Media Strategies of Russian Opposition in Exile: Values, Visibility, and Virtual MobilisationChumakov, Aleksei January 2023 (has links)
This thesis examines the media strategies employed by leading figures and organizations in the Russian political opposition landscape, namely Alexei Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation (ACF), Dmitry Gudkov's Secretariat of European Russians, Mikhail Khodorkovsky's Russian Action Committee, Feminist Anti-War Resistance, and Ilya Ponomarev. Using critical discourse analysis as its core methodology, the study aims to unravel the complex dynamics between stated values and media strategies. The strategies analyzed include 'Investigative Outreach,' 'Diaspora Engagement,' 'Media Magnate Mobilisation,' 'Grassroots Guerrilla Artivism,' and 'Dual Role Diplomacy.' The study is framed within the theoretical constructs of social constructivism and media frame theory. These frameworks allow for a critical examination of how the media strategies of these entities are socially constructed and framed, thereby shaping public perception and narrative. Key findings reveal that although these strategies amplify political reach and influence, they also pose challenges such as dilution of core messages and ethical quandaries.

Independent Voices: Third Sector Media Development and Local Governance in Saskatchewan2015 March 1900 (has links)
This dissertation examines nonprofit, co-operative, and volunteer media enterprises operating outside Saskatchewan’s state and commercial media sectors. Drawing on historical research and contemporary case studies, I take the position that this third sector of media activity has played, and continues to play, a much-needed role in engaging marginalized voices in social discourse, encouraging participation in community-building and local governance, fostering local-global connectedness, and holding power to account when the rights and interests of citizens are jeopardized. The cases studied reveal a surprising level of resiliency among third sector media enterprises; however, the research also finds that the challenges facing third sector media practitioners have deepened considerably in recent decades, testing this resiliency. A rapid withdrawal of media development support from the public sphere has left Saskatchewan’s third sector media at a crossroads. The degree of the problem is largely unknown outside media practitioner circles, even among civil society allies. I argue this relates to the lack of recognition of nonprofit, co-operative, and volunteer media as a distinct third sector, thus obscuring the global impact when hundreds of small undertakings shed staff and reduce operations in multiple locations across Canada. At the same time, there is increasing recognition that such media have the potential to fill a void left by commercial and state media organizations that have retreated from local communities. Accordingly, this dissertation makes the case for a coordinated media development strategy as a component of the social economy. The challenge is to build useful mechanisms of support among civil society allies that do not replicate oppressive donor-client relationships that are all too common in the arena of governmental and private sector support. While never simple, the opportunities and social benefits are considerable when citizens devise the means to participate in the creation of a robust, diverse media ecology.

Radical Media, Social Movement Framing and the Georgia StraightWillett, Cody 30 August 2013 (has links)
The central goal of this thesis is to direct attention to the underappreciated role that radical media has played in communicating social movement messages, which challenge dominant discourses and politicize youth culture, by helping advance master protest frames, reframe collective identities and promote movement-specific collective action frames. To demonstrate the relationship between radical media and movements, this thesis identifies a gap in social movement research regarding how movements communicate reframed meaning to participants. Furthermore, to address this lacuna, it proceeds to assess the movement-oriented content and discursive master, collective identity and collective action frames found in Vancouver’s ‘underground’ newspaper, the Georgia Straight, between 1967 and 1969. The research into these frames supports the argument that Georgia Straight in this period did act as a form of radical media, reflecting and reinforcing the broader social movement of youth radicalism in existence at the time. / Graduate / 0615 / 0391 / 0352 / willett.cody@gmail.com

以變為常，台灣另類╱獨立媒體的新聞實踐—以《上下游新聞市集》為例 / The Journalistic Practices of Alternative Media in Taiwan : The Analysis of News & Market盧易詩, Lu, Yi Shih Unknown Date (has links)
本研究採行塊莖思維為研究取徑探勘台灣另類／獨立媒體的新聞實踐。考量到時間限制且本研究不以發掘台灣另類／獨立媒體的群像為研究目的，研究者選擇以《上下游新聞市集》新聞部門為研究案例，藉由參與觀察法、深度訪談法深描上下游新聞如何產製報導、歷經哪些轉變、內部如何互動等與新聞產製有關的面向，並從「與變共處」的塊莖生成觀點，檢視其「以變為常」的新聞實踐面貌與生成。
研究發現，上下游新聞會隨著組織人事流動、讀者閱讀習慣改變、內容市場競爭等內外情境變動而調整組織編制與報導產製模式，但因內部成員對於調整方向與幅度未能協商出共識，內部衝突因而日增。對此，上下游新聞目前試圖藉由共同守門模式以及制度化的組織運作降低內部衝突發生機會。
再者，從上下游新聞與域外物的互動經驗可以發現，臉書等社群平台是上下游新聞重要的消息來源與露出管道，對上下游新聞的報導產製影響重大。
另一方面，隨著組織受到各種內外情境變動的刺激，上下游新聞成員逐漸展現各自對於媒體角色定位的見解差異，成員紛紛在突破疆域界線的分裂點上，表明自己如何認知媒體角色定位，並由此開創不同於以往的新聞實踐樣貌。 / This thesis takes the notion of rhizome as a research approach to explore the journalistic practices of alternative media in Taiwan.
Considering time limitation and the purpose of this research, the researcher adopts the methods of depth interview and participable observation to examine the journalistic practice of research object in this thesis—“News & Market.” At the same time, the researcher looks into journalistic practices via Deleuze and Guattari’s notion of “rhizome” and “becoming.”
According to the study, along with the context change, News & Market constantly adjusts its organizational structure and the way it produces news. However, since journalists cannot often reach an agreement altogether, the organizational conflicts would gradually increase. For now, News & Market manages to reduce the possibilities of organizational conflicts through the ways of “joint gatekeeping production mode” and “institutional operation of the organization.”
Moreover, the study indicates that social media platform, taking the example of Facebook, has a huge influence on the news production of News & Market.
At last, because of the growing influence of context change, the journalists of News & Market show different cognition on their role positions. When there is the time of different points of view, the journalists would cross the border to provide different ideas and develop the journalistic practices that are different from the past.

A Pedagogy of Holistic Media Literacy: Reflections on Culture Jamming as Transformative Learning and HealingStasko, Carly 14 December 2009 (has links)
This qualitative study uses narrative inquiry (Connelly & Clandinin, 1988, 1990, 2001) and self-study to investigate ways to further understand and facilitate the integration of holistic philosophies of education with media literacy pedagogies. As founder and director of the Youth Media Literacy Project and a self-titled Imagitator (one who agitates imagination), I have spent over 10 years teaching media literacy in various high schools, universities, and community centres across North America. This study will focus on my own personal practical knowledge (Connelly & Clandinin, 1982) as a culture jammer, educator and cancer survivor to illustrate my original vision of a ‘holistic media literacy pedagogy’. This research reflects on the emergence and impact of holistic media literacy in my personal and professional life and also draws from relevant interdisciplinary literature to challenge and synthesize current insights and theories of media literacy, holistic education and culture jamming.
