Digital-Age Resistance
Journalism, Social Movements and the Media Dependence Model
«
Dr. Kennis’ academic pedigree is impressive, as is the fact that he’s chosen to conduct a significant portion of his work in academic contexts outside the United States. This, coupled with his extensive journalistic work in a variety of countries from a critical perspective, may help to make the work more engaging to an international audience.
Dr. Kennis writes in an accessible way (his background as a journalist helps here), and, with a case study approach that grounds concepts in a thick description of examples, this assures that undergrads may find his work approachable. Graduate students and scholars interested in journalism, digital media, international comm, and social movements would be drawn by the subject matter.

In this trailblazing book, Digital-Age Resistance tackles social movements, the mainstream news media and public policy in order to arm readers with an "intellectual self-defense" of the realities of trillion-dollar-valued platform conglomerates, the pandemic, reality TV presidencies of the past and present as well as the incoming Biden administration. Firmly situated at the intersection of journalism, activism and the deployment of power, the author places his analysis within an international context that further develops a critical paradigm, called the Media Dependence Model (MDM).
Featuring a foreword by Daniel and Noam Chomsky and a preface by Robert. W. McChesney, the book offers a cutting-edge overview of the news media landscape both within the United States and globally. The MDM critically analyzes dichotomous patterns of mainstream press coverage of the #ClimateStrike, #FamiliesBelongTogether, #EvasionMasiva (Chile), #FightForHongKong, #RickyRenuncia (Puerto Rico) and #CancelRent movements and the pro-Trump #OperationGridlock resistance, contrasting them with social media and other historic movements. "Evergreen" topics such as immigration, climate change and net neutrality are explored in-depth, along with media reforms and concrete policy solutions.
Digital-Age Resistance straddles disciplines including media, policy and journalism studies, political economy and international and political communication. It is a must-read for scholars, students, policy advisers, media makers, social media enthusiasts, grassroots activists, NGO's and concerned citizens alike.
