Power, place, and the spatial dialectic of digital journalism

Chapter 6 shifts to a critical examination of news media and its relationship to social surveillance and control in the spaces and places they serve. We highlight political developments using technology to control, but also focus on the cultural dimensions of shaming and boundary work to shape acceptable behavior and expectations within places. In so doing, this chapter further aligns geographies of journalism with the social justice and critical geographic studies of those who examine elements of the “right to the city” that place people and collectives at the center of public place-making.
