  • Media Effects, Emotion, and Race: Extending the Climate Change Risk Perception Model in the United States

    Open AccessChristine Gilbert, Kenneth A LachlanARTICLEEnvironmental Communication2026

    In extant risk and crisis literature, there is evidence that understanding risk perceptions toward a threat can predict related attitudes, behavioral intentions, and behaviors. The climate change risk perception model (CCRPM) argues that climate change risk perceptions are predicted by four broad factors: cognitive, experiential, socio-cultural, and socio-demographic. This extension paper, proposes incorporating media effects literature, specific…

  • Trending women in STEM: Visual space-making on TikTok

    Open AccessJ Suk, Sara Holland Levin et al.ARTICLENew Media & Society2026

    While previous research has established foundational knowledge on how women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) social media content creators use digital platforms to combat stereotypes, less is known about how they make space for themselves on visually dominant platforms. We address this gap by theorizing visual space-making as the coordinated use of visual cues into reproducible, platform-legible visual configurations that crea…

  • Gatekeeping and Communities in Energy Transition: A Study of the Block Island Wind Farm

    Christine Gilbert, Hollie Smith et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Communication2019

    The Block Island Wind Farm (BIWF) is the first offshore wind farm in the United States. Using gatekeeping theory as a framework, this research analyzes local and regional/national newspaper coverage of the BIWF paying particular attention to the use of sources. The data suggest that the differences between newspaper source usage from 1 January 2008 to 1 July 2017 is minimal. However, business sources appeared more than any other group, including …
