Wicked Or Warranted? Us Press Coverage Of Contraception 1873-1917, Ana Garner
Wicked Or Warranted? Us Press Coverage Of Contraception 1873-1917, Ana Garner
Ana Garner
This study examines the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times press coverage of contraception during one key period: 1873–1917. The first 30 years after the passage of the Comstock Act in 1873 were difficult for contraception advocates. The New York Times narrative reflected a battle between those who supported the Comstock Act and the men and women who opposed it. Conversely, the Los Angeles Times narrative portrayed the birth control debate as a wide-ranging battle of ideas occurring in a variety of venues. Press coverage revealed that the use of birth control was common and the real debate …

Mother As Mother And Mother As Citizen: Mothers Of Combat Soldiers On National Network News, Karen Slattery, Ana Garner
Ana Garner
This study examines national television news images of mothers of US combat soldiers during the first seven years of the Iraq War. News stories presented mothers as archetypal good mothers engaged in maternal work long after their children’s deployment. Some mothers were depicted as vocal vis-à-vis their position on the Iraq War, a contrast to the historical depiction of the archetypal patriotic mother who is stoic and silent. The resulting image is more complex, suggesting the boundaries of the archetype may be changing.

Sixty-three per cent were found to contain at least one safety theme paragraph within the larger story. A total of 631 paragraphs were identified as safety theme paragraphs, 32 per cent of which were passenger safety themes, 8 per cent were train personnel safety, 31 per cent were train safety and …
Narrative Analysis Of Sexual Etiquette In Teenage Magazines, Ana Garner, Helen Sterk, Shawn Adams
Narrative Analysis Of Sexual Etiquette In Teenage Magazines, Ana Garner, Helen Sterk, Shawn Adams
Ana Garner
Expanding on existing research on women's magazines, this essay examines the sexual etiquette developed in advice columns in magazines popular among teenage women. Over a span of 20 years, the advice has changed very little. Serving the rhetorical function of field guides and training manuals, teen magazines limit women's sociality and sexuality within narrowly defined heterosexual norms and practices. The rhetoric of sexual etiquette encourages young women to be sex objects and teachers of interpersonal communication rather than lovers, friends, and partners. Young women are being taught to subordinate self for others and to be contained.
Mobilizing Mother: From Good Mother To Patriotic Mother In World War I, Ana Garner, Karen Slattery
Mobilizing Mother: From Good Mother To Patriotic Mother In World War I, Ana Garner, Karen Slattery
Ana Garner
The American press played a key role in the Wilson administration’s effort to craft an image of the Patriotic Mother of the Great War. The Patriotic Mother of a soldier was encouraged to assume the mantle of the Spartan Mother. This monograph contrasts the Spartan Mother archetype used by the government and the press to another wartime maternal archetype, that of Thetis, the mother of Achilles, who objected to her son’s participation in the Trojan War. U.S. mothers of soldiers were socially and politically positioned to assume the role outlined by the Wilson administration and advocated by the news media.
The World War Ii Patriotic Mother, Ana C. Garner, Karen L. Slattery
The World War Ii Patriotic Mother, Ana C. Garner, Karen L. Slattery
Ana Garner
The archetypal good mother and the archetypal patriotic mother are important symbols in American culture. Both are rooted in maternal work but are separated by two conflicting assumptions. The good mother nurtures her children and protects them from harm, while the patriotic wartime mother remains silent when the government sends her child directly into harm's way. This study explores how the World War II press positioned mothers of soldiers to sacrifice their children in support of the nation's war effort. The findings point to the importance of understanding the role of archetypes in news narratives.
Reconstructing Reality: Interpreting The Aeroplane Disaster News Story, Ana Garner
Reconstructing Reality: Interpreting The Aeroplane Disaster News Story, Ana Garner
Ana Garner
At 9 a.m. on 31 August 1988, Delta Flight 1141 crashed on take‐off, killing 13 people and leaving 94 survivors. Existing research has furthered our insight into media coverage of disasters but it has not broadened our understanding of disaster narrative interpretations and disaster behaviour education. In total, 24 in‐depth interviews explore reader interpretations of print‐mediated disaster reality and the Delta 1141 disaster. Disaster news stories provide the frames people use to interpret aeroplane disaster behaviour. Concludes the media need to recognize that their pedagogical role extends beyond disaster reporting and includes disaster behaviour information.
The Never-Ending Struggle: Us Press Coverage Of Contraception 2000–2013, Ana Garner, Edgar Mendez
The Never-Ending Struggle: Us Press Coverage Of Contraception 2000–2013, Ana Garner, Edgar Mendez
Ana Garner
In 1873, the Comstock Act labeled contraceptive information and materials obscene and banned their distribution. The issue divided the United States then, and it divides the nation today. This essay examines 2000–2013 press coverage of contraception in the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, two newspapers that have covered contraception since 1873. Press coverage reveals that contemporary efforts to regulate women’s bodies are cloaked in discussions about the Affordable Care Act, religious freedom, morality, and employer rights. Accepting the ideology that contraception is no longer a reproductive rights issue allowed the press to exclude women from …
