Laura Garcia Rodriguez Blancas, PhD student in the Centre for Journalism, will present a seminar on ‘Mainstream News Coverage of Social movements: beyond protests and demonstrations’, on 17 February at 1 pm on Medway campus.

Laura’s research is based on how journalists cover and interact with social movements and activist. In the research seminar, she will explore the idea of how the news agenda that drives mainstream media as well as other newsroom factors frame, and sometimes limit, their coverage of social movements. Her case-studies will include bloggers who write on or for social movements and are used as sources by mainstream journalists.

The seminar will take place in G1-04, Gillingham Building, Medway campus. All are welcome. Further information is available on the University Event Calendar.
