Sponsored Content in 2020
This article revisits predictions I made in 2018 regarding the future of newsroom content studios in my book Native Advertising: Advertorial Disruptions in the 21st Century News Feed. As that book was going to press, the news industry was still optimistic that sponsored content —in particular, the native advertising produced by boutique ‘content studios’ at newsrooms around the globe — would serve as a robust alternative revenue stream for presti…
Farmland Owners’ Satisfaction with Agricultural Conservation Easements
Despite substantial investments in purchase of agricultural conservation easement (PACE) programs to preserve farmland, little attention has been placed on evaluating landowner perspectives of PACE post-preservation. Understanding landowner experiences and satisfaction with operation of farms subject to PACE deeds of easement can inform future farmland preservation policy and procedures. The objective of this study is to empirically examine the e…

When Does Public Information Undermine the Efficiency of Reverse Auctions for the Purchase of Ecosystem Services
A Space Apart
This article examines how the preschool child is enabled to withdraw from the peer group and create a private, individual space within the institutional collective. The question under consideration is, "What factors are necessary to enable a child to create and maintain a withdrawal space in the preschool?" Data were collected through ethnographic fieldwork at two Montessori schools in the south of Sweden. Analysis of the results reveals that a c…
Where Are All the Pippis
Print Technology in Scotland and America, 1740–1800The Camera and the Press
For at least the past two decades, literary scholars have used insights from the emerging discipline of media studies to revisit and rethink canonical texts from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Print Technology in Scotland and America and The Camera and the Press are both solid efforts in this direction, as they draw on recent scholarship on media and mediation to explore a series of texts that they connect to nation building and empire.…

The Leak Heard Round the World? Cablegate in the Evolving Global Mediascape
On March 6, 2011, 100 days after US diplomatic cables leaked by WikiLeaks first appeared in the European and American press, an editorial on the WikiLeaks website celebrated the effects of the disclosures: [In recent months] ... the Tunisian revolution has removed a dictator of 23 years, we now know Arab countries urged America to take military action against Iran, why China cracked down on Google, that the UK government offered to “protect US in…

Wikileaks After Megaleaks
Though stories of WikiLeaks have largely vanished from the pages and screens of the world’s media, the legal, ethical and definitional quandaries raised by the site’s actions during 2010 and 2011 continue to shape popular and scholarly discussion of journalism. This article considers how WikiLeaks—and Cablegate in particular—has shifted the understanding and practice of journalism by synthesizing press discourse and scholarship on WikiLeaks. The …
Cablegate in the Congo
This article explores how the "Cablegate" phenomenon played out beyond its pre-dominantly Western context and examines the online circulation of leaked US diplomatic cables pertaining to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). While the media is constitutionally protected in the DRC, in practice journalists face severe press restrictions and frequent reprisals. This meant that politically sensitive cables were discussed cautiously (if at all)…
We Don’t Wanna Be Radiated”
Lynch’s essay explores the divergence between the symbolic imaginary of nuclear power and the imaginative terrain of environmentalism through a look at documentary film about the civilian nuclear industry. Lynch first analyzes several films about US antireactor activism produced in the 1970s and 1980s, showing how they manifest the codependence of antireactor activism and environmentalism. She then turns to recent films that look more broadly at …
We're Going to Crack the World Open”
This paper considers the current and future role played by the document-leaking site Wikileaks in the process of investigative journalism, by analyzing the way in which Wikileaks has articulated its own relationship with the press and then detailing how reporters have actually discovered and used the site. My research shows that Wikileaks is used both as a regular destination and as a one-time source for leaked material; additionally, it is incre…
Culturing the Pleebland
This essay explores the relationship between genetic art — art incorporating material from genetic research — and the construction of a public sphere of debate about genetic research. First considering an exhibit titled Paradise Now that toured in 2000, the author then turns to Eduardo Kac's GFP Bunny project and finally to the work of Steve Kurtz, an artist who has been trying since 2004 to untangle himself from an FBI investigation associated w…

Strange Germs and Hopeful Monsters
I In July of 1934, an American mystery novel by Alexander Laing titled The Cadaver of Gideon Wyck became an unexpected sensation, selling out its first edition by the time of publication and climbing the best-seller charts over the next several months. A hybrid of science fiction, horror, and hard-boiled detective tale, Wyck riveted readers and critics with its ghoulish subject matter—including abortions, babies born with fused lower limbs, an ep…
My Life in Football
The Epidemiology of “Regrettable Kinship
Not a Virus, but an Upgrade
Three-quarters of the way into Greg Bear's 1999 novel Darwin's Radio, the novel's protagonist, Kaye Lang, sees Dustin Hoffman on television as she flips channels in a motel room. The grim, exhausted Lang is momentarily transfixed by Hoffman, who reprises his role as an army researcher in the 1993 film Outbreak. Striding through an empty film studio (as if he were trying to return to the site of the film itself), the actor urges the public to rema…

The Neo/Bio/Colonial Hot Zone
This article explores the proliferation of nonfiction narratives which warn of an impending global pandemic of African origin. Through a reading of four texts — Richard Preston's The Hot Zone, Laurie Garrett's The Coming Plague, Richard Kaplan's The Ends of the Earth, and Jeffrey Goldberg's ‘Our Africa Problem’ — the author argues that such pandemic narratives reflect unease about the United States' current and future role in Africa or other non-…
