GOV’T CODE § 2001.038 AND REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER, TEMPORARY INJUNCTION, AND PERMANENT INJUNCTION TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT: COMES NOW, Plaintiff Kim Elliot McMorries (“Dr. McMorries”), filing this Original Petition for Declaratory Judgment Pursuant to TEX. GOV’T CODE § 2001.038, and Request for Temporary Restraining Order, Temporary Injunction, and Permanent Injunction against Defendant Texas Medical Board (“Board” or “TMB”). In support thereof, Dr. McMorries would respectfully show unto the Court as follows: I. Summary of the Action: 1. The Texas Medical Board is about to do exactly what the Texas Legislature has prohibited. The Texas Legislature stated that “the [Texas Medical] [B]oard may not consider or act on a complaint involving care provided more than seven years before the date on which the complaint is received ….” TEXAS OCCUPATIONS CODE § 154.051(d) (emphasis added). Despite that law, and despite initially following that law, the Board now stands on the cusp of instigating a contested case with the State Office of Administrative Hearings over complaints involving care provided in the 1980’s, more than three decades ago. The Board does so based on a Board rule that twists the Texas Legislature’s words to the point of outright defiance of the Legislature’s intent.

It starts by examining the role citizen journalism played in the early American colonies to show that the concept of citizen journalism is not new but has played a vital role throughout American history. Next, the focus shifts to the events and reasons that led to the re-emergence of citizen journalism during the past few decades, such as media consolidation and new technology.

  • The Interaction Between Citizen Media and the Mainstream Media Media Organisation in Egypt During 2011, 2012 & 2013
    BIRMINGHAM CITY UNIVERSITY The Interaction Between Citizen Media and the Mainstream Media Media Organisation in Egypt during 2011, 2012 & 2013 77,000 Words Noha Atef Supervisors: Prof. Tim Wall Dr. Dima Saber Submitted to the Faculty of Art, Design and Media at Birmingham City University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy I declare that this is a true copy of the examined manuscript of my PhD thesis in 17th January, 2017, which was further submitted on 10th March, 2017 with minor changes approved by the examiners. 1 Abstract THE INTERACTION BETWEEN CITIZEN MEDIA AND THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA Media Organisation of Egypt during 2011, 2012 & 2013 This research explores the mutual influences between citizen media and the mainstream media, through studying two phenomena occurred in Egypt during the years 2011, 2012 and 2013; which are the institutionalisation of citizen journalism and the employment of a number of citizen journalists in the mainstream media. The thesis answers the question: What is the nature of interaction between citizen media and the mainstream media? I argue that the citizen media -mainstream media interaction is driven by the medium, which is the social media, the media organizer; or the individuals who control the media outlet, either by having editorial authority, such as Editors-in-chief, or owning it. In addition, the mass media are another driver of the interaction between citizen media and the mainstream media. Plus, the relationship between the citizens of the state and the political regime too, it influence the convergence and divergence of citizen media and the mainstream media.
