Picturing the overturn of Roe v. Wade: An analysis of newsroom Instagram photographs and their photographers
Andrea Hudson and Noor Abdallah (CURO student), “Picturing the overturn of Roe v. Wade: An analysis of newsroom Instagram photographs and their photographers,” paper to be presented at AEJMC in Washington D.C. August 7-10.
Abstract: Abortion was constitutional for nearly 50 years until Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022. This project explores how news organizations are visually depicting a post-Roe world, by analyzing 241 Instagram posts from eight news organizations. The researchers studied the content in the visuals themselves, as well worked to identify the photojournalists that created the images. In doing so, this project contextualizes the visual record of this pivotal moment in history.
