“What My Mexican Family Hears When I Tell Them I Have Seen a Therapist”: Latinx Mental Health Content Creators as Intercultural Super Peers

Using Social Media Grounded Theory, we coded 69 Instagram and TikTok posts about mental health from 23 social media accounts, including Latinx influencers, advocacy organizations, therapists, and artists/musicians. Our findings demonstrate that Latinx mental health content creators act as intercult…
This is Not a Slippery Slope” Versus “The Queer Sex Panic is Just Beginning”: Discourse About Fosta-Sesta in Ideologically Diverse U.S. Mass media, 2017–2023
This research analyzes mass media coverage of The Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA) and Stop Enabling Online Sex Traffickers Act (SESTA), two landmark 2018 bills that changed how sexual content is moderated by internet service providers in the United States. Using critical discourse analysis, I compare the framing of 101 news stories about FOSTA-SESTA published in mainstream U.S. newspapers, feminist media, and …
“I Definitely Would Appreciate a Little More Validation”: Toward an Ethics of Care in College Newsrooms and Journalism Education
Drawing on interviews with 10 U.S. student journalists, we introduce an ethics-of-care approach for trauma-informed journalism pedagogy. We express grave concern for mental health in journalism programs, offering an empirical snapshot of students’ traumas and coping strategies. We confirm that student journalists, like working reporters, are traumatized by professional norms, high demands, poor boundaries, safety concerns, and ethical-professiona…

Craigslist is Nothing More than an Internet Brothel”: Sex Work and Sex Trafficking in U.S. Newspaper Coverage of Craigslist Sex Forums
In spring 2018 the U.S. federal government forced Craigslist's sex forums closed. A new anti-sex trafficking law, FOSTA-SESTA, made exceptions to the Communications Decency Act, holding websites accountable for online "prostitution." This study used critical discourse analysis to trace how U.S. newspaper articles reported on Craigslist sex forums ( N = 280) during 13 years of coverage preceding FOSTA-SESTA. Nearly 70% of the stories (n = 194) cov…
My zines, so far, aren't as political as other works I've produced”: Communicative Capitalism Among Queer Feminist Zinesters
Self-published zines have been celebrated by some feminist communication scholars for offering an emancipatory outlet for women and queer people. But under the logics of late capitalism, zines cannot reach truly transgressive potentials. This study situates zinester politics within a framework of communicative capitalism: the current era of command individuality and “woke” representational politics. I also historicize zines’ proliferation through…

An exploratory analysis of 17 Association for Education in …

I Am Super Straight and I Prefer You be Too”: Constructions of Heterosexual Masculinity in Online Personal Ads for “Straight” Men Seeking Sex With Men
The theory of online disembodiment, which suggests sexual identity online may be incongruent with real-life self-presentation, is problematized by new dating technologies that may lead to meeting in real life (IRL). Expectations for a single “authentic” sexual identity increase with the likelihood of meeting IRL. This study examines sexual scripting and social constructions of heterosexual masculinity among “straight” men seeking homosexual sex o…
