[Commlist] New Book: Activist Media

**Activist Media: Documenting Movements and Networked Solidarity**
By Gino Canella (Rutgers University Press)

Now more than ever, activists are using media to document injustice and 
promote social and political change. Yet with so many media platforms 
available, activists sometimes fail to have a coherent media and 
communication strategy.

Drawing from his experiences as a documentary filmmaker with Black Lives 
Matter 5280 and Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 105 
in Denver, Colorado, Gino Canella argues that activist media create 
opportunities for activists to navigate conflict and embrace their 
political and ideological differences. Canella details how activists' 
media practices—interviewing organizers, script writing, video editing, 
posting on social media, and hosting community screenings—foster 
solidarity among grassroots organizers fighting for change.

Informed by media theory, this book explores how activists leverage 
media to mobilize supporters, communicate their values, and reject 
anti-union rhetoric. It demonstrates how collaborative media production 
can help activists build the kinds of broad-based coalitions needed to 
realize their vision for a more equitable and just society.
