“…Research on the communication practices of social movements both challenges structural views that conceive of alternative media as separate from the broader media field and also shows that communication is becoming more important for contemporary movements (Della Porta, 2013). This assertion complements the perspective that all social movement actions, including strategizing, lobbying, mobilizing, and protesting, involve forms of both online and offline communication (Ryan, Jeffreys, Ellowitz, & Ryczek, 2013). In part this positions the social movement as a network that emphasizes diversity of membership, while affording agency for actors assigned to different roles.…”

The confluence of activism and social media-legitimized by efforts such as the Arab Spring and Occupy Movementsrepresents a growing area of mainstream media focus. Using Canada's #IdleNoMore movement as a case, this study uses framing theory to better understand how traditional media are representing activism borne of social media such as Twitter, and how such activism can ultimately have an impact in political and public policy debates. A qualitative framing analysis is used to identify frames present in media reporting of #IdleNoMore during its first two months by two prominent Canadian publications. Emergent frames show that hashtag activism as a catalyst for a social movement was embraced as a theme by one of the publications, therefore helping to legitimize the role of social media tools such as Twitter. In other frames, both positive and negative depictions of the social movement helped to identify for mainstream audiences both historical grievances and future challenges and opportunities for Canada's First Nations communities.

“…Affordable housing has long been established for multiple social and economic reasons to dissolve issues within a community. Some of these issues include homelessness, long-term unemployment, and economic distress (Bartley, 2011;Ryan et al, 2014). Specifically focusing on the construction of environmentally sustainable structures and involvement of community organizations, this paper explores how introducing mixed-income affordable housing units to the St George neighborhood of Staten Island will bring social and economic support to the area.…”

“…A key strategy we seek to implement is the establishment of a community organization to work with local government and private contractors. Community advocacy for affordable housing has been shown to positively impact levels of homelessness and economic disparity in neighborhoods (Ryan et al, 2014). We are looking to address community need by bringing community members together to establish a group which is meant to advocate for them.…”

This proposal sets out to find which policy measure pertaining to affordable housing would be most successful in revitalizing the St George neighborhood on Staten Island. St George has dealt with issues such as a lagging commercial district, difficulty drawing people to the neighborhood, homelessness, and a stagnant housing market. The emergence of affordable green housing units, mixed-income housing developments, and community-based initiatives focused on urban neighborhoods have become increasingly successful pieces in economic and infrastructural development throughout major urban areas. This paper will use scholarly research focusing on the role sustainably built affordable housing, mixed-income housing units, and community-based housing initiatives have in revitalizing urban neighborhoods. Findings from this study reveal that the introduction of mixed-income green housing units in urban areas can be successful in raising the socioeconomic standard of living within designated neighborhoods. It is suggested that a community-based housing initiative be established to introduce affordable mixed-income green housing units to the St George neighborhood of Staten Island.
