Yes to bezique, no to aqueduct: a critical discourse analysis of how U.S. news covers sororities
College sororities in the United States recently have spent lavishly to produce professional-level recruitment videos in an effort to attract new members. The videos feature mostly white, blonde, and scantily clad women sunning by swimming pools, dancing on yachts, and blowing kisses to the camera. These young women were performing what Connell called emphasized femininity, an exaggerated feminine behavior in which women are rewarded for emphasizing playfulness, attractiveness, and sexuality.

UT Austin study suggests process boxes can boost audience trust
Audiences rated news stories with a box explaining their process as more trustworthy than articles without. Building Trust: What Works for News Organizations University of Texas at Austin Center for Media Engagement By Gina Masullo Chen, Alex Curry and Kelsey Whipple Feb. 26, 2019 Sure, there are tons of trust-building tactics out there, but how can journalists be sure that they actually work?
Building Trust: What Works for News Organizations
Amid the frequent cries of “fake news” and lagging trust in journalism, how can news organizations boost trust with their audiences? This project sought to answer that question. The Center for Media Engagement teamed up with Joy Mayer of Trusting News and two newsroom partners, USA TODAY and the Tennessean, to test two approaches to building trust: Showing the audience how journalists approached the story.
Review: RJD2 at Bluebird Theater, 1/27/12
Is it just us, or does RJD2 look more like R2D2 every time we see him? Last night, when he took to the small, technology-overwhelmed stage of the Continue Reading , the DJ/producer was barely recognizable behind a Daft Punk-style robot mask and the sound effects box strapped to his waist like an oversized graphing calculator.
Occupy Denver clashes with police (again) over tents raised for cold weather (PHOTOS)
As the weather hit thirty degrees and the season's first snow closed in on Occupy Denver last night, members turned once more to tents as a refuge from the elements. Because this was the reason the state patrol raided the camp two weeks ago, the four new tents lasted only an hour. Nights like the last one prefigure a more difficult protest season and slimmer numbers for the group.
Occupy Denver protesters want their dog-and-leader to meet with Governor Hickenlooper
This afternoon was a busy one for a handful of Occupy Denver participants, eleven of whom took the capitol by surprise around 11:30 a.m. The group, organized by Thunderdome protester Corey Donahue, planned to advance the cause by occupying the governor's office, and that plan lasted for about three and a half hours (three longer than even the occupiers expected). Around 3 p.m., they were escorted out of the building by state patrol, with the exception of Donahue, who was arrested.
Masterpiece Cakeshop refuses to bake a wedding cake for gay couple
UPDATE: Masterpiece Cakeshop's days of shutting out same-sex couples appear to be over. In December 2013, an administrative law judge ordered Masterpiece's owner, Jack Phillips, to cease discriminating against gay couples. In May 2014, the Colorado Civil Rights Commission unanimously upheld his ruling. After the second hearing, however, Philips said he hadn't baked a wedding cake since early 2014: His shop has been too busy fulfilling orders from supporters.
The Magic Behind the Wizarding World of Harry Potter With Art Director Alan Gilmore
You've read the books; you've seen the movies. You've shared every moment of Hogwarts hijinks. You've got strong opinions about which house you'd be in. (I aspire to be a Gryffindor, but let's be real: I'd probably be a Ravenclaw). You know the correct pronunciations of all the best spells ("levi-OH-sa," not "levio-SAH"). You follow J.K. Rowling on Twitter. You've been to Whimsic Alley. You add the letter U into words it has no business touching in North America.
Unusual Road Trips for Intrepid L.A. Travelers
A road trip should be an adventure, right? The whole point is to seek out the unexpected. So don't fault us for eschewing picturesque mountain resorts and postcard-worthy cliffside cabanas — and steering you instead toward a nondescript industrial park or the continent's undisputed low point. Never mind soothingly minimalist spas and thrillingly composed theme parks; we'd rather you end up at the end of a lonely, unmarked gravel road or on an island that has neither a bar or, well, electricity.
The twenty best bicycle scenes in cinema, ever
With rare exceptions for the Smart Car, the tandem bike and whatever those contraptions are in the Dr. Seuss books, the human evolutionary process basically stopped when mankind progressed from two legs to two wheels.
Colorado's 300 days of sunshine claim: It's a myth, and state's climatologist tells us why
^ I Support Local Community Journalism Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free. Yesterday was a sweater day. Not a bathing-suit day or a Popsicle day or even a look-out-the-window day, which we could chalk up to this being one of the 65 days of the Colorado year that aren't graced by sunshine -- if only we didn't know better.
