From April 15 to 21, Prevention of Violence Against Women Week, guest blogger Joanna Chiu and guest videographer Camila Galdino, produce a series on resisting media representations as a way to prevent violence against girls and women.

Before anyone had even heard of the show Jersey Shore, MTV leaked out a clip of Snooki (Nicole Polizzi) getting punched in a face by a man in a bar, and the clip went viral, prompting articles like "The Countdown to Snooki Getting Punched in the Face Is On!" (trigger warning for link).

The author of that article for Barstool Sports wrote:

UPDATE late July 8, 2011: Responding to community pressure and a boycott, ESKA announced yesterday that it was pulling its racist ads from circulation and apologizes.

Please take note of the following information issued by ESKA Water concerning its most recent advertising campaign.

Student media in Canada could be in trouble; with fewer advertising dollars to go around and a shifting media climate, its future is no longer clear. What is clear though, is that student media must change, or it could cease to exist altogether.

Perhaps one of the most prominent examples of student media in crisis took place on Jan. 28, 2011, when the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) announced that it was revoking the broadcast license for CKLN, the student radio station at Ryerson University in Toronto.
