{"title":"“We can do better. We can be better”: counter-narratives in true crime podcasts on domestic violence","authors":"Kelli S. Boling","doi":"10.1080/15295036.2023.2265982","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15295036.2023.2265982","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThrough three qualitative interviews with journalists who have produced and hosted true crime podcasts about domestic violence cases, this study examines the reciprocal interactions hosts can have with domestic violence survivors in their audiences. Also of significance is how these journalist-podcasters are working with their audience members to present counter-narratives that challenge the traditional media practice of silencing survivors, victims, and their loved ones. Building upon the interviews, a textual analysis of 43 episodes demonstrates how journalist-podcasters foreground stories of victims and advocacy for societal change to offer audiences a counter-narrative. In doing so, they generate awareness while simultaneously empowering victims to seek assistance and shed the stigma of shame that is prevalent in our society. These findings demonstrate the power of a reciprocal relationship between media producers and their audiences, specifically related to crime media coverage. This study demonstrates how true crime podcasters leverage audio storytelling to educate listeners and encourage systemic and societal change for survivors of domestic violence.KEYWORDS: True crimeadvocacycounter-narrativespodcastsdomestic violence Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 In this study, the term “victim” is used to identify someone who was killed or presumed killed during a domestic violence incident, and “survivor” is used to identify someone who experienced a domestic violence incident and lived. Other terms such as “victims’ families” and “victim-blaming” refer to both victims and/or survivors interchangeably.2 In this study, I use the term “host” and “producer” interchangeably. While those jobs have distinct duties, the podcasters I spoke to were hosts that crossed the producer line and had regular, significant input into production decisions. I also use the term “producer” as “someone who produces/makes a product,” not in specific reference to the job title. Additional informationNotes on contributorsKelli S. BolingKelli S.

Scholars have analyzed internet shutdowns as a method to control speech, which amounts to an infringement on the freedom of speech and expression. Additional studies have pointed out that such shutdowns directly interfere with the right to assembly. This paper adds to the existing scholarship by positing that internet shutdowns during mass protest movements interfere with a fundamental democracy-related value of the right to assembly, which, to borrow Salát’s phrase, is “the formation of political will and opinion.” Drawing on Foucault’s concept of biopolitics, the paper argues that shutdowns associated with collective protest should also be understood as an interference in the formation of political will and opinion by trying to manage the circulation of information and control a particular behavior, that is, dissent.KEYWORDS: Internet shutdownsFoucaultbiopoliticsfreedom of assemblyfarmers movementIndia AcknowledgmentsI am grateful to Prof. Nick Dyer-Witheford at the University of Western Ontario for his feedback on an earlier version of this paper, and for offering the term “network collapse” to understand how the internet works and how it can fail.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":47123,"journal":{"name":"Critical Studies in Media Communication","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135391243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Intergenerational Mujerista Latinidad: a comparative media analysis of <i>One Day at a Time</i> and <i>Jane the Virgin</i>","authors":"Zazil Reyes García, Claudia A. Evans-Zepeda","doi":"10.1080/15295036.2023.2264936","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15295036.2023.2264936","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTJane the Virgin (JTV) and One Day at a Time (ODAAT) are contemporary U.S. American shows that intervene in a traditional media landscape that has largely ignored Latinas/os/x and allow for a re-envisioning of Latina women as substantive characters. Both shows focus on three generations of Latinas and present a matriarchy of characters that expand our understanding of a mujerista Latinidad. In this essay, we analyze the intergenerational representations of these two series to illustrate how gender roles, sexuality, and the Latina body are portrayed through media messages that take up socially progressive themes in refreshing ways. Our analysis highlights a significant disruption of the conventional tropes that stereotype Latinas as maids, mothers, and housewives, deviating from the hypersexual and virginal dichotomy. Jointly, these two shows add new dimensions to televised depictions of Latinas; as such, our critique tracks the evolution of Latina tropes.KEYWORDS: Latina/o/x media representationMujerista Latinidad; gender rolesJane the VirginOne Day at A Time Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 We use the term “progressive,” similarly to how it is invoked in the political domain, which is about working towards the goal of implementing social reform or liberal ideas. Within media, we refer to the value of social progress, while advancing under-represented voices in the mainstream.2 We italicize mujerista Latinidad throughout our paper to align with Báez’s (Citation2007) use of italics in her concept of Latinidades feministas.3 Although the Villanuevas are portrayed as Venezuelan-American, the three lead actresses are Puerto Rican-American and Puerto Rican.4 Although the Alvarez family is Cuban-American, the lead actresses are Puerto Rican-American, Puerto Rican, and Colombian-American.5 One Day at a Time was cancelled from Netflix in early 2019; we opted not to include the episodes from the fourth and final season which were aired on POP TV network.6 Alba’s dialogue is originally in Spanish.","PeriodicalId":47123,"journal":{"name":"Critical Studies in Media Communication","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135818774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
