  • Mediating Relationships: Social Media, Lay Catholics, and Church Hierarchy
    Mediating Relationships: Social Media, Lay Catholics, and Church Hierarchy A dissertation presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Mary Catherine Kennedy December 2014 © 2014 Mary Catherine Kennedy. All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled Mediating Relationships: Social Media, Lay Catholics, and Church Hierarchy by MARY CATHERINE KENNEDY has been approved for the School of Media Arts and Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Gregory D. Newton Associate Professor of Media Arts and Studies Scott Titsworth Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT KENNEDY, MARY CATHERINE, Ph.D., December 2014, Mass Communication Mediating Relationships: Social Media, Lay Catholics, and Church Hierarchy. Director of Dissertation: Gregory D. Newton This study represents one of the first forays into how the Catholic Church is using social media for organizational purposes. Through the lens of Jenkins’s (2006) theory of convergence culture, Fisher’s (1985; 1999) narrative paradigm, the public relations strategies surrounding relationship maintenance (Ledingham and Bruning, 1998), and Turner’s (1969) liminality, this study examined how lay Catholics and members of Church hierarchy within the Diocese of Browntown use social media space for religious dialogue and for connecting with one another. The findings suggest that there is desire for connectivity among lay Catholics and parish priests and that social media space does provide a great avenue to foster these connections, but the connections are very slow to be made at this time. In light of the Social Age (Azua, 2010), religious institutions, and most notably the Catholic Church, have been making efforts to use social media to harness the faith of their flock.

    TGIF: THANK GOODNESS IT’S FAMILY: FAMILY MESSAGES IN ABC’s 1990S FRIDAY NIGHT LINEUP by Kourtney Hanna Smith A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Mass Communication Middle Tennessee State University December 2015 Dr. Katherine Foss, Chair Dr. Jane Marcellus Dr. Jan Quarles ABSTRACT Early television sitcoms in the 1950s focused on families with traditional nuclear structures and conventional values. Almost four decades later, ABC’s Thank Goodness It’s Funny 1990s lineup featured families whose premise and themes were based on reconfiguring family structure. By studying television families in Full House (1987- 1995), Family Matters (1989-1998), Step-by-Step (1991-1998), Boy Meets World (1993- 2000), and Sister, Sister (1994-1999), we see traditional family values of love, friendship, togetherness, and instilling the importance of hard work and education in children. TGIF’s theme songs reconfigure the American family through song, and emphasize that reconfiguration leads to a better family. This narrative qualitative analysis of the TGIF lineup provided insight into how American sitcoms have evolved in ideologies about the family in-between the traditional early portrayals to today’s postmodern television families. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION.…………………………………………………………………….. 1 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND JUSTIFICATION………………………………. 3 CHAPTER 1: BACKGROUND………………………………………………………...5 Early Television Programming………………………………………………….5 1950s Families and Their Depictions…………………………………………...8
