Terrains of Media Work; Producing Amateurs and Professionals in the 19th-Century United States
This article investigates the reproduction of the foundational terrain of media work as composed of amateur and professional realms through the youth movement of amateur journalism in the late 19th-Century United States. Amateur journalists wrote, typeset and printed journals of essays, commentary, word puzzles and stories, which were circulated primarily among themselves in subcultural networks of reciprocity. A broad cultural analysis character…
Drone Journalism as Visual Aggregation
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs—commonly referred to as drones) in journalism has emerged only recently, and has grown significantly. This article explores what makes drone imagery as an instance of what scholars of visual culture call an aerial view so compelling for major news organizations as to warrant such attention and investment. To do this, the concept ‘visual aggregation’ is introduced to theorize the authority of drone imagery…
Narrativizing Climate Change through Popular Culture
How to understand the yawning gap between the need for immediate, extensive action to address climate change and what will actually be done to address it poses a problem of the highest order. Despi
Critical celebrations of independent media centers 20 years on

Social Media as Primary Source
This article explores and critiques the use of social media as a primary source in the writing of twenty-first-century history. Since the introduction of so-called social media in the early 2000s, social scientists, journalists, and users have hailed this media form as a revolutionary departure from the ‘old media’ that dominated the twentieth century. Part of the narrative of ‘new media’ is it provides greater amounts of user agency, removes str…

This article explores social media as a new genre within the history of the twenty-first century. An overview of genre's role within democratizing history is discussed. The authors argue the social media serves a new form of rhetorical action genre within the twenty-first century. The authors conclude that the genre of social media presents a new (post) modern genre within twenty-first century historiography.Keywords:: social mediahistorygenreFac…
Historical forms of user production
Common conceptions of user production overstate its novelty while understating its variety. To respond to these lacks, this article develops an analytic map that enables a more nuanced historical and critical understanding and investigation of user production. Historical approaches are well suited for capturing the multifarious forms of user production while also avoiding the problem of a-historicism. The article develops a contextual typology of…

User production reconsidered
This article addresses the phenomenon of user production. Upon addressing critically the concept of convergence, it suggests autonomia as an alternative perspective that is exceptionally sensitive to the novelty of digital-media work. However, its value remains limited due not only to a residual technological determinism, but also due to lacking a means of concrete, historical analysis of practice. We propose melding the insights of autonomia wit…
Alternative Journalism
Alternative Journalism is the first book to investigate and analyse the diverse forms and genres of journalism that have arisen as challenges to mainstream news coverage. From the radical content of emancipatory media to the dizzying range of citizen journalist blogs and fanzine subcultures, this book charts the historical and cultural practices of this diverse and globalized phenomenon. This exploration goes to the heart of journalism itself, pr…
Capitulation to capital? OhmyNews as alternative media
This article confronts a foundational problematic in Western-inflected scholarship on media and democracy by investigating the emergence, structure, and operation of OhmyNews, a Korean primarily online publication that hybridizes features of both commercial and ostensibly ‘alternative’ media. After an analysis informed by the social and historical context of Korean politics, economics, and society of the past 40 years, the article concludes that …
Remaking Media Participation in Early Modern England
This article seeks to begin to recover the multiplicity of media participation by focusing on its remaking during the spread and consolidation of a capitalist economy in early modern England. It develops a distinction between unidimensional and multidimensional conceptions of media participation, and uses this to identify and explore the implications of specific cultural forms and media practices which refashioned media participation from medieva…

Alternative Media
This article summarizes and analyzes the dilemma of alternative media as it has been theorized in selected statements in the literatures of mass communication. It locates the source of this dilemma in the theoretical assumptions about alternative media and their resulting inability to escape the seeming tradeoff between political effectiveness and organizational/cultural massification. It concludes by suggesting an alternative way of conceptualiz…
To See the Thing Itself
Using journals, letters, dreams, early memories, and anniversary phenomena as a clinical data base, an attempt has been made to demonstrate how Edward Weston sought to master the psychic trauma imposed at age 5 by the death of his mother through the medium of photography. His photographic artistry came to dominate his entire life, with nature acting as a symbolic maternal substitute and supplying him with a wealth of material for his work. The ci…

Through reference to his letters and fiction, this paper attempts to demonstrate how Conrad made use of depersonalization in order to cope with the childhood loss of his parents and to avoid, whenever possible, psychotic regression.
