Abstract

ABSTRACTMedia coverage of the March 24, 2018 March for Our Lives has been voluminous, including notable coverage framing the march in relation to historical precursors. Analyzing two chronotopes, or implicit orientations to space and time, embedded in this coverage, this essay contributes to efforts to understand journalism as a space of vernacular public memory. I argue that journalists and commentators mobilize historical precedent in ways that constrain the possible outcomes of teen activism in the present.
