This book explores and explains how traditional and alternative media have framed the issues of gun trafficking into Mexico, drug-related violence, and spillover violence. It reveals how gun trafficking and drug-related violence are social problems for Mexico, while spillover violence is portrayed as a moral panic for the US.Readers will gain a better understanding of how the media portrays and frames the criminal activity that is occurring in Mexico and how it impacts the US. The book analyzes national newspapers from both sides of the US-Mexico border-The New York Times and El Universal-and draws on a theoretical framework of moral panics, social problems, and cultivation theory. It reveals six framing devices, "the blame game," "worthy and unworthy victims," "positive aspects," "negative aspects of gun trafficking," "indirect mention of gun trafficking," and "direct mention of gun trafficking," which are utilized by The New York Times and El Universal to discuss and frame the issue of gun trafficking into Mexico and its impact on Mexico's border violence.Mexico's Drug-Related Violence will be of great interest to students and scholars interested in the perception of media and crime, as well as those researching the topic of drug cartels and drug-related violence.

This book provides a critical study of the power, trust, and legitimacy of algorithmic gatekeepers.The news and public information which citizens see and hear is no longer solely determined by journalists, but increasingly by algorithms. Van Dalen demonstrates the gatekeeping power of social media algorithms by showing how they affect exposure to diverse information and misinformation and shape the behaviour of professional communicators. Trust and legitimacy are foregrounded as two crucial antecedents for the acceptance of this algorithmic power. This study reveals low trust among the general population in algorithms performing journalistic tasks and a perceived lack of legitimacy of algorithmic power among professional communicators. Drawing on case studies from YouTube and Instagram, this book challenges technological deterministic discourse around "filter bubbles" and "echo chambers" and shows how algorithmic power is situated in the interplay between platforms, audiences, and professional communicators. Ultimately, trustworthy algorithms used by news organizations and social media platforms as well as algorithm literacy training are proposed as ways forward towards democratic algorithmic gatekeeping.Presenting a nuanced perspective which challenges the deep divide between techno-optimistic and techno-pessimistic discourse around algorithms, Algorithmic Gatekeeping is recommended reading for journalism and communication researchers in related fields.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.
The romance publishing landscape in the Philippines is vast and complex, characterised by entangled industrial players, diverse kinds of texts, and siloed audiences. This Element maps the large, multilayered, and highly productive sector of the Filipino publishing industry. It explores the distinct genre histories of romance fiction in this territory and the social, political and technological contexts that have shaped its development. It also examines the close connections between romance publishing and other media sectors alongside unique reception practices. It takes as a central case study the Filipino romance self-publishing collective #RomanceClass, analysing how they navigate this complex local landscape as well as the broader international marketplace. The majority of scholarship on romance fiction exclusively focuses on the Anglo-American industry. By focusing here on the Philippines, the authors hope to disrupt this phenomenon, and to contribute to a more decentred, rhizomatic approach to understanding this genre world.

Acclaimed sportswriter Gary D'Amato provides a hilarious look at what it was like growing up as a boy in middle class middle America in the 1960s.A three-time Wisconsin sportswriter of the year and member of the Wisconsin State Golf Hall of Fame, D'Amato's ninth book takes us to his roots in suburban Milwaukee as he provides insight into several of his childhood triumphs and traumas, many of which we all can relate to.D'Amato's adventures include such events as:¿The time he met a real, live member of The Beatles.¿Playing an awkward game of "Spin the Bottle" at his birthday party.¿His pet gerbil, Frisky, taking a ride in a homemade rocket.¿The most embarrassing moment of his life, which occurred during eighth-grade gym class.¿His one and only deer hunting experience.¿The guilt and shame of being a fifth-grade thief.¿A death-defying scooter ride with his "motorcycle gang."Whatever topic he's writing about, D'Amato employs an easy-to-digest style that he honed through more than 40 years as a sports journalist that informs and entertains as readers gobble up the nostalgic look back to a time before smart phones, VCRs, and cable television.D'Amato has authored or co-authored eight other books, including Mudbaths and Bloodbaths: The Inside Story of the Bears-Packers Rivalry with Cliff Cristl, Alive and Kicking: My Journey Through Football, Addiction and Life with Chester Marcol, and two books on golf.A Perfect Childhood is a series of superbly told coming-of-age stories that will entertain fans of not only the 1960s and nostalgia, but also anyone interested in all the typical experiences of childhood (i.e., trying to fit in, learning to accept responsibility, trying to make our parents proud).

You'll cheer his successes and mourn his failures, while recalling your own in a similar light.
The women in this volume of the Heads and Tales series have a way with words. They are remarkable women, all with remarkable and sometimes extraordinary stories.Jim Stovall, in this volume, brings us his unique journalistic and artistic vision of women who whose writings and lives were always notable, sometimes notorious, and occasionally astonishing. Some of these women, such as Louisa May Alcott, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Eleanor Roosevelt, you will have heard of or read. Others will have receded - often unfairly - into the mists of history.What you will find here about each of these women is something new - some part of their story that you had never known.For instance:Louisa May Alcott, famously the author of Little Women, was also A.M. Bernard, author of what was in her time known as the "blood and thunder" novel, the gothic sensationalism that many readers of her day craved. Such writing put food on her family's table.Aphra Behn, possibly the first female writer in English to make her living as a writer, was not only a popular playwright but also a spy for King Charles I.Anne Brontë, the least well known of the Brontë sisters, wrote the most shocking and forward-looking feminist novel of them all - a novel that sister Charlotte hardily disapproved of.Rachel Harding Davis, mother of the famous journalist and early 20th century heart-throb Richard Harding Davis, supported her family by writing some of the first American realism stories - decades before her male counterparts in the realism school took up their pens.And we haven't even gotten to page 25 yet.There are many more such stories: the first female presidential candidate; the first American detective novelist; the first voice from the White House after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The list goes on.And then there are the caricatures. These drawings by the author add insight and entertainment to this unique collection.In addition to the women mentioned above, discover the stories of Helen Gurley Brown, Maxine Cheshire, Mary Mapes Dodge, Mary Anne Evans (George Elliot), Wanda Gág, Martha Gellhorn, Susan Glaspell, Anna Katherine Green, Angelina Grimké and Sarah Grimké, Fannie Lou Hamer, Lillian Hellman, Mary McCarthy, Marguerite Higgins, Emma Lazarus, Caroline Norton, Helen Kirkpatrick, Anne Ratcliffe, Catherine Parr, Mary Seacole, Elizabeth Cochran Seaman (Nellie Bly), Ida Tarbell, Dorothy Thompson, Mercy Otis Warren, Victoria Woodhull.
When Tommie Gorman was growing up in Sligo in the 1960s, struggle was never far away but his household had a surplus of love and warmth. From modest beginnings as a local reporter at the Western Journal, where his deadlines were dependent on the bus schedule, Tommie landed at RTE, taking up the post of North-West correspondent in 1980. Over the next four decades he became a familiar presence in Irish homes, known forhis coverage of Europe and Northern Ireland, as well as his unforgettable interviews with controversial figures including Gerry Adams, Roy Keane, Ian Paisley and Arlene Foster.While revelling in his life as a journalist, he was also coping with the cancer diagnosis he received in 1994 and seeking ways to access life-saving treatments for patients who shared his rare form of the disease.In this insightful and generous book, Tommie takes readers behind the scenes and shares some of his memories from Sligo to Stormont, via Brussels and Sweden, as he recounts forty extraordinary years of Irish history from his front-row seat and looks at what may lie ahead for the island.

A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 'A small masterpiece. There is something funny, notable or awe-inspiring on every single page' Jenny Colgan, SpectatorA joyful celebration of books the perfect gift for bibliophiles, word lovers and anyone who's ever wondered, should you judge a book by its cover? We love the words in books but what about the words on them? How do they work their magic? Here is a book about the ways books entice us to read them: their titles, quotes, covers and, above all, blurbs via authors from Jane Austen to Zadie Smith, writing tricks, classic literature, bonkbusters, plot spoilers and publishing secrets. It's nothing less than the inside story of the outside of books.And it answers questions like: Why do some authors hate blurbs so much they burn their own books? Should all adjectives be murdered? Is blurbing sometimes maybe lying? Is it true that (checks jacket) you need an animal on a book's cover to make it a bestseller? What are the most terrible blurbs of all time? Join Penguin publishing word wizard Louise Willder five thousand blurbs written, mostly avoiding the phrase ';unputdownable tour-de-force' to discover why we should judge a book by its cover. Even this one. (It's an unputdownable tour-de-force.)';The bookiest book about books you'll ever read I loved it' Lucy Mangan ';Truly delightful...I couldn't have had more fun' Benjamin Dreyer ';Very funny, erudite and profound. A delight!' Nina Stibbe
This gripping, true autobiography follows the spiritual life of a young boy devoted to Jesus Christ who is joined by a best friend, a companion with aspirations of a grand and valiant future. Together, they dream of embarking on a path of virtuous heroism which forges a deep and abiding friendship and sets the stage for what's to come.As the years pass, the boy begins to leave his faith and as a young man he meets another kindred spirit; a strange Jewish young man from the local Navajo reservation with a mysterious past. Together they set out into the world on an adventure brimming with thrilling escapades, heartfelt sentiment and profound sorrow until their adventurous spirit leads them astray when they chance upon a Ouija Board, a sinister artifact that becomes their undoing.As their curiosity in speaking with a malevolent demon from beyond this world persists for months, it begins to infect the young man's mind and soul with evil power, eventually driving him to become a meth addict. Alas, in a bizarre and harrowing spiritual experience unlike anything you've ever heard, the demon comes to him while asleep and opens a portal to Hell, transporting the young man into the depths of that infernal abyss. As he stands there, seeing it with his very own eyes, he knows that it is only his desperate cry to Jesus Christ that can save him. What follows is a powerful testament to faith, deliverance, and the truth of the Bible.
