  • Filmmakers As Social Advocates – a New
    Public Relations Journal Vol. 3, No. 4, Fall 2009 © 2009 Public Relations Society of America Filmmakers as Social Advocates—A New Challenge for Issues Management: Claims-making and Framing in Four Social Issue Documentaries Mechelle Martz-Mayfield and Kirk Hallahan, Ph.D., APR, Fellow PRSA This study examines the rise of the social issue documentary film as a medium deserving serious attention by issues managers. After tracing the development of the genre, the papers argues that commercial filmmakers serve as important secondary advocates for causes through highly visible, commercial film productions that frame issues in provocative ways, ascribe blame, and call for social change. A content analysis of four contemporary American films targeting major corporations – Starbucks, McDonalds, Wal-Mart and General Motors – examined the use of issue framing and five story-telling devices identified in the claims-making literature: interviews, statistics, dramatizations, symbols, and celebrities. An additional important tool was identified: the presentation of documentary evidence. Implications for issues management are discussed. The social issue documentary film has been rejuvenated as an art form that draws attention to social problems, and today the genre enjoys growing commercial success as filmmakers strive to quench the public’s thirst for films with social relevance (Kipnes, 2004). Recent productions such as Robert Kenner’s Food, Inc. (2009), Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth (2006) and Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) and Sicko (2007) have prominently focused public attention on major social issues ranging from the environment to healthcare reform. Researchers in issues management and public relations generally have paid little attention to independently produced documentaries as channels of advocacy.

  • Bibliography Primary Sources
    1 Bibliography Primary Sources Documentary/Film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Dir. Stuart Paton. Universal Film Management Company, 1916. ​ DVD. This is the version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea that Jacques Cousteau viewed as a ​ ​ teenager. As one of the earliest films to include underwater footage, Cousteau was fascinated and inspired. We included clips from this film in our website because it was extremely influential on Cousteau. It is important to understand that this was the first time that people saw short underwater clips, and the public was captivated. This impact on the public is the reason that we try to focus on Jules Verne and his science fiction. Épaves. Dir. Jacques Cousteau, Frederic Dumas, and Philippe Taillez. 1943. Online. CG­45. ​ Web. 27 Jan. 2016. In English, this documentary is called Shipwrecks. This was one of Cousteau's earliest ​ ​ underwater films, and one of the first films where divers used the aqualung. It was received with much critical approval, and won several awards as a short documentary. This work was the beginning of Cousteau's film career as he filmed divers using the aqualung. Viewed today, the film seems very primitive, and technological difficulties make the action appear staged. This source was important to us because it gave us a sense of Cousteau’s early efforts in film. First Tests of the Aqualung. Perf. Jacques Cousteau. 1943. YouTube. Web. 27 Jan. 2016. ​ It shows Cousteau testing the aqualung with other men, and includes a voiceover by Cousteau that describes the aqualung, and how it will benefit divers.

  • Trashionals 12 Round 4 Toss-Ups
    TRASHionals 12 Round 4 Toss-Ups 1. The name of one of the earliest all-boy adolescent Mandopop bands in China, a pornstar with this first name formerly hosted the The Porn Hunnies Smut Top 20 and Tushy Talk on KSEX radio. A recent videogame by this name was released for the PlayStation 3, in which one utilizes the Sixaxis motion control to direct pieces of them around the world to trigger releases of color. One animal by this name became the leader of the Whiskers clan in 2002 on Meerkat Manor, though she died late in the third series after being bitten by a King Cobra. In Stranger than Fiction Harold Crick plays with a pun on them to give Ana Pascal a gift, while Pete Seeger asked where have all the real ones gone. For ten points, identify this name for the reproductive part of numerous plants, a name shared with the male Skunk from Bambi. Answer: Flowers 2. During a local outbreak of xenophobia, he's told that the only thing exchanged by letting him study in the US is our national dignity. The son of a Dusseldorf gum manufacturer, he has an affinity for strange candy, including flavor wax and Marzipan Joy Joys with Iodine. In a Halloween episode he is eaten as a type of sausage, but his actual disappearance occurs when a field trip gone wrong sees him left behind and at the mercies of the reenactors of the Ninth Bearded Infantry. His parents are seen talking with the school principal about finding him, and in a later episode he is seen stuck in a cobweb in one of Springfield Elementary's air ducts.
