| Abstract | This thesis is about Sabrina Artel’s Trailer Talk a model of journalism that I have named, performance journalism. Stories from America’s traveling kitchen table converge as mobile media meets a radio show by inviting civic discourse on our streets. Trailer Talk’s performance journalism is a community event, a live performance and a public conversation that takes place in and around a 1965 BeeLine travel trailer. It combines the live in-person event and recorded conversations with social media tools and an interactive website. It explores ways that this hybrid journalistic form can enhance and engage community with a conversation event that encourages dialogue at the ever-expanding portable kitchen table that symbolizes the public square where our stories are shared, heard and contemplated. It considers essential in-person dialogue and public storytelling and uses the social media revolution to find additional ways to connect communities. The trailer itself becomes a portal of playful possibility and rigorous dialogue where the reflection and discovery of ideas happen on the streets. It gives voice to a community by creating a traveling town hall. The project brings diverse and often opposing voices together for the benefit of social engagement. Trailer Talk, which began in 2003, is mobile media in action that explores the re-imagining of public space and the connection between our physical and virtual dialogues with the art, culture, politics, and environmental themes. |
