<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; ">A growing body of research points to how social media, and specifically Twitter, is emerging as a hybrid space for the cultural
production of journalism, with citizens are involved in the flow, framing and interpretation of news. Studies into recent social movements such as Occupy Wall Street indicate how committed individuals are appropriating social media as one of the tools to articulate
a counter narrative, and contest dismissive framing by mainstream media. These movements do not have specific, concise demands that can be easily explained by the media, but present an open-ended, unspecified meta-narrative where participants create their
own meaning.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; ">One such movement is Idle No More. This presentation will discuss how activists in Canada mobilised around the #Idlenomore hashtag
and used Twitter to advance their message of dissent. What started as an Aboriginal protest in December 2012 developed into a loosely knit political movement. Twitter served as an alternative platform of public communication that facilitated the visibility
of a marginalized social reality. This talk will discuss how engaged elites on Twitter shaped the message, often at odds with the narratives in mainstream media. The research provides insights into how engagement with networked technologies by people outside
news organisations neutralise, challenge or reinforce the power of media institutions to construct social reality and how it reconfigures journalism’s role to foster a </span><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; ">broadly informed
