Roughly 22 million have sought job- less benefits in the past month — the worst stretch of U.S. job losses on record. It means that roughly one in seven work- ers have lost their jobs in that time. The grim figures point to an econo- my that is tumbling into what appears to be a calamitous recession, the worst in decades. The nation’s output could shrink by roughly 10.5% before it starts to rebound, according to Ryan Sweet, an economist at Moody’s Analytics.

Address changes from rural routes to street numbers or county road numbers were made, along with area code changes. A great many of these corrections were made, but I am sure there are others. If your address changed and we didn’t get it corrected, please send it to me. Also, many singings have changed the dates of their singings or combined them with other singings, so check the listings in the directory of singings section. It has been a year of a lot of changes! A problem has arisen that needs to be addressed. In the fabulous world of technology there still remain some problems connected with these new advances. One such problem is the fact that when you send minutes via e-mail, you do not send a check with it. It is extremely difficult to keep up with who has and has not mailed a check. If you are among this group, please note that I will not include your singing minutes in the book until I have received a hard copy with a check enclosed.

Hough August 2015 © 2015 Brian J. Hough. All Rights Reserved This dissertation titled A Comparative Discourse Analysis of Media Texts Pertaining to Fracking in North Dakota’s Bakken Region by BRIAN J. HOUGH has been approved for the School of Media Arts and Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Lawrence E. Wood Associate Professor of Media Arts and Studies Scott Titsworth Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT HOUGH, BRIAN J., Ph.D., August 2015, Mass Communications A Comparative Discourse Analysis of Media Texts Pertaining to Fracking in North Dakota’s Bakken Region Director of Dissertation: Lawrence E. Wood This research broadly investigates mediated discourse and knowledge construction among media outlets commonly identified as “traditional” and “new.” Specifically, this research represents a case study of fracking in the Bakken shale region of North Dakota. Using qualitative, interpretive methods this dissertation considers what knowledge(s) are constructed, upheld, and silenced in mediated representations of fracking in the Bakken. This dissertation draws upon a poststructural definition of discourse, which views knowledge and meaning as constructed realities, rather than Real in an objective sense (Castree, 2001, 2014; Foucault, 2010/1972; Hall, 1997). Although the power and resources required to produce discourse is unequal, taken-for-granted ways of thinking and doing are nevertheless always open to challenge from relatively less powerful sources.
