WARC GUIDE The brutal death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020 was a fleeting moment, however tragic, that brought clarity to the Black Lives Matter movement. With Americans, and people throughout the world, in the middle of quarantine, the reality of what happened to Floyd could not be escaped. It rapidly accelerated public sentiment around the need for society – and brands – to address ongoing systemic racism. Before then, only a handful of brands, such as Nike and Procter & Gamble, had been courageous enough to take a stand. But as consumers, especially young ones, demand change from those in power – including brands – brands will need to find the courage to make change. © Copyright WARC 2020. All rights reserved.

  • The Parkland Shooting.” It Too Can Be Understood As a Form of Civic Engagement
    FROM THE INSTRUCTOR When the shooting broke out in Parkland, Florida, last February 14, Miranda was already underway with research for an essay about A Beautiful Mind, a 2001 film about the schizophrenic mathematician John Nash. Continuing with that worthy project would’ve been the easiest way for her complete the assignment. But in the wake of Parkland, Miranda’s motivation to understand the power of media representations of mental illness gave her the courage to change her approach midstream and to dive into a controversial political issue. Her choice paid off with the compelling and timely essay you are about to read. In Miranda’s words, “It is possible to start somewhere and then end up in a completely different place, and that is sometimes the best way to develop a project.” On March 24, as students across the country gathered for the March for Our Lives, Miranda was making the last round of revisions to her prizewinning essay “Representations of Mental Illness Within FOX and CNN: The Parkland Shooting.” It too can be understood as a form of civic engagement. In this paper, Miranda presents new data she collected about news coverage of the Parkland school shooting and uses the kind of critical information literacy skills that are essential to responsible citizenship. In doing so, she contributes to both scholarly and public conversations about gun violence and mental illness. Her portfolio makes the connection between scholarly and public discourse explicit when she describes how she drew on knowledge from her research to respond to an acquaintance’s Instagram post blaming gun violence on mentally ill people in especially derogatory terms.

AN ANALYSIS OF MASS COMMUNICATION AND ADVERTISING FOR THE PREVENTION OF SEXUAL ASSAULT by JESSE SUMMERS A THESIS Presented to the School of Journalism and Communication and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts June 2016 An Abstract of the Thesis of Jesse Summers for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the School of Journalism and Communication to be taken June 2017 Title: What Do We Say Now? An Analysis of Mass Communication and Advertising for the Prevention of Sexual Assault Approved: ~ ~ a--r1.._ Kim Sheehan Sexual assault has become a prevalent issue in recent years. From university campuses to the White House, the issue is being discussed and addressed in many different ways. This thesis specifically discusses the It's On Us and No More campaigns as well as two pieces of popular media used to spread awareness of the issue of sexual assault. The Transtheoretical Model of Change, a social health model used to understand an individual's willingness to change their behavior, is used as a basis for analyzing the videos produced for these campaigns and categorizing them based on their potential to influence a viewer's behavior. Semiotic analysis is used to analyze specific content in each video and associate the videos with stages in the Transtheoretical Model of Change. Initial results showed that many of the current videos focus on creating awareness and are associated with the pre-contemplation or contemplation stages. However, analyzing specific links between the videos and other campaign content such as websites shows potential for viewers to move beyond the early stages of the model.

Bellisario College of Communications GROWING UP GAMERS: FEMALE LEISURE IN DIGITAL GAMES CULTURE A Dissertation in Mass Communications by Stephanie Orme 2018 Stephanie Orme Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2018 The dissertation of Stephanie was reviewed and approved* by the following: Matthew P. McAllister Professor of Communications Chair of Graduate Programs Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Michelle Rodino-Colocino Associate Professor of Communications Patrick R. Parsons Professor of Communications Camilla J. Hodge Assistant Professor of Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This dissertation explores possible explanations and complexities surrounding women’s relationship with leisure and video games. One of my objectives with this study is to understand how women players view their relationship with gaming: how they become involved with video games, how gaming fits into their adult lives (specifically, as wives, mothers, etc.), and the reasons they play games. Primarily, I am interested in how women’s reported experiences with games affirm or challenge dominant narratives about their experiences. After surveying more than 3,000 women players and conducting 21 follow-up interviews, I discuss trends in women’s video game play, including their genre and play style preferences, motivations for playing games, the extent that they consider themselves “gamers,” and how their relationships with gaming have evolved over the course of the lives. Specifically, I investigate how gendered constraints on women’s access to and enjoyment of leisure time influence the reported trends in women’s gaming experience.

As federal regulations of those stations loosen and fewer owners increase their holdings across the country, however, local community needs are subjugated by corporate fiduciary responsibilities. Business practices reveal rampant consolidation of ownership, newsroom job description convergence, skilled human labor replaced by computer automation, and economically-driven downsizings, all in the name of profit.
