Viewing Power, Politics, and Loss: A Critical Discourse Analysis of the Mass Media’s Representations of Teacher Unions in the United States and the Consequences Concerning Policy A Dissertation Presented for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree The University of Tennessee, Knoxville Melissa Ann Harness December 2016 Copyright © 2016 by Melissa Ann Harness All rights reserved. ii This dissertation is dedicated to all those who asked me ‘Why?’ Expressly, my loving and often frustrated husband, Adam. ‘Why are you doing this?’ ‘Why are you not doing that?’ ‘Why would you even think about having done those? The one ‘Why’ for you— ‘Why do you still love me so much?’ iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first personally like to thank Dr. Barbara Thayer-Bacon for her tireless efforts in helping push me to the finish line. I have known Dr. Thayer-Bacon for many years and she has offered me support, encouragement, understanding, and more knowledge than I will ever know what to do with. Her often brutal honesty has helped me more than she will ever know. So, thank you Dr. Barb. I would also like to thank others in my department, including, Dr. Lisa Yamagata-Lynch, who has lent me both an ear and advice when I most needed it. Also, I would like to thank Beverley Cate, Christine Tidwell and April Phillips of which without your help and support I would not have been able to survive many times over. I have made many life-long friends while working on this degree and I would like to say thank you to each and every one of them. Sultana, Amanda, Anne, Brittney, Sherrie, Sheryse, Brian, Jaewoo, Brenda, and Su, you all have kept me sane, made me laugh, and been a wonderful support system that has helped keep me together through my degree: So, thank you all. Finally, I would like to thank my family for supporting and helping me through this long and stressful process of endless writing, and worrying if I am indeed good enough to be earning this degree. Thank you, Dennis and Carol Sieberg, for helping with familial obligations both financially and emotionally. You two have been a part of this since the beginning and without your support, none of it would have been possible. Thank you, Bailey Castille, for putting up with my endless prattle about neoliberalism and social capital, and being the most responsible big brother anyone could ever hope for. Thank you, Samuel Harness, for giving me lots of hugs and love, and no matter how frustrated I became with what I was doing, always caring enough to get me through it. And thank you Adam Harness for always loving me no matter how crazy I got. Your support and help means more to me than the words I am writing here can ever express. Thank you and I will forever be grateful. And I thank God most of all, for all that He has given me and continues to. Without Him, I would have never met any of these people or written this dissertation. iv ABSTRACT From 2011 to 2012, in Wisconsin, Governor Scott Walker and legislative republicans passed ACT- 10, a law severely limiting public sector/teachers union’s collective bargaining rights. This legislative effort shocked the nation with the bold move toward stricter regulations concerning the public sector, as Wisconsin is historically one of the most progressive states concerning labor within the United States. Teachers unions within the state took ACT-10 as an assault on their very profession. Shortly before the passing of the act, sit-ins and protests abounded within the capital of Madison that caught attention from both the local and national media. To answer questions pertaining to the media, policy, government, and public sector unions, this dissertation analyzes articles from three major newspaper sources (The New York Times, The Wisconsin State Journal, and The Capital Times) from 2011-2015, utilizing both critical discourse analysis and philosophy, to examine the media’s framing of the issues pertaining to public sector/teacher unions within Wisconsin. By analyzing these media sources, three data strands emerged: The Language of Battle, Neoliberalistic Discourses, and Teacher as a Defunct Agent. The three strands reveal a picture that illuminates the unions and the teacher members as the ‘enemy’ that is destroying the education system within the United States. All the while, the government is portrayed as the savior of the education system by passing policies that restrict the unions, eliminating their “corruption,” and giving control of the education system seemingly back to the teachers and administrators. However, at the same time, the teachers’ accountability and professionalism were found to also be called into question within this media framework. By portraying such a politically motivated agenda, fueled by ideas surrounding neoliberalism, the media creates social justice issues, such as hegemony, whereby they call into question the need and abilities of such organizations as unions within a highly globalized society. Per the findings of this research: what is at stake is the future of what working in America will look like with portrayals such as what can be found within the discourse presented to the public through the media. v TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION ............................................................................................. 1 Arbitrating Media and Policy Dynamics .................................................................................... 7 Equality, Equity, and Social Justice: Examining Issues of Power ............................................ 13 In the End. ............................................................................................................................. 18 CHAPTER TWO: A HISTORY OF PUBLIC SECTOR AND TEACHER UNIONS ................ 20 Give Us Something Worthy to Stand Upon .............................................................................. 21 The Stage is Set: Teacher Unions in Context ........................................................................... 31 History Culmination.................................................................................................................. 37 CHAPTER THREE: METHODOLOGY ..................................................................................... 40 Critical Discourse Analysis: A Brief History ........................................................................... 41 The Undergirding of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) ........................................................ 43 The Importance of the Mass Media .......................................................................................... 53 So How Does It Work? … A Workable Methodological Framework...................................... 61 The Research Situation and the Procedures of Investigation.................................................... 65 About the Newspapers and Their Articles ................................................................................ 66 Data Collection Methods .......................................................................................................... 71 Research Questions ................................................................................................................... 77 CHAPTER FOUR: ANALYSIS ................................................................................................... 78 Critical Discourse Analysis....................................................................................................... 80 Strand One: The Language of Battle ...................................................................................

  • Summer 2021 | Commemorative Program Welcome
    Summer 2021 | Commemorative Program Welcome The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Leadership Foundation and the National Association of Broadcasters welcome you to the 2021 Celebration of Service to America Awards. Every day, local radio and television stations provide a critical public service by delivering essential news, weather and entertainment their communities rely on every day, as well as a lifeline during times of crisis. When the mics and cameras turn off, these stations continue their good work through charitable efforts and service to their communities. This year was no exception as our finalists devoted 3,528 hours of airtime to public service and addressed the unique challenges of COVID-19 within their communities. In total, more than $43,440,000 worth of funds and donations were raised to support local charities across the country to help fight hunger, fill gaps in education and provide support to local businesses and charities. The importance and impact of broadcasting has never been greater. While we cannot celebrate in person this year, we are thankful for the support of our broadcasting community and Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution as we recognize the work and share the stories of our fellow broadcasters. We are honored that the 23rd annual Celebration of Service to America Awards will once again be broadcast across the country by local radio and television stations as a special one-hour awards ceremony featuring celebrity guests, past honorees and policymakers beginning July 10 through August 14. Emmy award-winning host Tamron Hall and other celebrity guests will honor local radio and television stations and community leaders like Lin-Manuel Miranda for their unwavering commitment to the communities they serve.
