Lots of folks don’t want to think about it or hear about it. The last thing they want to do is see it. But, as Priests for Life Director Fr. Frank Pavone says, “America won’t end abortion until America sees abortion.” So for the thirteenth summer in a row, Defend Life took the battle to end abortion to the streets of Mary- land, West Virginia and Washington, D.C., with its Face the Truth Tour.

  • STANDING with PLANNED PARENTHOOD John
    NEW MEDIA AND POLITICAL THREATS: STANDING WITH PLANNED PARENTHOOD John Remensperger A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Chapel Hill 2013 Approved By: Daren C. Brabham Daniel Kreiss Frederic Stutzman © 2013 John Remensperger ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract JOHN REMENSPERGER: New Media and Political Threats: Standing with Planned Parenthood (Under the direction of Dr. Daren C. Brabham) Much of the scholarship on the media strategies of social movement organizations (SMOs) has focused on how these organizations frame issues. More recently, scholars have written about the strategies of digitally native, online advocacy organizations like MoveOn.org. There is a lack of research, however, on how long-standing organizations adapt to new media environments in response to political threats. Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s implementation of tactics like the “Planned Parenthood Truth Tour” and other strategies suggest that older SMOs are attempting, via new media, to take advantage of enthusiasm and interest from publics as they arise. This thesis reveals ways in which existing SMOs prep for and subsequently leverage moments of political contention. It also shows how a long-standing organization that advocates for abortion rights utilizes new media in its political strategy, thus extending previous literature on abortion politics and providing normative guidelines for practitioners involved in similar contentious moments. iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank Dr. Daren Brabham, my committee chair, for his guidance, insights, and flexibility. I would like to thank Dr.

LEWIS BLACK, GRAMMY Award-winning, stand-up comedian, is one of the most prolific and popular performers working today. He executes a brilliant trifecta as a stand-up comedian, actor and author. Receiving critical acclaim, he performs more than 200 nights annually, to sold-out audiences throughout Europe, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. He is one of a few performers to sell out multiple renowned theaters, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooks Atkinson Theatre, New York City Center, the Main Stage at the Mirage in Las Vegas and most recently, the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York City for a sold-out Broadway run. His live performances provide a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment for his audience. He is a passionate performer who is a more pissed-off optimist than a mean- spirited curmudgeon. Lewis is the rare comic who can cause an audience to laugh themselves into incontinence while making compelling points about the absurdity of our world. LEWIS BLACK came into national prominence with his appearances onT HE DAILY SHOW in 1996.
