While there is no dearth of people seeking employment in this ever in demand media machine, sustainability is a major issue especially given recession driven cutbacks. The creative talents that this field draws more often than not lack the financial know-how required to even stay afloat when so many enterprises are sinking around the world.

  • Repowered Feminist Analysis of Parks and Recreation
    Repowered Feminist Analysis of Parks and Recreation A Thesis submitted to Southern Utah University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Professional Communication December 2018 By Bailee M. Bahr Southern Utah University Thesis Committee: Kevin Stein, PhD, Chair I certify that I have read and viewed this project and that, in my opinion, it is satisfactory in scope and quality as a thesis for the degree of Master of Professional Communication. Repowered Feminist Analysis 1 Kevin Stein __________________________________ Kevin Stein, Ph.D., Capstone Chair Matthew Barton __________________________________ Matthew Barton, Ph.D., MAPC Graduate Director Abstract Repowered Feminist Analysis 2 This paper analyzes the television show Parks and Recreation in order to find principles of Foss and Foss’ (2009) characteristics of repowered feminism. This paper aims to discover if Leslie Knope represents a new form of feminism, what characteristics specifically that she represents, and if these qualities contribute to a freer, less oppressed Leslie Knope. The analysis examines three episodes of the show and uses feminist rhetorical criticism to analyze the findings. I found that repowered feminism applies both to a feminist’s concerns with feminist issues and the applicability of repowered feminism to all types of problem solving. Knope, whether focusing directly on feminist issues or on the various obstacles she faces while doing her job, is usually presented as more successful when she implements the characteristics of repowered feminism. Keywords: parks and recreation, repowered feminism, pop culture Acknowledgements A massive hug and kiss to my adorable husband who encouraged me to finish my thesis in spite of the plethora of excuses.

  • Election Observation During a Pandemic: CMEV Activity Report
    Election Observation During a Pandemic: CMEV Activity Report Lockdown, quarantine, flattening the curve and shutdown are not the terms familiar to many. CMEV also faced new experiences and challenges in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic situation. This document first provides an overview of some of the interventions made by CMEV in this period. It also details media coverage of CMEV’s activities and interventions. Finally, the document provides a snapshot of activity on CMEV’s official website and Facebook pages, as indicators of CMEV’s online operations during this period. The pre-election campaign period for the Parliamentary General Election 2020 was active since midnight of March 02, 2020 and CMEV has been recording an increasing number of campaign related complaints despite preferential numbers for candidates not even being issued. Those complaints were not entirely related to conventional election violence and violation related incidents as with elections in the past. Many of the complaints received were connected to the politicisation of relief measures provided by the government in the wake of the pandemic. One of the significant factors affecting CMEV’s work was attempting to run an election observation mission in a context that did not allow for access to our head office with significant travel restrictions also been imposed on our mobility. In addition, we have had to determine manner in which we are supposed to contribute to the election process while it has been continuously postponed due to its uncertain legal foundation. Despite this, CMEV staff have continued to carry out their duties as usual while being based at their respective residences during this restricted context.
