Oil and Water

Media Lessons from Hurricane Katrina and the Deepwater Horizon Disaster

By: Andrea Miller,Shearon Roberts,Victoria Lapoe

Along the Gulf Coast, history is often referenced as pre-Katrina or post-Katrina. However, the natural disaster that appalled the world in 2005 has been joined by another catastrophe, this one man-made—the greatest environmental and maritime accident of all time, the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. In less than five years, the Gulf Coast has experienced two colossal disasters, very different, yet very similar. And these two equally complex crises have resulted in a steep learning curve for all, but especially the journalists covering these enduring stories. In Oil and Water, the authors explore the media-fed experiences, the visuals and narratives associated with both disasters. Katrina journalists have reluctantly had to transform into oil spill journalists. The authors look at this process of growth from the viewpoints not only of the journalists, but also of the public and of the scientific community. Through a detailed analysis of the journalists' content, the authors tackle significant questions. This book assesses the quality of journalism and the effects that quality may have on the public. The authors argue that regardless of the type of journalism involved or the immensity of the events covered, successful reportage still depends on the fundamentals of journalism and the importance of following these tenets consistently in a crisis atmosphere, especially when confronted with enduring crises that are just years apart.

When God Makes Himself Known

By: Shearon Epps

When God Makes Himself Known gives a unique and invigorating look into why God created mankind and why it is important for each individual to adhere to the call of God when we come into the knowledge of his existence. Life is filled with choices. Choosing life with or without God directly impacts who we are and who we will become. Choose wisely. In the story, Pastor Robert Maxwell shares his unique experience with God and his transformation from living for himself to living for God. While dealing with the return of an old flame and many other obstacles of family, church, and work, he turns to God for guidance through each situation. His story shows how living life for God can be challenging yet very fulfilling. Through the Maxwell family’s joys and difficulties, every reader can relate to one or more of the situations and will want to learn more about the characters and their relationship to God.

Films as Rhetorical Texts

Cultivating Discussion about Race, Racism, and Race Relations

By: Janice D. Hamlet

Films as Rhetorical Texts: Cultivating Discussion about Race, Racism, and Race Relations presents critical essays focusing on select commercial films and what they can teach us about race, racism, and race relations in America. The films in this volume are critically assessed as rhetorical texts using various aspects and components of critical race theory, recognizing that race and racism are intricately ingrained in American society. Contributors argue that by viewing and evaluating culture-centered films—often centered around race—and critically analyzing them, faculty and students can promote the opportunity for genuine open discussions about race, racism, and race relations in the United States, specifically in the higher education classroom. Scholars of film studies, media studies, race studies, and education will find this book particularly useful.
