In 2012, women's issues became central to the US elections. Political reporters focused on repeating candidates' assertions rather than providing context and analysis, influenced by Twitter which many used to cover campaigns mobilely. This may have impacted how journalists discussed gender during the elections.

"Binders full of Tweets:" Twitter, gender and the 2012 elections
In 2012, women's issues became central to the US elections. Political reporters focused on repeating candidates' assertions rather than providing context and analysis, influenced by Twitter which many used to cover campaigns mobilely. This may have impacted how journalists discussed gender during the elections.

Why Are African Americans Over Represented on Twitter?
The document proposes two hypotheses for why African Americans are overrepresented on Twitter compared to their share of the U.S. population. Hypothesis 1 is that African Americans who own smartphones and access the internet through them are more likely to have a Twitter profile. Hypothesis 2 is that celebrity-conscious African Americans are more likely to have a Twitter profile. The author plans to test these hypotheses by surveying and interviewing black Americans aged 25-34 with college educations, recruited from Facebook and Twitter, analyzing the results using SPSS to identify trends. The findings could provide insights into digital divide issues and minority online behaviors.

Project_Report
The document analyzes the social networks of 2016 US presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump on Twitter. It finds that:
1. Donald Trump's network contained 3 communities - one for Trump supporters (green), one for Hillary Clinton supporters (blue), and one for Ted Cruz supporters (red).
2. Users with high betweenness centrality, like 'ibegoodnow' and 'thegreatfeather', may act as influential spreaders of information.
3. The clusters for Trump and Cruz were connected through multiple users, indicating they belong to the same party, whereas Clinton was only connected through one user.
INST633_FinalProject
The document summarizes a social network analysis of the 2016 US presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump on Twitter. It introduces the purpose of analyzing their social media networks to understand their reach and how it impacts their campaigns. It then briefly reviews literature on previous research analyzing the role of social media in elections from 2004 to 2010. The research questions aim to study how information flows through each candidate's network and whether people with more connections act as influencers. Data was collected from Twitter using hashtags and analyzed using tools like NodeXL and Gephi.
My School Research on Fanfiction writers results
Over 800 respondents from more than 100 fandoms responded to an online survey about fanfiction writing. Most respondents write for fun and to express their creativity in fandom communities, with about half writing for a single fandom. The study provided useful information about fanfiction writers but also raised new questions. Fanfiction may help improve writing skills for high school students and motivate them to consider careers in writing.
The End of News? Twitter and Local Election Information in Canada
In an election year, the rights of the Canadian public to access political information at both a local and national level rise to the fore. Unfortunately, access to information is currently contested, as emerging technologies are challenged for their ability to take the place of declining local newspapers and television broadcasters. This project examines whether Twitter is effective at providing locally-relevant political information during election time. Specifically it looks at whether small communities underserved by traditional media can use Twitter to access political information that is relevant to them, or if in contrast, the information available through Twitter is only relevant on a national level.

Michael Brown as a news icon
The shooting of Michael Brown by a police officer cued an intense reaction from citizens, officials, and activists. Guided by the theory of indexing during “event-driven” news and the literature on protest coverage, this paper investigates the voices in the news following Brown’s shooting. A content analysis of five newspapers during the first cycle of protests analyzed three aspects of the media coverage of Ferguson. First, we assessed the reliance on official and nonofficial sources in the content published. Second, we tested the relationship between official and nonofficial sources to episodic or thematic coverage. Third, we tested the relationship between sources and the frames of the “protest paradigm,” a pattern of coverage emphasizing violence and deviant behavior. Findings reveal that nonofficial sources dominated the coverage after the shooting. But such sources challenged neither the episodic nature of the coverage nor negative portrayal of protestors. Therefore, our unique linking of the theory of indexing and protest coverage literature reveals that the nonofficial sources’ access is not enough to deter “protest paradigm” coverage. Frames emphasizing violence and clashes with the police were overwhelmingly more present than those emphasizing protestors’ grievances and demands. Our findings also reveal that frames emphasizing deviance prevailed more in the local newspaper than in national outlets. Overall, the predominance of nonofficial sources was not accompanied by thematic stories and critical viewpoints.

Tese final
(1) The document analyzes the portrayal of crime in local media in Amazonas, Brazil compared to actual crime statistics.
(2) An analysis of TV crime shows found they depicted more violent and random crimes than actual statistics, which show most victims of non-lethal crimes are black, male, young, and poor. TV shows underrepresented black and female victims.
(3) The conclusion is that local media in Amazonas exaggerates the role of criminals and drugs, while underrepresenting actual victims. This shapes public perceptions in ways that do not reflect reality.

TEA Data Presentation - Group 1
This document analyzes teacher turnover rates, teacher-student ratios, and high school graduation rates for Dallas ISD and three neighboring districts: Plano, Garland, and Richardson. The authors collected data from the Texas Education Agency website and created graphs comparing the key metrics across the four districts. They found a correlation between lower teacher turnover rates and higher graduation rates. They also discovered that districts with lower teacher-student ratios tended to have higher graduation rates, with Plano ISD ranking highest in graduation rates and lowest in teacher-student ratio.
TEA Data Presentation - Group 3
The document analyzes test performance data from three Austin high schools: Akins HS, Lanier HS, and LBJ HS. It finds that annual dropout rates are lower overall but spiked for white students. Index 4 (postsecondary readiness) was the lowest rated performance index for all schools. Hispanic students made up the largest population percentage at each school, which all had over 70% economically disadvantaged students. Across the schools, students met or exceeded STAAR standards most in reading and least in math.
TEA Data Presentation - Group 2
The document discusses student dropout rates in the Austin Independent School District from 2010-2013. It found that the annual dropout rate decreased from 2.6% in 2010-2011 to 1.8% in 2012-2013. The dropout rates varied by race, with African American students having the highest rate at 2.7% and Asian and White students having the lowest at 0.8%. Economically disadvantaged students had a dropout rate of 2.1% in 2012-2013. Austin ISD's dropout rates compare favorably to other Texas districts like Houston ISD and Dallas ISD but are lower than San Antonio ISD. Texas has a lower statewide dropout rate than states like California and New York.

The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of a new drug on memory and cognitive function in older adults. The double-blind study involved giving either the new drug or a placebo to 100 volunteers aged 65-80 over a 6 month period. Testing showed those receiving the drug experienced statistically significant improvements in short-term memory retention and processing speed compared to the placebo group.

Gender, Violence and the Big Brother Brazil
This document summarizes a research paper about the broadcast of a sexual assault on the Brazilian reality TV show Big Brother Brasil in 2012. The assault occurred between participants Daniel and Monique while they were intoxicated. Producers did not intervene and initially labeled it a "romance." Daniel was later expelled. News coverage and magazine articles reflected societal acceptance of gender violence and victim blaming. Twitter activism criticized the network's handling of the situation. The research analyzed coverage and raised ethical concerns about producers' non-intervention and lack of follow-up on the police investigation.
Framing #VemPraRua
The document discusses research on media framing of the 2013 protests in Brazil. It presents hypotheses that the more people participate in protests, the more legitimizing frames the media will use (H1). Additionally, the broader the collective action frames of the protests, the more legitimizing frames will be used (H2). The study uses computerized content analysis of news websites, blogs, and Twitter to analyze frames over time. Preliminary results suggest the media initially used more confrontational frames but shifted to more legitimizing frames as protest participation and resonance of rights-based frames increased, supporting H1 and H2. Future research is needed comparing media frames to collective action frames used by social movement organizations.
Framing Vem pra Rua
This document analyzes how Brazilian media outlets framed the 2013 protests in Brazil on news websites, blogs, and Twitter. It finds that initially, news websites used more "confrontation" frames but later shifted to more "legitimizing" frames as protest participation grew and demands became more generic and resonant. Blogs emphasized "debate" frames from the start. Twitter news accounts followed public support on Twitter, mirroring trends seen in previous Brazilian protests. The rise of a "rights" frame correlated with increased legitimizing coverage, supporting the hypotheses. Further analysis of frame sponsorship and impact on social movements is recommended.

This document analyzes journalists' use of humor on Twitter during the first 2012 US presidential debate:
- 17.9% of tweets from 430 political journalists analyzing the debate contained attempts at humor. Newspaper reporters had a slightly higher percentage.
- The use of humor was only positively correlated with retweets, not other Twitter activities like mentions or hyperlinks.
- While journalists traditionally restrain humor for objectivity, Twitter allows more transparency and engagement with audiences. Humor on the platform marks a break from strict reporting practices and could challenge elite news discourse.
Communication's Next Top Model
This study compared the Differential Gains Model and Communication Mediation Model in predicting political participation and knowledge. The Communication Mediation Model, which posits that interpersonal communication mediates the effects of mass communication, was more supported. Political discussion was found to better serve as a mediator rather than an interaction term. Fox News uniquely predicted participation and knowledge compared to other media. Online discussion also motivated political engagement. Direct media effects were larger than interactive effects on participation, while media reliance effects were larger than media-interaction effects on participation and knowledge.
Social media1
This document provides guidance for journalists on using social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook for professional purposes. It discusses deciding between personal and publication accounts on Twitter, and tips for building engagement through Twitter. For Facebook, it outlines how to create a page for a publication and differences between personal profiles and page follows. Resources like Storify, Tweetdeck, and Facebook guides are also referenced for journalists to engage audiences and drive traffic through social media.
Crime, violence, and culture in latin america
Latin America experiences high levels of crime and violence that vary significantly between countries and regions. Homicide rates are especially high in Central America, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico. Crime imposes large economic and political costs on societies through reduced investment, tourism, and productivity. Organized crime networks engage in drug trafficking, extortion, and corruption. Crime culture is reflected in media portrayals, religions like Santa Muerte, and popular music such as narcocorridos that glorify drug traffickers. Effective policy responses to crime in Latin America remain an ongoing challenge.
Bloody Weekend in Manaus - A case study of local TV in Amazonas, Brazil
(1) The document examines the portrayal of crime in local media in Amazonas, Brazil compared to actual crime statistics.
(2) Actual crime rates show most victims of non-lethal crimes are black, younger, and of lower socioeconomic status, while TV shows underrepresent these groups.
(3) TV shows emphasize violent and random crimes more than statistics show, overrepresenting drug crimes and underrepresenting crimes like theft and assault.
(4) The document concludes local media in Amazonas misrepresents the actual victims and nature of crime, potentially worsening public fear and distrust in institutions.
