Synopsis
This volume of Research in Social Movements, Conflicts and Change
explores the relationships between mass media, social movements,
and political change. Since Martin Luther nailed his Theses of
Contention on the Wittenberg Church door in 1517, scholars and
pundits have noted that the media play an important role in social and
political change. This volume advances scholarly understanding of
how activists and élites alike use books, newspapers, and internetenabled
technologies to effect change. Chapters include analyses
of the role of the media in the (Anti-)Abortion, Globalization, Labour,
Townsend, and White Power movements as well as Barack Obama’s
2008 campaign. Altogether, this volume suggests new avenues for
research, provides new insights into the strategic use and influence of
the media, and challenges existing assumptions of media-movement
relationships.
