- Check out my collaborative publications on topics of concern to Animal Rights activists and sympathizers and to vegans and vegetarians. Natalie Khazaal & Nuria Almiron. 2016. "An Angry Cow Is Not a Good Eating Experience: How US and Spanish Media Are Shifting Crude to Camouflaged Speciesism in Concealing Non-Human Perspective." Journalism Studies 17:3. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/1461670X.2014.982966#.VHza_Ye8pKY Abstract: Recent developments in the ideology of speciesism (meaning bias against members of other animal species) within the media deserve analysis. Such discussion is important because speciesism is a major ethical concern. Nonhuman animals suffer massive harm within the industrial farming complex, confined throughout their lives and a high proportion killed while still infants or juveniles. The joint efforts of material institutions, cultural narratives and embodied affects conceal this from the public. As research on this topic is scarce, this study aims to provide tools to improve the quality of journalism regarding ethical issues that concern our relationship with nonhuman animals. We hope to help to formulate an emerging critical animal studies perspective on journalism studies. This article explores the role of news media in constructing perceptions of nonhumans used for food and their treatment. We compare 60 articles from The New York Times (United States) and El País (Spain) over a two-year time frame (2011–2013) using a critical discourse analysis. Our results show that, while both newspapers play a major role in concealing the nonhumans' cruel reality, a distinction can be drawn between the crude speciesism of El País and the camouflaged, more deceptive style of The New York Times. Nuria Almiron & Natalie Khazaal. 2016. "Lobbying Against Compassion Speciesist Discourse in the Vivisection Industrial Complex." American Behavioral Scientist. Abstract: The entire span of animal research from captivity to death causes immense suffering for hundreds of millions of nonhuman animals every year. Their suffering also disturbs the public, which is increasingly aware—due to animal advocacy, scientists’ testaments, and growing direct evidence—that animals’ use in biomedical research is more a matter of tradition than any proven superiority of vivisection over other modes of experimentation. Yet in response, the vivisection industrial complex lobbies against animal welfare regulation and animal rights activism. This article discusses how the political economy of the vivisection industry supports the speciesist business of animal testing by mimicking the language of animal welfare to increasingly obstruct the public’s compassion.
