  • Media Narratives and Possibilities for Teachers' Embodied Concepts of Self
    Available online at www.jmle.org The National Association for Media Literacy Education’s Journal of Media Literacy Education 4:2 (2012) 149-158 Media Narratives and Possibilities for Teachers’ Embodied Concepts of Self Jane S. Townsend School of Teaching and Learning, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA Patrick A. Ryan School of Education and Human Services, Mount St. Mary’s University, Emmitsburg, MD, USA Abstract Non-print media of radio, television, and film tell narratives about the image and practice of teachers, but how might these media narratives shape conceptions of teachers as well as teachers’ conceptions of themselves? What elements of the media narratives do we incorporate and reject in the narratives that we construct about their professional identities? How do these media and personal narratives interact with larger social narratives, such as the purposes for schools and gender role expectations? We take a historical view of the shaping power of media narratives and the contexts in which they flourished by looking to past depictions of teachers in radio, television, and film. Keywords: teacher image, popular media, narrative analysis, ideological frames, audience reception “We are shaped according to the habit of spectacle.” rests on their ability to offer sufficient coherence within (Fleckenstein 2003, 55) our ideological frames. Because of the evolving social, In reviewing trends in media literacy cultural, and historical contexts in which we create education, Martens (2010) emphasizes helping K-12 narratives as well as our own individual sense of self, students analyze mass media texts, with some scholarly these texts are often revised as new information is discussion about higher education contexts.

SERIES BACKGROUND & DESCRIPTION: In the 1952 motion picture "The Story of Will Rogers," Will Rogers Jr. played his Father: American vaudevillian, humorist, syndicated columnist, social commentator, and motion picture actor Will Rogers. As a result of the popularity of the movie, CBS aired a 1953-54 radio series: Rogers of the Gazette. The series was a light drama focused on the daily activities of a fictional small town newspaper owner who published The Illyria Weekly Gazette. (Spelling of Illyria is taken from scripts for the series.) This series was an example of Art imitating Life. From 1935 to 1953 Will Rogers Jr., Bill as he preferred to be called, owned and operated a weekly newspaper and was the editor/publisher. The newspaper was not located in a small town in America's Heartland, but rather in Beverly Hills, CA: The Beverly Hills Citizen. Bill also worked as a foreign correspondent, covering the Spanish Civil War during 1936 and 1937. SPONSORSHIP: Rogers of the Gazette was aired on a sustaining basis by CBS.
