About this Mini-Course
Since the 1970's there has been extensive research on the relationship between social protest and the media. The primary aim of this course is to show the main lines of work in this field of research which we currently call Social Protest and Media Studies. Specifically, the course will focus on the media coverage of social protest, with special attention to how media representations of social protest are discursively constructed.
The course may be of interest to both students and researchers who study media discourse and social movements, and more specifically, news and social protest. It is also relevant for journalists who cover social protests as well as for activists or members of social collectives who have contact with the media.
