“…Publications like GTAT were pivotal in jumpstarting the modern LGBT civil rights movement (Bennett, 1998;Streitmatter, 1995aStreitmatter, , 1995c. By analyzing GTAT, this research helps provide a fuller picture of the early LGBT press and the foundation they laid for the contemporary equality successes that are now sweeping the United States.…”

Saying Goodbye to Men: Southern Feminists Publishing News While Challenging Patriarchy

In 1975, a group of lesbian feminist separatists in Austin, Texas, made history by publishing a small newsletter named Goodbye to All That. The collective of women assembled one of the earliest known lesbian feminist publications in Texas to challenge patriarchy in the left and gay rights movements. This textual analysis guided by standpoint feminist theory provides a historical understanding of how a segment of second-wave lesbian feminists-physically removed from gay-and lesbian-friendly urban centers-utilized a newsletter to communicate with each other, at a time when mainstream media ignored their unique issues. When compared with feminist publications outside of the South, Goodbye to All That adopted a unique tone that could be partially influenced by its cultural heritage.

“…For instance, Engstrom and Ferri (1998) surveyed 128 local women TV anchors and found that "they rank concerns with their physical appearance, conflicts between the roles of wife/mother and newscaster, and difficulties in balancing career and family as their major career challenges" (p. 289)-early evidence of challenges that continue to confront many women in television news. Pointing to a future where LGBTQ concerns would more fully come into view, Streitmatter (1995) offered a first-of-its-kind account on the origins of the gay and lesbian press.…”

The very first article published in the new Journalism Quarterly, in January 1924, was titled “The Professional Spirit.” It was a fitting start for the journal, which over the next 100 years tracked the maturation of journalism as a profession and journalism studies as a field of scholarly inquiry. This article explores how “journalism” evolved in the pages of the journal through a turbulent century. By analyzing the changing debates and tracking the incremental but steady expansion of knowledge, we seek to provide insights into where journalism scholarship started, the path we traveled, and how we arrived at today.

“…Several studies have focused on media outlets that have a particularly special relationship to an issue public, the most commonly referenced being the women's rights (O'Donnell 2001;Masel-Walters 1980), gay rights (Streitmatter 1995), and the labor and abolitionist movements (Streitmatter 2001). We know less, however, about media outlets that cover a range of social issues within the same platform, although existing research points to interesting insights about how participants integrate professional norms in doing this work (Eliasoph 1988;Platon and Deuze 2003) by combining journalistic practices and social justice goals through what Howley (2009) has described as a process of "articulation.…”

“…As early as the abolitionist movement (Streitmatter 2001) and women's suffrage (Masel-Walters 1980), movement actors have published their own ideas about social issues as a way to popularize particular understandings of issues and events and in connecting dispersed adherents (O'Donnell 2001;Streitmatter 1995). Comparative analysis of how Democracy Now!…”

This chapter examines the ways that speakers connect movements through language use as they build support for their cause, and position it in a broader understanding of the political terrain. Using a corpus of spoken word transcripts aired between 2003-2013 from U.S. broadcast news program Democracy Now!, we developed a dictionary of named issue movements using corpus linguistics techniques. Semantic network analysis of issuemovement co-mentions revealed that the Civil Rights movement occupied a central role in facilitating cross-movement talk, and a purposive sub-sample of those stories was examined using qualitative discourse analysis tools to understand how and why. Several language strategies are explored that participants used to make relational connections between issue movements, and I offer some suggestions on how to approach the mixed methods analysis of cross-issue movement talk as political discourse.
