Bathtub Madonnas as Media in an Italian American Neighborhood in Transition
Based on historical research, visual analysis, photographic documentation, and 31 interviews, this article examines Madonna yard shrines constructed by Italian Americans in the 20th century as vernacular media and considers their role in knowledge production, identity representation, and the transmission of history. It discusses the historic meanings and contexts of these shrines, including their emergence during a time of anti-Italian bigotry, w…
Social media and connective journalism
Based on a study of US high school students from predominantly working-class, immigrant backgrounds, this article illustrates how young people used social media to share personal opinions, experiences and news about environmental problems affecting their neighborhood, ultimately helping to change public policy. It reveals how the interpersonal connectivity facilitated by social media can create opportunities for youth voice and collective identit…
Young People and the Future of News
Young People and the Future of News traces the practices that are evolving as young people come to see news increasingly as something shared via social networks and social media rather than produced and circulated solely by professional news organizations. The book introduces the concept of connective journalism, clarifying the role of creating and sharing stories online as a key precursor to collective and connective political action. At the cen…
Hybridity and Authenticity in US Day of the Dead Celebrations
In the 1970s, secular Day of the Dead celebrations were initiated in the United States as a way to communicate messages of Chicano identity. As the US Latino community became more ethnically diverse in the 1980s and 1990s, new Latino populations participated in these public festivities, creating pan-Latino celebrations. At the same time, non-Latinos began to embrace Day of the Dead as an alternative way to remember the departed. The observance of…
With Facebook, Blogs, and Fake News, Teens Reject Journalistic “Objectivity”
This article examines the news behaviors and attitudes of teenagers, an understudied demographic in the research on youth and news media. Based on interviews with 61 racially diverse high school students, it discusses how adolescents become informed about current events and why they prefer certain news formats to others. The results reveal changing ways news information is being accessed, new attitudes about what it means to be informed, and a yo…
I'm neither Here nor There
From disillusion to engagement
Because most high schools that can afford to fund journalism programs are located in middle-class suburbs, the majority of research on teen journalists reflects the experiences of middle-class, predominantly white students. By examining two afterschool journalism programs serving youth from inner-city communities, this article discusses teen journalists who are predominantly low-income and racial minorities, examining their views about journalism…
Race and the News
News coverage of multicultural celebrations has been categorized as stereotypical and apolitical—portraying racial minorities in festive, non-threatening ways that appeal to Anglo audiences without challenging the political system that oppresses people of color. Analyzing 10 years of Martin Luther King Day and Day of the Dead celebration coverage in the Los Angeles Times and the San Francisco Chronicle, this paper concludes that a significant num…
Reframing the runway
This article discusses newspaper coverage of a plan by the Massachusetts Port Authority to construct a new runway that would triple the amount of flights at Boston’s Logan International Airport. The project was supported by the Boston business community, the hospitality and airline industries and the Republican state leadership – who because of their status as elite sources, had the power to create the initial framing of the issue in terms of ‘ec…
