Writers' Rights

Freelance Journalism in a Digital Age

By: Nicole S. Cohen

As media industries undergo rapid change, the conditions of media work are shifting just as quickly, with an explosion in the number of journalists working as freelancers. Although commentary frequently lauds freelancers as ideal workers for the information age – adaptable, multi-skilled, and entrepreneurial – Nicole Cohen argues that freelance media work is increasingly precarious, marked by declining incomes, loss of control over one’s work, intense workloads, long hours, and limited access to labour and social protections. Writers’ Rights provides context for freelancers’ struggles and identifies the points of contention between journalists and big business. Through interviews and a survey of freelancers, Cohen highlights the paradoxes of freelancing, which can be simultaneously precarious and satisfying, risky and rewarding. She documents the transformation of freelancing from a way for journalists to resist salaried labour in pursuit of autonomy into a strategy for media firms to intensify exploitation of freelance writers’ labour power, and presents case studies of freelancers’ efforts to collectively transform their conditions. A groundbreaking and timely intervention into debates about the future of journalism, organizing precariously employed workers, and the transformation of media work in a digital age, Writers’ Rights makes clear what is at stake for journalism’s democratic role when the costs and risks of its production are offloaded onto individuals.

New Media Unions

Organizing Digital Journalists

By: Nicole S. Cohen,Greig de Peuter

Investigating the wave of unionization that has seen over 60 digital and legacy media outlets unionize since 2015, this book explores how a flash of organizing by digital-first journalists has become a full-blown movement to unionize journalism, particularly in the United States. Through in-depth interviews with journalists and organizers, New Media Unions maps the process of labor organizing, foregrounding journalists’ voices and documenting a historic and ongoing moment in the digital media industry. Cohen and de Peuter examine what motivates union drives, then follow journalists through the making of a union from scratch. They explore how journalists strategically self-organize, apply their communication skills to alternative ends, generate affective bonds of solidarity, and build power to confront anti-union campaigns and bargain first contracts, winning significant gains and drafting a new labor code for journalism in a digital age. This book demonstrates that if journalism is to have a future, it must be organized. New Media Unions provides a counter-perspective on an industry in flux, whose protagonists—young journalists facing precarious futures—are using collective organizing to articulate a bottom-up vision for journalism’s future. This is a valuable resource for academics and researchers interested in political economy, journalism studies, and labor studies. Book website: www.newmediaunions.com

Cognition, Brain, and Consciousness

Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience

By: Bernard J. Baars,Nicole M. Gage

A textbook for psychology, neuroscience, pre-medical students, and everybody interested in the neuroscience of cognition. A wave of new research is transforming our understanding of the human mind and brain. Many educational fields now require a basic understanding of the new topic of cognitive neuroscience. However, available textbooks are written more for biology audiences than for psychology and related majors. This text aims to bridge that gap. A background in biology of neuroscience is not required. The thematic approach builds on widely understood concepts in psychology, such as working memory, selective attention, and social cognition. Edited by two leading experts in the field, the book guides the reader along a clear path to understand the latest findings. FEATURES: - Written specifically for psychology, pre-medical, education and neuroscience undergraduate and graduate students - The thematic approach builds on on accepted concepts, not presuming a background in neuroscience or biology - Includes two Appendices on brain imaging and neural networks written by Thomas Ramsoy and Igor Aleksander - Introduces the brain in a step-by-step, readable style, with gradually increasing sophistication - Richly illustrated in full color with clear and detailed drawings that build the brain from top to bottome, simplifying the layout of the brain for students - Pedagogy includes exercises and study questions at the end of each chapter - Written specifically for psychology, pre-medical, education and neuroscience undergraduate and graduate students - The thematic approach builds on on accepted concepts, not presuming a background in neuroscience or biology - Includes two Appendices on brain imaging and neural networks written by Thomas Ramsoy and Igor Aleksander - Introduces the brain in a step-by-step, readable style, with gradually increasing sophistication - Richly illustrated in full color with clear and detailed drawings that build the brain from top to bottom, simplifying the layout of the brain for students - Pedagogy includes exercises and study questions at the end of each chapter, including drawing exercises

We're Having a REORG - Now What?

Managing Through Turbulent Times at Work

By: Nicole Labbe,Christine Strobele

Workplace reorganization affects everyone—management and employees, individually and collectively, as well as their families. The disruption is often so counter-productive that statistically, few companies recover in time to achieve their desired objectives. It need not be so; Nicole Labbe and Christine Strobele have combined valuable firsthand experience with thorough research to prepare you to face this significantly stressful process productively. A properly managed reorganization will help your company to regroup more effectively and move forward more quickly. We’re Having a Reorg—Now What? is an indispensable guide to responding appropriately and proactively to the consequences of major change in the workplace. It is an essential survival tool for both company executives and workers in the period before, during, and following, a major restructuring and reassignment of responsibilities. This book will alert you to the emotional impact, such as the survivor syndrome, suffered by those who remain after downsizing. It explains the importance of respectful protocols, of collaborative teamwork, and of self-care. Strive for a healthy business transition and everyone will reach that higher ground!

Approaches to Discourse in Dementia

By: Jacqueline A. Guendouzi,Nicole Muller

The qualitative analysis of naturally occurring discourse in neurogenic communication disorders, specifically in dementia studies, has experienced recent burgeoning interest from wide-ranging disciplines. This multidisciplinarity has been exciting, but has added contextual confusion. This book advances the study of discourse in dementia by systematically exploring and applying different approaches to the same free conversational data sets, collected and transcribed by the authors. The applied methodologies and theories comprise a useful sourcebook for students, researchers, and practitioners alike.

Comprehension [Grades K-12]

The Skill, Will, and Thrill of Reading

By: Douglas Fisher,Nancy Frey,Nicole Law

Radically change the way students learn from texts, extending beyond comprehension to critical reasoning and problem solving. Is your reading comprehension instruction just a pile of strategies? There is no evidence that teaching one strategy at a time, especially with pieces of text that require that readers use a variety of strategies to successfully negotiate meaning, is effective. And how can we extend comprehension beyond simple meaning? Bestselling authors Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, and Nicole Law propose a new, comprehensive model of reading instruction that goes beyond teaching skills to fostering engagement and motivation. Using a structured, three-pronged approach—skill, will, and thrill—students learn to experience reading as a purposeful act and embrace struggle as a natural part of the reading process. Instruction occurs in three phases: Skill. Holistically developing skills and strategies necessary for students to comprehend text, such as monitoring, predicting, summarizing, questioning, and inferring. Will. Creating the mindsets, motivations, and habits, including goal setting and choice, necessary for students to engage fully with texts. Thrill. Fostering the thrill of comprehension, so that students share their thinking with others or use their knowledge for something else. Comprehension is the structured framework you need to empower students to comprehend text and take action in the world.
