This two-year study is led by Janice Harvey working with Susan O’Donnell and student research assistants, with collaborators Chief Ron Tremblay, Gretchen Fitzgerald and Sophie Lavoie. The team’s critical discourse analysis and content analysis of print news media is focused on stories about energy transitions.
In preparation for this study, we identified a range of discourses at both ends of the spectrum (table below) and in-between these two ends.
Research questions could include:
• What are the variety of dominant and counter-hegemonic discourses about energy transitions in the media?
• Which key actors are promoting these discourses to the public?
• Do differences exist between corporate and independent media in New Brunswick?
