Media-Based Drivers and Consequences of Protests
Sat, September 7, 8:00 to 9:30am, Marriott Philadelphia Downtown, Franklin 4Session Submission Type: Created Panel
Session Description
Protests represent peaceful means of challenging the power status-quo and have led to significant political change domestically and internationally. Media images and frames have played an important role in creating the grievances that drive citizens to protest. On the other hand, protests viewed through the media can potentially motive larger members of the public to join social and political movements and shift public discourse and opinion. The papers in this panel examine these issues from a number of angles.
