One more ethnomethodology article

This one is about how people read science texts. I love it when I can find stuff that could influence the thesis.

Identified event for Research Methods Microproject

In July 2012 Max Moritz of UC Berkeley and several colleagues published a study in Ecosphere about global climate change and wildfires.

The study was covered in the New York Times dot.earth blog and a couple of weeks later on CNN.

The Wall Street Journal ran a story in between those two that talks about drought conditions and fire risks but does not mention the Moritz & co. study.

Fox News did not cover the study, but shortly after the CNN coverage they did this climate science story. 

This should give me plenty to say. I'm pretty excited - especially because I had some experience covering research about fire and climate change by Tony Westerling at UC Merced when I worked there.

Ethnomethodography and mass media

The Mass Media and Terrorism

The Social Uses of Television

Reading Risk: public response to print media accounts of technological risk


We were also assigned the Wikipedia article on ethnomethodology.


I don't know why I keep wanting to call it "ethnomethodography." Geez, get it together.

Postmodernism, history and media studies

Articles for Friday's Research Methods homework focusing on how postmodernism in the field of history may influence or change communication and media studies. I think. Finding the right articles is definitely the hardest part.
