In this article, we argue the time has come to fully engage an embodied view of media from an evolutionary, ecological perspectivewhat we might call ecological modernism. This is a perspective that views media as evolving mediations through various material/technical practices, where body knowledge, rather than some idea of objective reality, is understood as the empirical ground for how we come to make sense of ourselves and the world. The focus is then shifted from the problem of subject versus object relationships to how subjects and objects are mutually constitutive. By extension, the juxtaposition of the concept of citizen with the body clarifies yet another crucial dimension of the embodied perspective. Two examples of "citizen"-based media education projects are briefly reviewed from this ecological modernist perspective in order to consider the implications of resituating grounded citizen-oriented media education.

To Latour’s challenge, “we have never been modern,” by which Latour meant truly and meaningfully modern, the Pope had a reply: “Here’s how”(Latour, 1993). And it wasn’t by suggesting that we go back to a pre-modern understanding of the world and embrace a mystical religious world view. Instead it called for a dramatic re-visioning of the central work of today’s media studies scholars.

In political and feminist theory, power recently has been conceptualized as inseparable from the production of knowledge, involved in the production of the very meaning of
scarcity and the meaning or necessity of conflict. This study integrates the power/knowledge perspective into the ideological conception of news work and uses this integrated position to illustrate how women are constructed or deconstructed as legitimate authorities in local news reporting-in this case,a routine story about child care.

We want them to be good citizens, as well as good parents and good neighbors. And we do not want them to be poor. We want them to be at least economically comfortable, if not financially successful.

The research reported here was carried out while the author was a doctoral candidate in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. A process model of involvement based on expectancy-value research is proposed. Two key elements are included. The first is the person’s expecta-tion that a given event will be important. The second is the person’s dis-crimination of whether his or her initial expectation was confirmed or disconfirmed. Both expectations and discrimination were manipulated for all subjects. The key dependent variable was each individual’s subsequent expectation of the importance of similar events in the future. The implica-tions of expectation of information-seeking intensity are also considered. Students enrolled in a University of Wisconsin advertising class served as subjects (N = 92) for the study. Data were collected at two points in time using booklets containing the experimen...

The 486 scholars ' beliefs are provocative, indicate a disparity exists between published empirical reports and the personal beliefs held by scholars and suggests a research agenda for future mass communication research. Perhaps most interestingly, a negative relationship was observed between academic publication and perceived negative consequences of television.

Three competing models of democracy are introduced: Neoliberalism; Communitarianism; and Participatory. With these three models as reference points, one week of Primedia's Channel One video news program-the week of the 1999 World Trade Organization (WTO) protests in Seattle, Washington-is analyzed. While the concept of "democracy" is never directly taken up in this programming, it is argued that the stories, advertisements, and formal structure construct a compelling vision of neo-liberalism as the normative standard for democracy in the United States.

These changes call for general recalibration, on the order of Sigal's and Culbertson's studies, regarding the nature and extent of diversity of news sources and news channels.
