> This volume of "Research in Social Movements, Conflicts and Change" explores the relationships between mass media, social movements, and political change. Since Martin Luther nailed his Thesis of Contention on the Wittenberg Church door in 1517, scholars and pundits noted that media play an important role in social and political change. This volume advances scholarly understanding of how activists and elites alike use books, newspapers, and Internet Communication Technology to advance their goals. Articles include analyses of the role of media in the (Anti)Abortion, Globalization, Labor, Townsend, and White Power movements as well as Barrack Obama’s 2008 campaign.
