Take Extinction off Your Plate
The link between current dietary patterns and their adverse impact on the environment is well established. Thus, previous studies have raised concerns that environmental social movement organizations, as social change entrepreneurs, often fail to adequately make food an issue, especially animal-based foods, nor strongly advocate needed solutions, including shifting to plant-based diets. Building upon this, but specifically addressing the biodiver…
The Human Animal Earthling Identity
Critical animal and media studies
Critical and communication studies have traditionally neglected the oppression conducted by humans towards other animals. However, our (mis)treatment of other animals is the result of public consent supported by a morally speciesist-anthropocentric system of values. Speciesism or anthroparchy, as much as any other mainstream ideologies, feeds the media and at the same time is perpetuated by them. The goal of this article is to remedy this neglect…
The Protection of Meat (Kip Andersen & Keegan Kuhn, Cowspiracy)

Respectful Representation
Media studies scholar Carrie Freeman teamed up with biologists Marc Bekoff and Sarah Bexell to assess the United States’ Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) code of ethics, particularly its mandate for journalists to “give voice to the voiceless” (SPJ, 2014). The resulting scholarly paper, “Giving voice to the voiceless: Incorporating nonhuman voices as journalistic sources,” declared that “as part of journalism’s commitment to truth and ju…
Framing Farming
To what extent should animal rights activists promote animal rights when attempting to persuade meat-lovers to stop eating animals? Contributing to a classic social movement framing debate, Freeman examines the animal rights movement’s struggles over whether to construct farming campaign messages based more on utility (emphasizing animal welfare, reform and reduction, and human self-interest) or ideology (emphasizing animal rights and abolition).…
Giving Voice to the “Voiceless”
As part of journalism's commitment to truth and justice by providing a diversity of relevant points of view, journalists have an obligation to provide the perspective of nonhuman animals in everyday stories that influence the animals’ and our lives. This essay provides justification and guidance on why and how this can be accomplished, recommending that, when writing about nonhuman animals or issues, journalists should: (1) observe, listen to, an…
Meat's Place on the Campaign Menu
Given the impact of America's food choices, particularly animal-based foods, on life-sustaining systems, to what extent is the environmental movement making meat-based diets an issue? This research analyzes websites of 15 US environmental advocacy organizations (EOs) to examine how they negotiate the question of animal versus plant-based diets and propose solutions for food producers and consumers. EOs proposed that industrial agriculture and com…
Framing Animal Rights in the “Go Veg” Campaigns of U.S. Animal Rights Organizations
How much do animal rights activists talk about animal rights when they attempt to persuade America’s meat-lovers to stop eating nonhuman animals? This study serves as the basis for a unique evaluation and categorization of problems and solutions as framed by five major U.S. animal rights organizations in their vegan/food campaigns. The findings reveal that the organizations framed the problems as: cruelty and suffering; commodification; harm to h…
