Last week @SCNGguild journalists voted to authorize a strike. Now @iemediawatch's @tccorrigan1 has obtained a 2022 Guild Pay Study detailing persistently low salaries and race & gender pay gaps at Alden GC's @SoCalNewsGroup papers. Story & pay study here: linktr.ee/iemediawatch
Recently, I started a newsletter about local media in California's #InlandEmpire. It's called Inland Empire MediaWatch. I also share on IG as @iemediawatch and now on X w/ the same handle. Please subscribe & follow for IE media news & analysis. tccorrigan.substack.com/
Here's a pre-pub version of my recent PEMC methods chapter. In it, I use critical realist metatheory to explain our "method of theorizing" (B. Nixon's term), including conceptualization and structural & causal analysis. Hope it's helpful 4 pol econ folks. academia.edu/115964022/Corri…
Here's the full, co-edited volume that it's part of -- Political Economy of Media and Communication: Methodological Approaches. Please consider it for your library, your next political economy class, or a cozy weekend read! taylorfrancis.com/books/edit…

This is a high-powered lineup of political economy of media scholars like @jon1hardy, @Robin_Mansellx, @tccorrigan1, @bjbirkin, Micky Lee (to name just a few in this impressive collection)! The methods of PE of media are under-examined so this is making a real contribution.
PhD alum @tccorrigan1 is a co-editor of the new book "Political Economy of Media and Communication Methodological Approaches." He also authors the chapter "Rethinking “method” in the political economy of media and communication: A realist perspective." routledge.com/Political-Econ…

“We have to focus on the journalistic ‘last mile’ — not only producing reliable, independent information, but making sure that people actually receive it and can act on it.” @sisiwei @nabihasyed buff.ly/3t9PMF2
This @CalMatters report is worth a read. 2 notes, tho: 1) The data are 4 FT lecturers only. Most CSU faculty are PT & their disparities are surely more stark; 2) claims FT lecturers received a 22% “pay bump” since '07. But w/ inflation, they have actually taken a $9k/yr PAY CUT!
This is a recent front page from the San Bernardino Sun - the daily newspaper in San Bernardino, California.
Check out my first post on the Inland Empire "news mirage" in my new newsletter, Inland Empire MediaWatch: tccorrigan.substack.com/p/th…
Would be interested in your thoughts, if you have the time, @jayrosen_nyu @kdoctor @JimFriedlich @nikkiusher @brcreech @stevenwaldman @businessofnews @VWPickard @Sulliview @pmnapoli @alexbruell @MargotSusca @brianstelter
Check out my first issue of Inland Empire MediaWatch! In this post, I look at how the "vulture" hedge fund Alden Global Capital is creating a "news mirage" in the Inland Empire by passing off a single regional newspaper as four "local" ones. tccorrigan.substack.com/p/th…
We're under a flash flood warning. Also, be prepared to get your kids to school on time tomorrow. Contact hours, people. SMH.
As Tropical Storm #Hilary bears down on Mexico and southern California, you’re likely to hear a lot about California’s Inland Empire (“The I.E.”). Indeed, as of Sunday (8/20), most of the #inlandempire is facing an “excessive” risk of flash flooding. pressenterprise.com/2023/08/…
If use larger, two-county region as the I.E.'s borders, then is nearly size of Connecticut, and it is – by far – the largest metropolitan statistical area (MSA) in the U.S. by land area. statista.com/statistics/4319…
