Digital Witnesses: the Power of Looking March 3, 2021 Digital Witnesses: The Power of Looking March 3, 2021 HELLO, EVERYBODY, AND WELCOME TO THIS VIRTUAL EVENT, HOSTED BY THE BERKMAN KLEIN CENTER, DIGITAL WITNESSES, THE POWER OF LOOKING. MY NAME IS ELLERY ROBERTS BIDDLE. AND I AM A BKC ALUM. I CURRENTLY WORK WITH RANKING DIGITAL RIGHTS PROJECT. IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE BACK AT THE BERKMAN KLEIN CENTER. ONE OF MY FAVORITE HOMES IN THE DIGITAL RIGHTS UNIVERSE THAT WE ALL INHABIT. IT'S A REAL PRIVILEGE TO BE SPEAKING TODAY WITH THESE THREE REMARKABLE WOMEN, SCHOLARS, ACTIVISTS, JOURNALISTS WHO I WILL NOW INTRODUCE. WE WILL BEGIN TODAY WITH ALLISSA RICHARDSON. DR. RICHARDSON IS AN AWARD-WINNING JOURNALIST, PIONEER IN MOBILE Journalism AND ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF JOURNALISM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA'S ANNENBERG SCHOOL. SHE RESEARCHES HOW MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES USE MOBILE AND SOCIAL MEDIA TO PRODUCE INNOVATIVE FORMS OF JOURNALISM, ESPECIALLY IN TIMES OF CRISIS. -- DR. RICHARDSON IS ALSO THE AUTHOR OF BEARING WITNESS WHILE BLACK, AFRICAN- AMERICANS, SMARTPHONES AND THE NOW PROTEST JOURNALISM. HER JOURNALS APARTMENTS APPEARED IN THE JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION. JOURNALISM STUDIES. CONVERGENCE AND THE BLACK SCHOLAR, AMONG OTHERS. NEXT UP WE HAVE HANNANE FERDJANI. HANNANE IS A JOURNALIST IN NIGER. SHE WORKED FOR AFRICA NEWS, EURO NEWS AND FRANCE NEWS COVERING BUSINESS, POLITICS AND SECURITY. AND DONE IMPACT REPORTING ON BOKO HARAM ON POPULATIONS IN THE LAKE CHAD REGION. AS A NEIMAN BERKMAN KLEIN FELLOW IN JOURNALISM AND INNOVATION SHE STUDIED HOW TO DEVELOP JOURNALISM METHODS WHEN COVERING NATIONS UNDERGOING DIGITAL TRANSFORMATIONS, WITH A FOCUSED ON ENSURING RIGOROUS AND EFFECTIVE REPORTING. TODAY SHE HOSTS BEYOND THE NOISE, AN INDEPENDENT DIGITAL JOURNALISM PROJECT FOCUSED ON PROVIDING RELIABLE INFORMATION AND DEBUNKING FAKE NEWS AND MYTHS CIRCULATING ONLINE IN AFRICA. AND WE'LL CONCLUDE WITH NANA NWACHUKWU. NANA IS A KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT ADVISOR FOR THE UK DEPARTMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT. FOR MORE THAN A DECADE, SHE HAS WORKED ON ECONOMIC POLICY, GOVERNANCE AND INTERNET RELATED ISSUES AND SHE'S CURRENTLY TRACKING AND MONITORING THE MANIPULATION OF FACEBOOK AND TWITTER COMMUNITY SAFETY GUIDELINES. SHE IS FINISHING HER MASTERS DEGREE IN INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN AFFAIRS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF YORK IN THE UK WHERE SHE IS RESEARCHING THE OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF TECHNOLOGY IN IMPROVING HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE. SO TO GET US STARTED, I WANTED TO JUST INVOKE THE NAME OF A DEAR COLLEAGUE AND BERKMAN KLEIN SCHOLAR AND WRITER, An Xiao Mina, WHOSE BOOK MEMES TO MOVEMENTS CAME TO MIND AS I WAS READING AND THINKING ABOUT WHAT EVERYONE IS GOING TO BE SHARING TODAY. I WANTED TO READ A TINY EXCERPT FROM HER INTRODUCTION WHERE AN TALKS ABOUT AND LINKS DIFFERENT SORT OF CURRENTS OF DIGITAL ACTIVISM IN THE -- THE PROTESTS IN FERGUSON MISSOURI IN 2014 FOLLOWING THE POLICE MURDER OF MICHAEL BROWN, AND THE PROTEST MOVEMENT IN HONG KONG THAT HAS BEEN THROUGH SEVERAL WAVES BUT A MAJOR ONE OF WHICH OCCURRED IN 2014. SO SHE SITUATES US IN FERGUSON AND WRITES OF THE PROTESTERS. "AS THEY RAISED THEIR HANDS AND FISTS ANY ALSO RAISED THEIR PHONES, TO DOCUMENT, SHARE AND NETWORK WITH PROTESTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. I WATCHED MY SOCIAL MEDIA FEEDS FLOOD WITH IMAGES OF PEOPLE WITH THEIR HANDS SHOWING, PALMS FACING THE CAMERA. THE PHOTOS REENACTED AS A PERFORMATIVE GESTURE, THE CHANT THAT WAS QUICKLY BECOMING SYNONYMOUS WITH THE FERGUSON PROTESTS. HANDS UP, THE CHANT LEADER WOULD CALL OUT. DON'T SHOOT, THE CROWD WOULD RESPOND. MEANWHILE, HALF A WORLD AWAY IN THE SUBTROPICAL METROPOLITANS OF HONG KONG TENSIONS WERE GROWING OVER ISSUES OF DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS AND UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE. A MONTH LATER IN SEPTEMBER 2014, THE SIMILARITIES BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE. STUDENTS HANDS WERE RAISED TO THE SKY IN A GESTURE AGAINST POLICE VIOLENCE. AND SHE NOTES HOW THESE SITUATIONS HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENCES BUT THAT'S THE STRIKING SIMILARITY OF THE HANDS UP GESTURE, REFLECTING COMMON CONCERNS ABOUT POLICE VIOLENCE. AND SHE -- AND SHE POINTS OUT HOW ONLINE PEOPLE IN BOTH MOVEMENTS WERE KIND OF INTERACTING WITH EACH OTHER, SHARING TACTICS, KIND OF USING AND REMAKING HASHTAGS TO -- AS A SIGN OF SOLIDARITY. SHE WRITES "THE INTERNET WAS THE ESSENTIALLY TO THE RISE OF BOTH MOVEMENTS, IT MADE THEM VISIBLE TO THEMSELVES AND TO EACH OTHER. IT'S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE NOW TO THINK OF A SOCIAL MOVEMENT WITHOUT THE INTERNET. AND AS THE WORLD COMES ONLINE COMMUNITIES ADVOCATING FOR CHANGE ARE POPPING UP GLOBALLY IN PLACES LARGE AND SMALL, CHANNELING THEIR ENERGIES TO THE STREETS AND TO THE WEB." SO I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR ABOUT MORE MOVEMENTS. SO LET'S KICK IT OFF WITH ALLISSA. THANK YOU SO MUCH ELLERY. I LOVE THAT INTRODUCTION. I LOVE THE FACT THAT WE ARE GROUNDING THIS IN THE FACT THAT THESE DEVICES HAVE GIVEN ORDINARY PEOPLE THE POWER TO PROTEST ALL AROUND THE WORLD. I WANT TO ANCHOR OR START US OFF WITH SOME OBSERVATIONS I MADE AS A "MOJO" HERE IN THE U.S. AS I WAS CRISSCROSSING THE THE WORLD GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN DIFFERENT POINTS IN AFRICA AND HERE. I'M GIVING A BRIEF HISTORY OF WHAT BLACK WITNESSING HAS LOOKED LIKE IN THE U.S., AS I CALL IT IN MY BOOK. AND TALK ABOUT HOW SOME OF THE TACTICS ARE INDEED SHARED INTERNATIONALLY. AND SO I ALWAYS LIKE TO TALK ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO, WHEN THE iphone FIRST CAME OUT WITH ITS FIRST FRONT AND REAR FACING CAMERA. ANDS THIS IS A COMMERCIAL THAT MY JOURNALISM STUDENTS AND I MADE TEN YEARS AGO TO SHOW WHAT WAS POSSIBLE IN JOURNALISM. WE CALLED OURSELVES THE MORGAN MOJO LAB. AND WE WERE SITUATED AT MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY IN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. AND IT'S A HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE. AND SO MY STUDENTS WERE THE FIRST ONCE IN THE WORLD TO WORK IN A MOJO ONLY ENVIRONMENT, MOBILE FIRST ENVIRONMENT. AND WE WERE INVITED AROUND THE WORLD TO SHOW PEOPLE WHAT IT IS WE WERE DOING IN OUR TINY CLASSROOM. AT ONE PARTICULAR CONFERENCE WE WERE INVITED BY GLOBAL GIRL MEDIA TO COME TO SOUTH AFRICA TO REPLICATE OUR PROCESS AND OUR CURRICULUM. AND SO WE WENT AT THE TAIL END OF THE WORLD CUP. AND WE TAUGHT MANY, MANY GIRLS THERE HOW TO PRODUCE MOBILE JOURNALISM. WHILE I WAS ON THE CONTINENT IS WHEN I REALLY STARTED TO NOTICE THAT POINTS NORTH WERE IN GREAT TURMOIL. AS MANY OF YOU PROBABLY REMEMBER, THE ARAB SPRING ERUPTED. AND DURING THAT TIME I WAS GETTING MOST OF MY NEWS ABOUT THE ARAB SPRING FROM TWITTER. AND I WAS NOT GETTING IT FROM THE BROADCAST STATIONS THAT YOU MAY THINK OF MOST OFTEN. ONE OF THE THINGS I SHOULD ALSO SAY, THOUGH, IS THAT AS I BEGAN TO SEE UNREST REALLY SPREAD THROUGHOUT MOROCCO AND -- WELL ACTUALLY TUNISIA AND LIBYA, I WAS INVITED BY MOROCCO, I SHOULD SAY, JUST AS THEIR KIND OF VIOLENCE BEGAN TO RAMP UP TO REPLICATE THE MOJO LAB THERE TOO. WE TAUGHT 40 DIFFERENT GIRLS ALL ACROSS THE NATION HOW TO DO MOBILE JOURNALISM SO THAT THERE WOULDN'T BE VIOLENCE CONTINUING IN THAT NATION. AND SO I REALLY STARTED TO REALIZE THAT I COULD DO INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGES WITH MY STUDENTS, HAVING STUDENTS IN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, TALK TO MY STUDENTS IN SOUTH AFRICA OR MOROCCO JUST USING THESE DEVICES. I SHOULD ALSO MENTION THAT I WANTED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL AFTER ALL OF THESE EXPERIENCES ABROAD, BECAUSE I REALIZED THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE PAID TO READ AND WRITE AND JUST TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY READ AND WROTE. AND THOSE PEOPLE ARE CALLED PROFESSORS. AS A WORKING JOURNALIST AT THE TIME I HAD NEVER THOUGHT OF ACADEMIA BUT I SAW JUST HOW MUCH TIME ACADEMICS HAD TO ANALYZE WHAT THEY WERE DOING, PARSE WHAT THEY WERE DOING, MAKE SENSE OF IT AND THEN SHARE BEST PRACTICES. AND SO THE FIRST WEEK OF MY GRAD SCHOOL Ph.D. EXPERIENCE, MIKE BROWN WAS KILLED. ONCE AGAIN, I REALIZED THAT I'M LEARNING ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN FERGUSON, NOT FROM BROADCAST TV BUT THROUGH BLACK ACTIVISTS ON TWITTER. AND MANY OF THEM LIKE THE ONES FEATURED HERE HAVE LITTLE MORE THAN THEIR CELL PHONE AND A WI-FI CONNECTION. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS BY NOW WE WERE THREE YEARS OUT FROM THE ARAB SPRING. AND THREE YEARS AWAY FROM THE OCCUPY WALL STREET MOVEMENTS, WHICH WERE ALSO MEDIATED BY MOBILE DEVICES. YET I WASN'T SEEING ANY LITERATURE ABOUT FERGUSON AT ALL. I SAW A TON OF ARTICLES, RIGHTFULLY SO, ABOUT THE ARAB SPRING, AND A TON OF ARTICLES ABOUT THE MOBILE PHONE'S IMPACT ON OCCUPY. BUT I KEPT SEARCHING, SAYING SURELY SOMEBODY IS GOING TO WRITE SOMETHING ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE'S USE OF CELL PHONES, AND HOW THIS HAS BEEN A COMPLETELY NEW WAY OF GETTING THE MY DAD WATCHING THIS VIDEO OF RODNEY KING BEING BEATEN ALMOST TO DEATH. AND I REMEMBER MY DAD WHO IS A SON OF THE CARIBBEAN SAYING, JESUS, THEY DON'T DO THIS TO PEOPLE BACK HOME. I THOUGHT BACK HOME? WELL THIS IS MY HOME. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE OF THAT? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU? WHAT'S HAPPENING TO MY BROTHER? AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, LOS ANGELES WHERE I'M BASED NOW ERUPTED AFTER THESE FOUR POLICE OFFICERS WERE ACQUITTED. AND EVEN WITH THE VIDEO I SAW THIS AS A WATERSHED MOMENT FOR MOBILE WITNESSING AND I SAID SURELY SOMEBODY WROTE ABOUT THIS AND I SCOURED MORE. THERE AREO THERE WERE A FEW ARTICLES HERE AND THERE BUT THE MAJORITY OF THEM WERE ABOUT THE LEGAL CASE ITSELF AND NOT THE IMPACT OF THE VIDEO. THAT'S WHEN I BEGAN TO GET THIS IDEA THAT I NEEDED TO GO BACK IN TIME TO REALLY TRACE HOW MANY TIMES AFRICAN-AMERICANS HAVE HACKED TECHNOLOGY TO SHINE A LIGHT ON INJUSTICES.

  • BLACK LIVES MATTER (BLM)Poetry
    BLACK LIVES MATTER (BLM)Poetry: By : Janaya Cooper Dr.Saundra Collins, Independent Studies Advisor, Black Psychology and Black Sociology Research Project for Black Psychology and Black Sociology of Black Lives Matter Dr.Zoe Burkholder, Internship Coordinator, MSU Human Rights Education Internship MSU Human Rights Education Internship, Black Lives Matter Movement December 20,2016 Dear Emmett Till I hear it was the whistling towards a white woman, that got you killed, face beaten in like a castrated mummy. They stopped you because they did not want to take the blame. Oh! how they killed you because they hated themselves, used a lie to send you to your grave in the most horrible way. Blood stains the Coliseum doors. Now history repeats, everyone getting killed like Till. Dead Black bodies dropping down on the streets. Shout all of their names 3 times! They were innocent Black people, but 5-0 thought otherwise. Police took away precious black lives of men, women, and children. I know I’m guilty of it too, but not like them. ​ Stop the killing! Stop the racism! Freeze! Black people are no longer enslaved, We no longer wear those chains just to be painted gold. Now once upon a time not too long ago, A nigga like myself had to strong arm a hoe. Hold your golden-black crown high Black woman Black woman What do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you see the strength and heart of the warrior Afrekete? Is your head held up high, for a crown to rest? And be dubbed black queen, mother of life, educator of black intelligence Do you see your dark skin as it dances and befriends the night, kisses the sun and absorbs black power day in and day out? Do you see those wide hips, big bust, big butt and big lips? Never will you say that those precious gifts from descendant Saartjie Baartman are a curse.

  • Corruption in Civil Society Activism in the Niger Delta and Defines Csos to Include Ngos, Self-Help Groups and Militant Organisations
    THE ROLE OF CORRUPTION ON CIVIL SOCIETY ACTIVISM IN THE NIGER DELTA BY TOMONIDIEOKUMA BRIGHT A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LANCASTER UNIVERSITY FOR DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY SUBMISSION DATE: SEPTEMBER, 2019 i Abstract: This thesis studies the challenges and relationships between the Niger delta people, the federal government and Multinational Oil Companies (MNOCs). It describes the major problems caused by unmonitored crude oil exploitation as environmental degradation and underdevelopment. The study highlights the array of roles played by Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in filling the gap between the stakeholders in the oil industry and crude oil host communities. Except for the contributions from Austin Ikelegbe (2001), Okechukwu Ibeanu (2006) and Shola Omotola (2009), there is a limitation in the literature on corruption and civil society activism in the Niger delta. These authors dwelt on the role of CSOs in the region’s struggle. But this research fills a knowledge gap on the role of corruption in civil society activism in the Niger delta and defines CSOs to include NGOs, self-help groups and militant organisations. Corruption is problematic in Nigeria and affects every sector of the economy including CSOs. The corruption in CSOs is demonstrated in their relationship with MNOCs, the federal government, host communities and donor organisations. Smith (2010) discussed the corruption in NGOs in Nigeria which is also different because this work focuses on the role of corruption in CSOs in the Niger delta and the problems around crude oil exploitation. The findings from the fieldwork using oral history, ethnography, structured and semi-structured interview methods show that corruption impacts CSOs activism in diverse ways and has structural and historical roots embedded in colonialism.

  • Song & Music in the Movement
    Transcript: Song & Music in the Movement A Conversation with Candie Carawan, Charles Cobb, Bettie Mae Fikes, Worth Long, Charles Neblett, and Hollis Watkins, September 19 – 20, 2017. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.

  • What Is Police Violence? Plain Language Toolkit
    What is Police Violence? A plain language booklet about anti-Black racism, police violence, and what you can do to stop it 1 Introduction We are writing this booklet in June of 2020. Right now, there are protests all over the country about racism and police violence. We wrote this booklet in plain language so as many people as possible can understand the protests. There is a lot to know about racism and police violence. We can’t talk about everything in this short booklet. We will tell you where to learn more. And, we will work on more resources. This booklet is just to get you started. Racism is when people are treated unfairly because of their race. Anti-Black racism is when Black people are treated unfairly because they are Black. People can do racist things. For example: Byron is Black. He wants to rent a house. Tyler is white. He owns a house, and wants to rent it out. Byron comes to see Tyler’s house. Tyler lies to Byron because Byron is Black. Tyler tells Byron that the house is not up for rent. Tyler only wants to rent his house to white people. Tyler was being racist when he lied to Byron. Society does racist things. For example: There are many times where a Black person and a white person do the same crime. Usually, the Black person will go to jail for longer. The white person might not even go to jail! The way our society deals with crime is racist. It is set up to hurt Black people.

Abstract Beyond the Issues: A Linguistic and Conceptual Study of American Public Discourse by Pamela Sue Morgan Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics University of California, Berkeley Professor George Lakoff, Co-Chair Professor Eve Sweetser, Co-Chair Cultural cognitive models (CCMs) are learned and shared by members of cultural communities and serve as shortcuts to the presentation and understanding of communicative events, including public discourse. They are made up of "frames," here defined as prototypical representations of recurrent cultural experiences or historical references that contain culturally-agreed-upon sets of participants, event scenarios, and evaluations.

  • Engaging Diverse Communities 2 Units
    JOUR 372: Engaging Diverse Communities 2 Units Spring 2021 – Tuesdays – 12-1:40 p.m. Section: 21189D Location: Online Instructor: Dr. Allissa V. Richardson Office: Online Office Hours: Mondays, 12-4 p.m.; By appointment Course Description There is an adage amongst 21st-century activists that echoes often on Twitter. Grassroots leaders now tell journalists: “There is no such thing as ‘giving voice to the voiceless.’ We have voices. Just pass the mic.” This assertion—that a proverbial microphone has been withheld from some communities—is the key point of exploration for this course. In Engaging Diverse Communities, we study who has been left out of news discourse historically—and what you, as a future industry leader, can do about it. To achieve this, our course is divided into five parts: (1) Frames, (2) Rhetoric, (3) Actors, (4) Movements and (5) Elevation— or F.R.A.M.E., for short. In Unit 1 (Frames), we explore how the news has played a powerful role in creating and maintaining enduring narratives about our world. We question problematic news frames and discuss how we can create new ones. In Unit 2 (Rhetoric), we study how journalists talk about certain hot-button issues, and how word choices can either unite or divide a community. Accordingly, we examine some of journalism’s biggest recent “fails” to see how a bit of cultural competence in the newsroom might have gone a long way. In Unit 3 (Actors), we consider the many communities of people that journalism has either overlooked or maligned. Then, we explore how to find and amplify new voices.

    Vol. LXXXXVIII Jonathan Dayton High School May 2021 May 2021 Edition EDITORIAL BOARD Brielle & Nicole Ramundo Ms. Rooney-Kuhn Sarah Zarember Editors in Chief Advisor Opinions Editor EDITORIAL BOARD OPINION This year has definitely been challenging for the students at Jonathan Dayton. The new virtual setting has impacted everyone’s lives and schedules, and it can be hard to find the light in this dark situation. Not being able to have the normal high school experience for almost two school years is something that the students at Dayton never imagined. However, despite the current circumstances, it is imperative that we remember to make the best out of this situation, and to continue to look forward to the improvements the future is sure to hold. Just because we are interacting with teachers and classmates through a computer screen does not mean new goals cannot be achieved and memories cannot be made. If we look to the bright side of this situation and remain calm, patient, and hopeful, we will be back through Dayton’s doors very soon.

  • MOBILE INTERNET and the RISE of DIGITAL ACTIVISM AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS in NIGERIA Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doct
    MOBILE INTERNET AND THE RISE OF DIGITAL ACTIVISM AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN NIGERIA Thesis Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Canberra by Temple Uwalaka News and Media Research Centre Faculty of Arts and Design October, 2017 ABSTRACT ___________________________________________________________________________ Digital activism literature has proposed several ways in which social media impacts collective actions. These include providing news and information not available on traditional platforms, assisting in the coordination of protests, helping users to join political causes, creating opportunities for protestors to interact with one another, spreading enthusiasm and facilitating emotional contagion (Bennett & Segerberg, 2011, 2014; Chadwick & Howard, 2010; de- Zúñiga, Jung, & Valenzuela, 2012; Gerbaudo, 2012, 2016; Halupka, 2014, 2016; Reedy & Wells, 2010). However many of these previous works (a) do not focus upon mobile social networking applications, and (b) are located within either legacy democracies or authoritarian regimes. In order to bridge this research gap, this study focuses upon the use of mobile social networking applications to support digital activism within the nascent democracy of Nigeria, a country that has only recently returned from military dictatorship. Specifically, this study investigates the impact of mobile internet on the rise of digital activism among Nigerian university students from two universities in Nigeria during the 2012 Occupy Nigeria protest against the removal of petroleum subsidies by the Federal Government of Nigeria. The movement lasted for one month and took place in all the major cities in Nigeria. A mixed-methods approach was adopted featuring two principal methods: (a) a cross- sectional quantitative survey of media platforms used by protestors (n=440); and (b) semi- structured qualitative interviews on protestors’ experiences before, during and after Occupy Nigeria (n=19).
