Media & Social Protest

Prompt: Write a paper exploring the relationship between social protest and the portrayals of protest in the news media. This paper will integrate your work from the previous two assignments. It should include:

– A discussion of the literature, including Wouters and Walgrave Demonstrating Power and the article “Protests, Media Coverage, and a Hierarchy of Social Struggle”

– An analysis of data on 5 recent social protests (see attachments). Please use the WUNC guidelines to assessing the protests’ efficiency and impact (see attachment).

-Discuss your findings with respect to the existing research, but focusing on Wouters and Walgrave’s Demonstrating Power–based on their research, would this news coverage be likely to increase elected politicians support for the protestors? In what ways?
