishing feature of EDGI, and the focus of this study, is the methods it has developed to combat propaganda and misinformation around science. This article analyzes…

Tell Sabi Abyad, Syria: An Interpretation of Stable Isotope Values of Faunal Bone Collagen
At Tell Sabi Abyad, Syria, radiocarbon dating previously provided a robust chronology for the 7th–early 6th millennium BC, the Late Neolithic. The continuous inhabitation spans the 8.2 ka climate event. This chronology has been used here in a study of stable isotope ( 13 C and 15 N) data of animal bones. This is the first isotope study undertaken on material from this area. The results are used to explore diet and therefore animal management prac…
Chiefs as Critical Partners for Decentralized Governance of Fisheries: An Analysis of Co-Management Case Studies in Malawi
Centralized regulation and fisheries co-management institutions, when imposed on Malawian fisherfolk, have failed due to poor local legitimacy, resulting in de facto open access regimes for most Malawian fisheries. Case studies from a range of locations indicate that a key to success or failure in co-management lies in understanding the roles played by both traditional (chiefs) and representational (stakeholder) institutions. Formally instituted,…
Tell Sabi Abyad, Syria: Radiocarbon Chronology, Cultural Change, and the 8.2 ka Event
At Tell Sabi Abyad, Syria, we obtained a robust chronology for the 7th to early 6th millennium BC, the Late Neolithic. The chronology was obtained using a large set of radiocarbon dates, analyzed by Bayesian statistics. Cultural changes observed at ~6200 BC are coeval with the 8.2 ka climate event. The inhabitation remained continuous

Covering music file-sharing and the future of innovation
This paper explores the coverage of file–sharing from before the RIAA/Napster trial of 2000, drawing on interviews with journalists from the New York Times, Wired, Salon and the Los Angeles Times and on analysis of their stories and columns of opinion. It argues the file–sharing story saw “establishment” journalists unapologetically move away from long–established norms of journalism — by relying on alternative sources and by frankly including th…
Myth and the Zapatista movement: Exploring a network identity
Mexico’s Zapatista movement was one of the first to use the internet to propel a local struggle onto an international stage. In so doing it originated a new kind of social movement, one that pushes beyond group identities around which social movements have traditionally organized and into the realm of network identity. This analysis of Zapatista websites and listservs examines the ways several key myths - of a universal Marcos, of noble savages a…

The Zapatistas Online: Shifting the Discourse of Globalization
This study examines the complex and contradictory dynamic of localization and globalization as they are manifest in online postings created by Zapatista supporters in Mexico. The aim is to develop an understanding of the dimensions of the Internet that contribute to its efficacy as a tool in grassroots globalization. Online newsgroup postings and websites created by Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) supporters are examined here in term…
Chiapas and the new news: Internet and newspaper coverage of a broken cease-fire
On 1 January 1994 the Zapatista Army of National Liberation took control of the main municipalities in Chiapas, Mexico. During this initial uprising, the commercial media overwhelmingly refused to reproduce Zapatista communiqués. In an attempt to remedy the situation, Zapatista supporters began to send them out over computer networks and in so doing catapulted news of the movement onto headlines around the world. While many are celebrating the ne…
