Media Standing of Urban Parkland Movements
What role does media coverage play in local communities' efforts to assert their stake in contests over urban land use? We focus this question by examining the case of Taylor Yard in Los Angeles, where community activists fought for a decade to avoid industrial development of a 100‐acre parcel of former rail yard in favor of creating much‐needed parkland. We analyze 446 direct quotations from 54 print news stories on the contest over land use at …
