Who is Credible (and Where)? Using Virtual Reality to Examine Credibility and Bias of Perceived Race/Ethnicity in Urban/Suburban Environments
This study evaluates perceptions of race/ethnicity in connection to geography of urban/suburban neighborhoods. The study takes place in a region mostly populated by people identifying as Hispanic, which is reflected in the participant demographics. Before answering the survey questions, the study used Virtual Reality to immerse participants into the scene, and to develop a more realistic experience. Results indicated that perceptions of geography…
Climate Change, Media & Culture
The acceleration of global climate change creates a nexus for the examination of power, political rhetoric, science communication, and sustainable development. This book takes an international view of twenty first century environmental communication to critically explore mediated expressions of climate change.
Epilogue
To say Kayleigh McEnany is a rising star would be putting it mildly. In fact, by the time this book is published, she may very well be a household name, like that of Kellyanne Conway, and at select few dinner tables, Anthony “The Mooch” Scaramucci. Though in Scaramucci’s case, his name recognition was short-lived, having been fired as Communications Director by Trump after 10 days at his post after threatening to fire “everyone” under his command…
Power, place, and the spatial dialectic of digital journalism
Chapter 6 shifts to a critical examination of news media and its relationship to social surveillance and control in the spaces and places they serve. We highlight political developments using technology to control, but also focus on the cultural dimensions of shaming and boundary work to shape acceptable behavior and expectations within places. In so doing, this chapter further aligns geographies of journalism with the social justice and critical…
Conclusion
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book presents a conversation of journalism studies about geography as it stands in both traditional and new ways of making news. The imagination is a powerful influence on our social policies, personal interactions, and the practice of journalism, so much so that the daily process of place-making in our own lives and in the most bana…
Who is where?
Chapter 5 sees us extend our thinking around other important concepts such as proximity and distance in the context of place-making given their integral relationship to news values and journalism. We contend that existing scholarship on news proximity tends to bypass one of the most important dimensions of them all – proximity to power (both physical and imagined) in changing physical and digital contexts. Here, we pay particular attention to wha…
The trichotomy of place, space, and territory in digital journalism studies
Chapter 2 highlights the power of territory as a vital yet often overlooked component of the space and place literature in relation to journalism. The trichotomy of place, space, and territory prompts a recalibration between the need for speed and mobility and the careful construction of space and place over time. Through this discussion, the relationship between news media and Facebook and the contestation for political, moral, and social influe…
Demarcating news space(s) in digital news
In Chapter 4, we outline the demarcation of space and news zones. This may seem like we are covering old ground, but the ways spaces and places are constructed have received little attention in journalism studies and so it is important that we build this foundation here. In this chapter, we argue more work is needed to understand the way that journalists demarcate the physical boundaries in which they generate news before territories evolve and b…
News Boundaries of “Fakiness” and the Challenged Authority of the Press
It was summer after whirlwind of Donald Trump&s;s initial months as president. He and his surrogates–rejecting everything related to his predecessor–had come out swinging. They picked fights with reporters, with allies, with Democrats and Republicans. Samar Ali orbit includes liberal-leaning friends, Republicans, immigrants and native born, world travelers and homebodies, city dwellers and rural residents, black and white, Latino and Arab–all of …
Mapping the geographies of journalism
Chapter 1 provides the overview of geography studies in Western contexts over the past several decades. This return to the roots of geographic underpinnings provides a much-needed foundational landscape upon which to build this and other projects that use terms such as “space” and “place” interchangeably or lack a historical context in how geography can be viewed from physical, social, cultural, economic, digital, and media perspectives. These ap…
Symbolic and imaginative
In Chapter 3, we explore the symbolic and “imaginative power of place.” Here, we adopt and merge theories of social space and cultural meaning to equip the professional journalist (and scholars) with the reflexive tools to understand the power of and the power inherent within place-making. We draw on Bourdieu’s notion of symbolic power – the power to construct reality – as a precondition for imaginative power – that is the power to imagine or con…
Geographies of Journalism
The Trump Presidency, Journalism, and Democracy
When Local is National
This study explicates meanings of local journalism when what was traditionally treated as a local issue for local audiences—Miami’s rising seas—was thrust onto a national stage by national press and for wider audiences. Through a textual analysis of local news stories over a period of three years, this paper highlights how local journalists demarcated local and national journalistic boundaries, using national news to legitimize previous local cov…
There's No Place Like Home
This narrative analysis explores the juxtaposition of local crime news in Omaha, Nebraska with coverage of local troops embedded in Afghanistan in April 2011. It argues that narrative devices such as scene-setting, characterization, sourcing, and the use of dramatic elements constructed violence abroad as heroic and expected, but disruptive and dangerous at home; these contrasts worked to sustain a dominant ideology of institutional superiority
