Extractive journalism: Conceptualizing extractivismo in climate and environmental journalism
This manuscript draws from the Latin American concept extractivismo, literature on journalism and geography, and scholarship on environmental and climate journalism to examine how local reporters and residents of a specific region vulnerable to disasters complicate the national and local boundaries of news production. We analyzed unstructured life story interviews with 9 reporters who live in proximity to the geographical spaces they cover, and 1…
Talking back to the wall: Problematizing trans/national media and counter-publics in border politics
This study presents a textual analysis of the discourses that emerged in Mexican national newspapers and on Twitter about Donald Trump’s calls for a border wall in 2017. As the case of Israel’s border wall became entangled in this discussion, discourse in print and social media engaged in a re-evaluation of alliances and solidarities between Mexico, the Jewish-Mexican community and Israel. The findings show print and online media discourse to be …
Existential Recovery: Re-making and Remembering Through Geo-Storytelling
This article draws from a larger auto-ethnographic project in which I have collected life stories via unstructured interviews with Black residents and environmental activists living in southern Louisiana, my hometown. I highlight three in-depth narratives to illustrate how geo-storytelling within racialized communities cultivates what I call existential recovery. Intersecting scholarship in Black ecology, memory studies, and geo-storytelling, I a…
“Improving the Race”: The Discourse of Science and Eugenics in Local News Coverage, 1905–1922
In the early twentieth century, journalism contributed to the eugenics movement before it reached national and global saliency. Local newspapers played a role in writing about eugenics in Columbia, Missouri, that integrated “scientific” discourse with questions about the social and cultural makeup. Examining the Missouri School of Journalism’s newspaper, the Columbia Missourian, and the city’s newspaper, the Columbia Tribune, shows that the media…
To Ferguson, Love Palestine”: Mediating life under occupation
In Ferguson, Missouri, Palestinian activists and black protesters created a transnational collective identity defined by what some scholars call a “community of feeling” following the murder of Michael Brown in August 2014. This paper focuses on the transnational politics of the Ferguson Movement through a textual analysis of digital media discourse and interviews with local community activists. Findings reveal that activists generated a transnat…

The struggle for ‘our streets: The digital and physical spatial politics of the Ferguson Movement
The Ferguson Movement of 2014 and 2015 reached national salience immediately following the murder of Michael Brown, after residents took to social media platforms to report from what many activists called ‘ground zero.’ Some popular and scholarly conversations have couched the movement largely through its online manifestations; this study, however, places the movement within the intersections of digital and physical space as well as the broader p…
Larger than life: Celebrity journalism, gender and black politics in Fay M. Jackson's Hollywood adventures, 1933-1935
This historical article analyses the work of an under-recognised black female journalist, Fay M. Jackson, who wrote as the Associated Negro Press Hollywood correspondent during the 1930s. Drawing from the literature on celebrity studies, the black press and black feminist thought, this study reveals how Hollywood’s first black female correspondent brought visibility and personhood to black celebrities while employing conventional journalistic str…
Claudia Jones speaks to “half the world”: Gendering Cold War politics in the Daily Worker , 1950–1953
As feminist scholarship has illustrated, historical resurgences of global migration raise questions about the intersections between war politics, persecution of activists, and its gendered implications. Informed by a new historicist approach, this article seeks to contextualize contemporary scholarly conversations on journalism, migration, and feminist studies by conducting a historical analysis of a bi-weekly column entitled “Half the World.” Th…
On Writing in Exile: Absolving and implicating Cuba and China in Robert F. Williams' Crusader
Using James Carey's notion of “historical consciousness,” this article conducted a historical analysis on how Robert F. Williams, a US-born civil rights activist and journalist, negotiated debates about race, racism, and class conflict while living in exile in Cuba and China during the 1960s. The author examined editorial coverage on Cuba and China published in Williams' Crusader between 1961 and 1969. An analysis of this newsletter highlights th…
