The ethics of care is an important and helpful framework for promoting diversity by “teaching journalists to incorporate more sustained and focused attention to the suffering and discrimination of vulnerable groups in society” (p. 82). Care ethics is more important for journalism given the crisis in trust and democracy that requires journalists to be reflective and responsive to the needs of the community in addition to traditional ethical principles of accuracy, transparency, and fairness. Unfortunately, the book’s structure fails to do justice to some of the strong and useful contributions for both academics and media professionals. Having said that, the abundant examples sprinkled throughout the book present a useful guide for media professors to deepen the understanding of students’ care ethics. The book is bound to start conversations regarding an idea that is central to the future of journalism ethics and diversity and centers on embracing empathy and emotions in the news media.","PeriodicalId":48095,"journal":{"name":"Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly","volume":"100 1","pages":"708 - 709"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46596647","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}

Theoretically, we engage with social movement action repertoires to study the shifts in protest tactics associated with the social restrictions during the early stages of the pandemic. A qualitative content analysis of 781 posts across all 27 national FFF Facebook pages in the European Union reveals four clusters of digital action types: digital contentious actions; online information and education; digital community engagement and online partnership development. While digital media were part of FFF's action repertoire in pre-pandemic times, our findings yield that the shift from the movement's iconic street protests to exclusively digital tactics privileges community-building and education over contentious actions, potentially softening the political impact of the movement's landmark 'school strike'. Furthermore, although timely tactical flexibility kept the movement going during country lockdowns, the forced digitalization in the early stages of the pandemic primarily recombined existing action tactics rather than innovating them.</p>","PeriodicalId":48095,"journal":{"name":"Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly","volume":"85 1","pages":"570-585"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9791069/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87381652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So, Martin concludes it was only natural for them to look for a new icon to ensure their survival. Third, Martin unpacks this constituency’s passive acceptance of Trump. Martin says Christian evangelicals carried out a mantra of “give it to God but still vote as God would have you to.” Now that Trump was interwoven neatly into this constituency’s narrative, they could passively ignore his dissimilar faults and vote for him (p. 77). Particularly in Chapter 6, Martin exemplifies this passivism in how evangelicals overlooked the contradictions of faith presented by Trump’s sexual abuse allegations. From reviewing live digital video recordings, blogs, and social media posts of women pastors and evangelical leaders who were anti-Trump, Martin’s core argument emerges: that the hypocrisy of the narrative Trump has been written into is fallible and that women are the demographic to collapse this narrative. The most significant contribution of this book is that it opens the door for future studies to examine the breaks in consubstantial rhetoric of Christian groups who have written Trump out of their narratives. We have seen in the 2022 midterms evidence of Martin’s claims given that women turned the tide against the red wave by disrupting the evangelical narrative surrounding Trumpism for its ad verrecundiam hypocrisy. By integrating ourselves through digital rhetorical ethnography, rhetoricians can uncover passive hegemonic forces in a digitized, polarized political environment.","PeriodicalId":48095,"journal":{"name":"Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly","volume":"100 1","pages":"701 - 702"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46303162","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}
