- Description:
- The internet has significantly transformed how news is produced, consumed, and distributed. As a result, the news industry has transitioned from ad-supported to subscription-based models regulated by digital paywalls. In light of this disruption, it’s crucial to investigate not only how news consumers adapt to this change but also how economic incentives shape content coverage. We analyzed the staggered adoption of digital paywalls by 17 regional U.S. newspapers over 17 years in a difference-in-difference framework to examine the impact of paywall adoption on topical news content coverage. Our results reveal a small but significant decrease in local and soft news coverage, with varying effects across different urban contexts. Specifically, local news coverage experienced a more substantial decline in smaller cities (population < 500,000) and regions experiencing an influx of younger residents (age < 40 years). Conversely, soft news coverage increased in areas with a younger demographic influx, indicating a strategic shift by newspapers to cater to digital-savvy audiences and adapt to changing consumption patterns. Our findings underscore the delicate balance between financial imperatives and editorial choices in the newspaper industry and highlight the need for ongoing research into the effects of digital monetization strategies on journalistic content creation, media plurality, and civic accountability.

- Description:
- The data sources and methods used to process the raw data are described in the paper forthcoming in Science and the associated Supplementary Information. A preprint for an earlier version of this paper is available here: https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/754e3. These data are anonymized (see Methodology for details). Consequently, running the same code on these data vs. the data in the paper does not yield *identical* results but qualitatively similar ones.

- Description:
- Most of this deposit is composed of a step-by-step explanation of how to replicate the work conducted in Chapters 2 and 5 of my dissertation (available in DeepBlue Documents under the title Urban Agriculture: Good for People, Places, and Planet?). Very little actual data is catalogued here, instead largely relying on links to the secondary datasets online. In fact, this is an intentional choice, since any replication would likely want updated data to produce more real-time results. This deposit is intended to accompany the dissertation and may not be the final version of these two manuscripts or their associated methods. For more up-to-date methods and analysis, please search Google Scholar or your affiliated library for Jason Hawes and some combination of keywords including urban agriculture, scaling-up, tradeoffs, or the names of the cities in question.

- THE DATA: Unfortunately, we are unable to share our data for this project. Since we were working with a vulnerable population (children), we were asked by Queens University Belfast’s IRB-equivalent to include language in the consent documents indicating that the data would not be shared outside of the research team. Thus, the datasets generated during and/or analyzed during the current study are not publicly available as participants were informed that no-one outside of the research team would have access to the research data when they signed their consent forms. Thus, we provide Stata, R and Mplus scripts used to generate all tables and figures reported in the paper. Since we cannot share the raw study data, most of these files cannot be run, but in the interest of transparency we include the scripts so that our code can be checked. Since a major portion of the paper is the LTA modeling, we took an additional step there and generated simulated data that allows the R+Mplus scripts to be run. These runnable scripts and the simulated data are contained in the subfolder LTA_code_EXEC.

- Description:
- These materials are SPSS datasets and syntax files related to a project investigating the weight given to various moral domains when forming impressions of others. We looked at how participants' impressions of the moral character of social targets varied when provided with information that those targets behaved in ways that upheld or violated various moral domains. Following this, we also looked at whether participants' willingness to cooperate with a target changed based on those behaviors, and whether judgments following information about the social targets remained robust under cognitive load.

- This data was produced by the site-based archaeological survey at the nuraghe S'Urachi in west-central Sardinia (San Vero Milis, Oristano, Sardinia). The survey was carried out from 2015-2017 as a part of the ongoing Progetto S'Urachi, an archaeological project that aims to understand daily life around the monumental Bronze Age tower of S'Urachi during the later occupation of the landscape over the course of the 1st millennium BCE.

- The 2023 DREAM Street Fair was a free, family-friendly festival celebrating our neighborhood’s spirit of community, entrepreneurship, arts and culture, and healthy living. Hosted by Jermaine “Big Fresh” Carey and rising comedian Nadirah Pierre, and headlined by multi-platinum recording artist Freeway, the event featured performances by Khalil Ismail, Ain’t Afraid, Journalist 103, Tariq Toure, and Hardcore Detroit. It was an afternoon of empowering poetry, soulful vocals, classic hip-hop, world-class break dancing, and fun interactions with the crowd. Nearly 40 vendors, including some of the area’s best food trucks, set up shop to interact with 3,000 attendees over the course of the day. And children were treated to bounce houses, button-making, book readings, and outdoor video gaming., Primarily hosted by Dream of Detroit, a local organization combining community organizing and development to revitalize a Westside neighborhood, the Street Fair was a true community partnership. The Detroit Repertory Theatre, the city’s longest-running neighborhood theatre, opened up their lot to sell treasured props from 60 years worth of performances. The HUDA Clinic, our local free health care center, offered dental screenings, health assessments and referral services. And, at the HUDA Urban Garden, attendees picked fruits and vegetables, and learned creative ways to make tasty and healthy meals and snacks. Putting on a free neighborhood festival of this scale would have been impossible without the support of Egalitarian Metropolis and sponsors like Mercy-USA. Plainly put: these types of events don’t usually happen in neighborhoods like ours. That’s why, for nearly a decade, Dream of Detroit has been working toward a truly inclusive Detroit recovery where the idea that “every neighborhood has a future” is more than just a political slogan., and Our goal with this event was to host an excellent celebration for our community members, and to shine a spotlight on the community-led placemaking and development happening in our neighborhood. The DREAM Street Fair stands alongside other initiatives like the DREAM Community Land Trust, our partnership with ProsperUs Detroit Entrepreneurship Workshop, and our membership in the Coalition for Property Tax Justice, as just some of the programs we are involved in to do our small part in creating an Egalitarian Metropolis.

- Description:
- Launched in response to the growing crisis of narrative infrastructure, the Detroit River Story Lab is a collaborative, public-facing initiative that leverages the sociocultural, economic, and ecological centrality of the Detroit River corridor to reimagine it as an urban case study in narrative placemaking and civic renewal. Beginning with the premise that place-based storymaking is vital to sustaining democratic values and community capacity for self-determination, the Lab partners on projects designed to support the narrative capacities of local urban communities through the story-telling channels of community journalism, place-based education, and public history., There are many stories from across a variety of periods and contexts that foreground the prevalence of aquatic racialization in our region. These include the legal restrictions placed on Black residents’ access to the Detroit River in the aftermath of the successful escape of Thornton and Lucie Blackburn from Kentucky slave catchers in 1833, repeated episodes of the often violent expulsion of Black workers and residents from Wyandotte and other sundown towns along the Detroit River between the 1870s and 1940s – and the repeated erasure of these stories from official published histories of these towns, the Bob-Lo Excursion Company’s policy, in the 1930’s and 40’s, of barring Blacks from the ferry boats that provided access for Detroiters to the Boblo Island amusement park, a policy famously up-ended by the US Supreme Court in 1948 after being challenged by a 24-year-old Detroit, Sarah Elizabeth Ray, after being ordered to leave the boat, the demolition of the predominantly Black, riverside neighborhood of Black Bottom in Detroit in the 1950s in the name of urban renewal, the UN’s 2014 appeal, on the grounds of basic human rights, for the city of Detroit to restore access to water sourced from their own Detroit River to residents who can’t afford monthly water bills, and consumption restrictions on Detroit River fish important to local populations owing to long histories of environmental degradation., and Considered together, these cases would seem to point to an undertheorized dimension of racialized systems of hierarchy and exclusion in the Great Lakes region and possibly the US more generally. The origins and long-term effects of zones of racial exclusion in the economically decisive domains of work, education, and housing are by now well known. The role of waterways as similarly delineated spaces of privilege and oppression is less commonly noted; in a state whose history has been so thoroughly defined by its lakes and rivers and so regularly scarred by racial conflict, the phenomenon of aquatic racialization calls out for integrative examination and public reckoning.
