DRIVING NOWHERE with NEUTRALITY Can’T Journalists Be Both Storytellers and Humans with Perspectives, and in So Doing Still Arrive at a Truthful Destination? INSIDE: QUESTIONS IN IMMERSION JOURNALISM • 10 WITH MARGARET SULLIVAN • ENOUGH UNNAMED SOURCES? MARCH/APRIL 2017 DRIVING NOWHERE WITH NEUTRALITY Can’t journalists be both storytellers and humans with perspectives, and in so doing still arrive at a truthful destination? ANNUAL ETHICS ISSUE The Sigma Delta Chi Foundation announces the Eugene S. Pulliam First Amendment Award to honor a person or persons who have fought to protect and preserve one or more of the rights guaranteed by the First Amend- ment. Mr. Pulliam, who passed away in January 1999, was well-known for consistently using his own considerable influence and that of his newspaper to support activities that educated the public about First Amendment rights and values. The Sigma Delta Chi Foundation has established this annual award to honor those committed to the same goals as a tribute to the professional contributions that Eugene S. Pulliam made to journalism and to the freedoms outlined in the First Amendment. At the Excellence in Journalism 2017 Conference, the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation will honor an individual, group of individuals or organization with a $10,000 cash award and an engraved statue. The honoree(s) also will receive transportation to the conference in New Orleans, La. Nominations are open to any person, persons or organization in the U.S. or its territories who have worked to protect the basic rights provided by the First Amend- ment. Honorees do not have to be journalists. In fact, the Foundation encourages recognition of those outside the journalism profession for their First Amendment efforts and initiatives, such as, but not limited to, public officials, members of the legal profession, scholars, educators, librarians, students and ordinary citizens. Visit spj.org/a-pulliam.asp for nomination information. Call: 317/920-4788 | Email: [email protected] The Eugene S. Pulliam First Amendment Award is a project of the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation.

THE NOMINATION DEADLINE IS JUNE 22, 2017 MARCH/APRIL 2017 VOLUME 105 NUMBER 2 FEATURES IMMERSION AVERSION 14 The concept of “immersion journalism” isn’t new. It’s inherent in the New Journalism and gonzo-style reporting of the past 50 years. But being embedded in and experiencing a story as subjects and 5 10 sources see it doesn’t necessarily mean taking a Hunter S. Thomp- son approach to reporting. It does, however, open up journalists to seeing a story from a different angle — and comes with a litany of ethical considerations. NO NEUTRALITY 24 Few terms in journalism are as used — or argued over – as the notion of objectivity. Can anyone really be objective or neutral in everything they do, see and report? Aren’t we really looking for fairness and accuracy? Don’t we all bring our identities, experienc- es and worldviews to everything we do? Lewis Wallace was fired from his job as a reporter for the public media show “Marketplace” for writing — and refusing to delete — a personal blog post ex- plaining his thoughts on neutrality as a transgender journalist. Wallace explains why he thinks no journalist can truly be neutral. 14 DEPARTMENTS 3 FROM THE PRESIDENT 5 SPJ REPORT 10 10 WITH MARGARET SULLIVAN 12 QUILL THROUGH THE YEARS TOOLBOX 9 NARRATIVE WRITING Heart and soul is more than a catchy piano song.

  • Gamergate, Eine Retrospektive
    GamerGate Eine Retrospektive November 2020 @KeinenPixel_de [email protected] keinenpixel.de @KeinenPixel_de GAMERGATE, EINE RETROSPEKTIVE Abstract: GamerGate war eine 2014 beginnende anti-feministische und rechtsextreme Bewegung, die große Teile der Computer- und Videospielszene sowie angrenzende Bereiche der Popkultur erfasste und weitreichende politische Folgen nach sich zog. Anhand von Primär-, wie auch Sekundärquellen zeichnet diese Retrospektive die Entwicklung von GamerGate in drei Phasen nach: Wie sich 1.) aus persönlicher Rache und den unkoordinierten Angriffen auf Einzelpersonen eine 2.) breite, anti-feministische Bewegung herausbildete, die sich 3.) mit rechtsextremen Elementen zu einer politischen Bewegung vereint. Diese wurde maßgeblich von Steve Bannon initiiert, der damit den Wahlkampf von Donald Trump in den USA unterstützte. Wie der vierte und letzte Teil darstellt, nimmt GamerGate deshalb noch heute eine Schlüsselposition in der Entwicklung der neuen Rechten ein, die Popkultur mit rechtsextremer Politik verbindet. Bestehende Tendenzen und kleinere Strömungen haben sich in GamerGate vereinigt, weshalb die Bewegung einen neue Möglichkeit zur Rekrutierung und Radikalisierung am rechten Rand gebildet hat. Obwohl GamerGate bereits oft in Artikeln thematisiert wurde, gibt es nur wenige Gesamtüberblicke über die Entwicklung der Bewegung. Die Retrospektive will als ausführliche deutschsprachige Ressource zukünftige Arbeit mit dem Thema erleichtern.

  • “No Left, No Right – Only the Game”
    “No Left, No Right – Only the Game” A Netnographic Study of the Online Community r/KotakuInAction Master of Arts: Media and Communication Studies – Culture, Collaborative Media, and Creative Industries Master’s Thesis (Two-year) | 15 credits Student: Oskar Larsson Supervisor: Maria Brock Year: 2021 Word Count: 15,937 Abstract This thesis examines how 'othering' discourse can be used to construct and negotiate boundaries and shape collective identities within online spaces. Through a mixed-method approach of thematic analysis and a netnographic study, and by drawing on theoretical concepts of online othering and identity formation, this thesis explores how the Gamergate community r/KotakuInAction can be understood in relation to Gamergate, the Alt-Right and society at large. The results show that the community perceive and construct the SJW as a common adversary – a monstrous representation of feminism, progressiveness and political correctness. The analysis also revealed how racist rhetorics and white male anxieties characterize the communitys' othering discourse. Through an in-depth study of user-submitted comment, this thesis argues that r/KotakuInAction's collective identity is fluid and reactionary in nature, characterized by a discourse that is indicative of Alt-Right ideology and white male supremacy. Future research should further explore the network of communities that r/KotakuInAction is part of, as well as examine how the community transform over time.

  • Gamergate and Resistance to the Diversification of Gaming Culture
    64 COMMENTARY: GamerGate and resistance to the diversification of gaming culture CHERIE TODD It is reported that there are now over one billion people worldwide who play multimedia video games, and the typical ‘gamer’ stereotype (mid 20s, single, white male) no longer applies (Reilly, 2015). Games are growing increasingly more pervasive as well as more social, and are now available any time on multiple platforms (PC, Xbox and PlayStation) and devices such as smart phones and iPads. Within less than a decade, video games have gone from being a niche area of entertainment for a few, to a mass medium that appeals to people of all ages and genders. Research continues to show an increase in the number of women who are now gaming, with the genders almost reaching parity. These statistics, however, tend to focus on gaming as a whole, and ignore gender splits within particular games and/or countries, where in many online games women are often a minority. As a result of this gender imbalance, the culture of games continues to be heavily influenced by highly masculinist discourse. There is an increasing diversification of gaming culture that is occurring due to the growing popularity of games. While many perceive this to be a positive step, there are some who are resistant to these fundamental shifts and who do not want the culture of games to change. Users of the hashtag #GamerGate have been the most vocal in their resistance to these changes. In 2014 reports of GamerGate activities started to circulate more widely, becoming a topical issue in the USA where news outlets began to describe the emergence of a ‘culture war’ over the diversification of gaming culture.

  • Annual Report 2018-2019 a Note from the Chair
    Annual Report 2018-2019 A Note from the Chair As WFF chair for the period 2017-2019, I am working on gender equity and policy in several different ways. First, as a linguist and social scientist, I am interested in ‘representation’ – that is, the ways in which gender, diversity, and equity are discussed on campus: who focuses on them, how we talk about them, and how we can be more effective in advancing our shared aims of an inclusive campus, where all faculty can do their best work. As a researcher, I am interested in using the data collected by organizations on campus to study the impacts of existing policies and procedures. WFF’s leadership on diversity, equity, and inclusion stems from three principles: first, we reject the idea that there is a trade-off between diversity and excellence. Diversity is excellence. As researchers, we understand that knowledge and insight come through many different paths. Secondly, inclusion and respect are at the base of good scholarship. No one can do their best work if they are being undermined or intimidated. Ideas are valued on their merits, and should not be revalued according to who says them. And, finally, we strive to build these principles into what we do at the foundation, not as a nod to some token idea of “diversity talk” or “virtue signaling” at the end. WFF, as one of the few organizations on campus which reaches across Schools and Divisions, has a vital role on campus as a place for research, for advocacy, and for community and mentoring.

  • The Tragedy of the Gamer: a Dramatistic Study of Gamergate By
    The Tragedy of the Gamer: A Dramatistic Study of GamerGate by Mason Stephen Langenbach A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Auburn, Alabama May 5, 2019 Keywords: dramatism, scapegoat, mortification, GamerGate Copyright 2019 by Mason Stephen Langenbach Approved by Michael Milford, Chair, Professor of Communication Andrea Kelley, Professor of Media Studies Elizabeth Larson, Professor of Communication Abstract In August 2014, a small but active group of gamers began a relentless online harassment campaign against notable women in the videogame industry in a controversy known as GamerGate. In response, game journalists from several prominent gaming websites published op-eds condemning the incident and declared that “gamers are dead.” Using Burke’s dramatistic method, this thesis will examine these articles as operating within the genre of tragedy, outlining the journalists’ efforts to scapegoat the gamer. It will argue that game journalists simultaneously engaged in mortification not to purge the guilt within themselves but to further the scapegoating process. An extension of dramatistic theory will be offered which asserts that mortification can be appropriated by rhetors seeking to ascend within their social order’s hierarchy. ii Acknowledgments This project was long and arduous, and I would not have been able to complete it without the help of several individuals. First, I would like to thank all of my graduate professors who have given me the gift of education and knowledge throughout these past two years. To the members of my committee, Dr. Milford, Dr. Kelley, and Dr.

  • Examining the Magazine Industry Standard
    POINT OF VIEW: EXAMINING THE MAGAZINE INDUSTRY STANDARD A Thesis presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of Missouri In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by CRISTINA DAGLAS John Fennell, Thesis Supervisor MAY 2009 © Copyright by Cristina Daglas 2009 All Rights Reserved The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the thesis entitled POINT OF VIEW : EXAMINING THE MAGAZINE INDUSTRY STANDARD presented by Cristina Daglas, a candidate for the degree of master of arts, and hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Professor John Fennell Professor Jennifer Rowe Professor Amanda Hinnant Professor Maureen Stanton ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am immensely grateful to my thesis chair, John Fennell, who believed in both the necessity for and the feasibility of this research. When many doubted the ability to interview prominent magazine professionals, John provided support and guidance while always keeping setbacks and successes in perspective. John has been a mentor from first semester of graduate school when I enrolled in his writing course, and I am so pleased that I could pursue a topic I am incredibly passionate about with his guidance. However, this research would naturally not be what it is without the rest of my fabulous committee. Jennifer Rowe, my other mentor, adviser and friend, was an invaluable resource, as she provided big-picture edits, line edits and, most importantly, support. Amanda Hinnant provided advice in the earliest days of thesis conception as well as the scholarly perspective necessary in any academic work. Maureen Stanton was also a wonderful resource, imparting an outside, nonfiction mindset that added another dimension to this journalistic thesis.
