  • Discourses on Public Library Cuts: an Analysis of Media Representations of Public Library Campaigns
    WHAT DO WE STAND TO LOSE? DISCOURSES ON PUBLIC LIBRARY CUTS: AN ANALYSIS OF MEDIA REPRESENTATIONS OF PUBLIC LIBRARY CAMPAIGNS. A study submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Librarianship at THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD by KATHRYN FLETCHER September 2011 ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank the following people for their involvement in this project: Barbara Sen, for her guidance and support. My family, for their encouragement. iii Abstract Background. The campaigns against library cuts formed the background to this dissertation. Library professionals have expressed concern over the helpfulness of some of the media coverage of the campaigns to the public library cause, and the researcher was interested in exploring whether this concern was legitimate. Aims. The aim of this dissertation was to analyse national newspaper coverage of public libraries generated by the campaigns. An initial objective was to determine the extent and scope of coverage of the campaigns over a sample period. The second (and primary) objective was to identify key discourses in the library debate, and to determine the key actors involved in constructing these discourses. A final objective was to consider the implications of the findings of the study for public library services of the future. Methods. Data was collected from a search of national newspapers on the Lexis Library News database. A sample of 68 articles was collected, 55 of which were deemed suitable for in-depth analysis. A mixed methods approach to analysis was taken, with the researcher employing reciprocal content analysis (quantitative) and situational analysis (qualitative).

  • From the WEAKEST LINK to the STRONGEST LINK
    From THE WEAKEST LINK to THE STRONGEST LINK An innovative cultural project in Liverpool's Chinatown has created the antidote to Anne Robinson's controversial games show "The Weakest Link". PRESS & MEDIA RELEASE Embargo: 14th September 2001 A book for our times: publication date Friday 14 September 2001. ‘Games For The New Years - A DIY Guide To Games For The 21st Century’ by Bill Harpe. Programmes such as The Weakest Link and Big Brother rely on elimination by a process of weakness or failure. But a series of games devised by the artists at The Blackie (Connecting artists and communities) reveals games where there are NO losers. And The Blackie has now produced its own DIY Guide To Games For The 21st Century. This step by step guide is both philosophical and practical and illustrates both how to play and invent games, and as project co-director and author Bill Harpe says : "These games will challenge players - but they involve the challenges of co-operation rather than the challenges of competition". These games are no instant invention. They have been explored and created over more than a quarter of a century, and have been played for enjoyment by children and adults as well as used for training and retraining of artists, teachers, social workers, and government officers. The games have promoted conviviality between players of different ages, backgrounds, races, genders, abilities and disabilities. Bill Harpe said: ‘Play and games over many millennia have been experienced as occasions for creativity, co-operation, and friendship. In our times game shows have always been popular features on radio and television, from Take Your Pick and Double Your Money to The Generation Game.

  • AN EXPLORATORY STUDY of SCIENCE BLOGGERS Degree Candidate
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: OPENING UP THE CONVERSATION: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF SCIENCE BLOGGERS Degree Candidate: Gregory Michael Masters Degree and Year: Master of Arts, 2013 Thesis Directed by: Dr. Carol L. Rogers Philip Merrill College of Journalism Over the past decade, science blogs have experienced tremendous growth and changes in organization, becoming an important part of what researchers have called the “evolving science media ecosystem.” This thesis explores the practices and perceptions of science bloggers through 20 in-depth interviews and through a review of the blogs themselves. The research suggests areas where this medium is having a unique impact on how science communication occurs. The interview results revealed that science bloggers are motivated mainly by enjoyment, have a wide variety of routines and reporting/writing processes, strive to incorporate a personal touch, and are very engaged with readers and fellow writers through social media. This research found that science blogs have important roles in complementing other forms of science communication, opening aspects of science to wider view, promoting conversations about science through blog comments and social media, and exploiting digital tools to enhance communication. OPENING UP THE CONVERSATION: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF SCIENCE BLOGGERS by Gregory Michael Masters Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts 2013 Advisory Committee: Dr. Carol L.
