A Comparative Analysis of Health News in Indigenous and Mainstream Media
It is important to evaluate the media's health coverage of Indigenous communities both because these communities have been hit very hard by health inequities, and because misinformation can negatively affect the future health of Indian Country. This study takes the unique angle of examining both Indigenous and non-Indigenous ("mainstream") news publications to evaluate information gaps in health, health policy, and health efficacy coverage. The I…
Maskulinity,” femininity and a pandemic
Using the results of an Amazon Turk survey of 500 people, both men and women, the authors examine whether toxic masculinity influenced men and women’s belief in myths during the early part of the COVID-19 pandemic. While public appearances may have shown that men were more resistant to public health campaigns and more receptive to health care myths, this survey shows men and women’s responses were much closer in belief and disbelief in myths than…
Mothers are Medicine”
As COVID-19 surged in 2020, non-Indigenous media had a chronic disease of its own: sparse pandemic news from Indian Country. Within this inadequate coverage, there was an erasure of sources: Indigenous women were missing. This study evaluates the role of gender in U.S. Indigenous news coverage during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic. In a qualitative thematic textual analysis, 161 Indigenous media news articles were analyzed to examine ge…
“To Ask Freedom for Women”
On the night of November 14, 1917, 31 suffragists and members of the National Woman’s Party (“NWP”) were taken to Occoquan Workhouse in Virginia and tortured and beaten.

This article examines versions of the Night of Terror from the NWP’s official newspaper, The Suffragist, national newspapers of the day gathered from th…
Indigenous Communities and Covid 19

Through a qualitative contextual analysis, this research explores the news coverage about economic resource loss in both Indigenous and non-Indigenous news media coverage of COVID-19, particularly where the virus and gaming intersected. It illustrates how cove…

Scholars employ highly personal strategies to decide if and how to integrate social media into their professional lives for peer and public communication. Scholars struggle with a double bind of needing to be social media savvy while worrying about career consequences…
Feminazis,” “libtards,” “snowflakes,” and “racists
Using a Qualtrics survey of 338 Twitter and Facebook users, the authors explore the effect that the 2016 U.S. presidential election had on people’s political posts both before and after the election and whether or not people actually experienced harassment and threats during the election cycle. If trolling causes people—particularly women, LGBTQIA community members, and people who identify with a disability—to censor themselves because they feel …
