Thanks, Jim. I really look forward to reading this! And, as a cousin to your
excellent proverb, here's another one that I remember from my time in Kenya,
which speaks to our task at hand: "The best place to start eating an
elephant is anywhere!"
Apologies to our vegetarian friends, of course.
Cheers!

Subject: [SDOH] Need for Media Advocacy
Importance: High
Note: the entire thread of this conversation is
best read from the bottom message up.
Hello Scott,
Thanks for your cogent and passionate response to
my message. I agree with most everything you've said.
My view is that 'political will derives from
(perceived) public support'. We need to engage
the average Canadian as much or more than the
politicians. My sense is that most Canadians:
a) do not know the evidence re inequities,
b) do not fully understand that inequities are
bad and costly (to them), and most important,
c) don't feel ready to act on an agenda of change
that would actually be in their best interests.
To date, (as Michael Hayes' excellent research
shows) this discourse has either been largely
ignored or co-opted by those who are not
interested in talking about inequities. My
strong feeling is that we need a countervailing
national media advocacy strategy to mobilize the public.
Below, is a section of a small grant that we have
to try and engage community folks around this
issue. We had a fantastic workshop with Michael
Anderson from Portland. Attached is case study
of their highly-successful, media advocacy work
on homelessness. I would love to mount a
similar, well-funded, persistent and pervasive
strategy and parallel evaluation protocol across Canada.

history will be written by the hunters! - African Proverb
Thanks Jim
Harnessing Media as an Ally in Addressing Homelessness
"News has power to set public agendas, direct
attention to particular issues, and, ultimately,
influence how we think about issues. In short,
news is an important link between citizens and
their government." Media scholar F. Gilliam.
Homelessness is a social, economic and public
health issue in BC & Canada. Vancouver faces
challenges in its Downtown Eastside – a community
of enormous poverty and health inequities. A 2007
Mayor’s poll ranked the City’s top priority as
homelessness (25%). Another 17% cited affordable
housing. The most expected legacy of the 2010
Olympics was reduced homelessness (32%). The
issue cited as being the most important was
homelessness (74%). This poll and our
SSHRC-funded research provides evidence that a)
Canadians care deeply about homelessness, b) they
tend to attribute homelessness to social and
political causes, c) providers are eager to
engage the public as a partner, and finally d)
training/capacity-building is needed to harness
media as a partner in eradicating homelessness.
Our project is designed to reach out to the
community (providers, NGOs, media) and to build
their capacity to directly engage Canadians in a
public conversation regarding potential policy
and program solutions that will erase
homelessness and improve the quality of life,
social functioning and health of persons who are
marginalized. As noted in the present Request for
Proposals, “to address the problem (homelessness)
properly, the public, private and not-for-profit
sectors must pool resources and co-ordinate
efforts by strengthening existing partnerships
and creating new ones”. Our specific objectives
are to conduct a participatory,
community-outreach project that: a) gathers
information on service providers’ experiences and
capacity regarding their use of media and media
advocacy (MA), b) conducts a needs assessment
regarding providers’ potential use(s) of media,
c) to co-host a community forum, student seminar,
pre-conference, MA training workshop, and a
conference session on homelessness, and d) tracks
the impact(s) of the workshop on participants and
their resulting MA activities. It addresses the
expected emphases on ‘best practices’ by engaging
a well-established, MA approach delivered by
world leaders in the area. Our work is grounded
in 4 premises: 1) the nature of homelessness will
not change until we engage Canadians in more open
discourse around its causes/solutions; 2)
individuals and groups working on homelessness
have an expressed desire, but limited ‘capacity’
to employ media as an ally in reducing
homelessness, 3) ‘media advocacy’ offers an
established, effective way to engage and train
communities in using the media to promote
positive social change, and 4) there is a great
benefit to be had in engaging media as a partner
in fostering positive social change re
homelessness. Our project will directly provide
new knowledge re policy- and community-relevant
research. It will increase the capacity of
communities and service providers to address the
problem of homeless. In parallel, it will build
the ‘receptor capacity’ of our community partners
to access, understand, conduct and employ
relevant regional and local research in their
work. Our project will also engage students and
community learners from our CIHR-funded, training
program called, Partners in Community Health
Research (see pchr.net). In the end, it will
strengthen relations building between new and
existing research networks, reduce duplication,
pool resources/expertise; and support and
facilitate knowledge mobilization. It speaks to
SSHRC’s and the Homelessness Partnering
Secretariat wish to foster greater awareness of
issues related to homelessness among government
and NGO stakeholders and the public.
Rationale: We ground our rationale in the notion
that, "no one level of government can address
homelessness and there is a need to better
understand the diversity of homelessness.” Our
aim is to identify service providers’ views and
experiences in using the media to advocate for
policies and programs that would reduce homeless
and improve the quality of life and health of
affected persons. As above, our objectives are to
conduct a participatory, outreach project that:
a) gathers information on providers’
experiences/capacity regarding their use of media
and media advocacy (MA), b) conducts a needs
assessment regarding providers’ potential use of
media, c) to co-host a community forum, student
seminar and training workshop, and d) tracks the
impact of the workshop on participants and their MA activities.
Empirical Evidence on Societal Perceptions of
Homelessness: The empirical evidence on social
perceptions of homelessness can be grouped into 3
classes: news media, popular books, and
peer-reviewed articles. The most thorough
analysis of the news media can be found in Min’s
(1999) Reading the Homeless: Media's Image of
Homeless Culture. This compilation provides
chapters on cultural interpretation, the homeless
in movies, television, and news. We could find
only one measure of attitudes toward homelessness
(Kingree & Daves, 1997). There is also limited
peer-reviewed research. Toro (1992) examined
beliefs, attitudes, and knowledge about
homelessness in a survey of the public. More
recently, Alexander (2003) looked at the impact
of contact on stigmatizing attitudes toward
people with mental illness. This work suggests
that many people’s attributions around
homelessness are distorted, biased and
inaccurate. They suggest problems regarding the
stigmatization and marginalization of the homeless.
Media Advocacy (MA) As a Strategy for Action:
Many groups do not take advantage of the news
media because they lack an overall approach in
which to develop a media strategy. MA is the
strategic use of mass media in combination with
community advocacy to advance public policy
initiatives. The primary goal of MA is the
promotion of healthy public policies. It can be
differentiated from traditional mass media
strategies in a number of ways. MA shifts the
focus from the personal to the social, from the
individual to the political, from the behavior or
practice to the policy or environment. While
traditional media approaches try to fill the
"information gap," MA emphasizes the "power gap."
Improvements in health status are believed to
come about primarily from gaining more power over
the policy environment rather than just gaining
more knowledge about health behaviors. MA is
concerned with “framing for access” and “shaping
the debate.” Framing for access means
understanding what news is and how journalists do
their job. MA capitalizes on elements of
newsworthiness such as conflict, controversy, and
timeliness to increase the prospects for gaining
coverage. Shaping the debate to focus on social
accountability involves developing story elements
so that our story is told to reflect our policy
perspectives. This is difficult because the news
media tend to emphasize the personal rather than
policy. Shaping the debate requires a
sophisticated understanding of how public
discussion evolves. MA works to shape the debate
by translating what are frequently seen as
individual problems to social issues, presenting
policy approaches, and making a practical appeal.
Wallack and his colleagues provide many concrete
examples of the power and benefits of MA (Media
Advocacy for Public Health, 1999; News for a
Change: An Advocate's Guide to Working with
Media, 1999). Anderson and colleagues from the
Community Development Network (Portland) give a
powerful case of the role of media advocacy in achieving supportive housing.
Detailed Description of Project Components
Component I: Pre-Workshop Interviews: Component I
will occur prior to the Media Advocacy Workshop.
It will involve interviews of service providers,
NGOs and media representatives (N ~ 30). The
pre-MAW interviews will explore participants’
experiences in dealing with media around
homelessness and serve as a pre-MAW ‘needs
assessment’. This will help us to focus the
actual MAW. Interviews will be face-to-face or by
telephone. We will pilot test our protocol to
ensure clarity of questions, ease of
understanding, and appropriate length. Graduate
students or community partners will do the
interviews and will collect descriptive data on
participants (i.e., age, gender). Interviews will
be taped and will take 30-60 minutes. We will
transcribe and analyze interview data using NVIVO
software. Themes/categories will be
compared/contrasted across persons. NVIVO can
document and index data in a way that allows for
manipulation of concepts and themes. We have used NVIVO in prior research.
Workshop participants/interviewees will be chosen
so as to ensure a diversity of perspectives
(i.e., age, gender, street youth, seniors,
aboriginals, immigrants/refugees). Half will be
drawn from the Lower Mainland of BC. The
remainder will be drawn from across BC. In this
way, the MAW will help to build the capacity of
those from more rural/remote areas. Notice of the
Workshop will be posted on the Conference website
and we will offer conference registration fees
for all participants. This will maximize our
outreach to participants and will help to enable
their involvement by offsetting the Conference registration fees.
Component II: Media Advocacy Workshop: Component
II will comprise the MAW that will take place
prior to the above International Conference. The
MAW will be a 1-day Workshop co-hosted by our
Centre & Lookout. Instructors will include Dr.
Wallack’s team from the US, local media who have
written about homelessness, UBC personnel, and
two leading former government bureaucrats. The
inclusion of media and bureaucrats will provide
important information regarding their respective
perspectives on what approaches/factors are most
likely to be effective in influencing news
coverage and policy regarding homelessness. The
Workshop will be organized around the
well-established, principles of media advocacy.
Iyengar suggests that the media sets the public
agenda, which, in turn, sets the policy agenda.
In short, by structuring public discourse, the
media determine our social priorities. But it is
not merely the volume of news that determines an
issue=s ascension onto the policy agenda, but
also the composition of that news. The way that a
problem is presented, its news composition,
determines how the public will view an issue such
as homelessness. This is what is referred to as
"framing." The Workshop will teach ‘framing’
skills as the central organizing principle that
structures meaning of news coverage. Framing
determines the boundaries of the story - what
gets left in, and what gets left out. As such, it
conveys what is relevant to any given issue, and
what is not. Participants will also learn about
two basic types of frames: the episodic and the
thematic. The episodic reduces life to a series
of disconnected episodes, isolated events or case
studies. By contrast the thematic news frame
takes the form of a take-out or backgrounder, it
is linked to the conditions that cause the
particular instance, and it explores context. The
vast majority of all news accounts of social
issues are episodic. The challenge therefore is
to build a frame that avoids these pitfalls and
gets as much theme and context into the story as
possible, while still respective basic tenets of
journalism. The frame must tell us what is at
stake. The frame must tell us the problem
deserves attention. The frame must tell us that
we know how to solve this problem. The frame must
tell us the solution is political. (We can=t just
blame individuals). By incorporating framing and
its consequences, participants will avoid the
five most common mistakes associated with public
interest campaigns: that the policy is the
message, that the public opinion is the message,
that the message is a slogan or silver bullet,
that all people need are the facts, or more
facts, and that all we need to do is think like journalists.
In parallel, we will also hold a student seminar
on MA at our Centre, and a public forum on
homelessness and the media. We have successfully
run several fora. Local journalists will take
part as panelists and discussants. We will hold
the Forum in the Science Theatre. It holds 207
persons and has capacity for doing an Interactive
E-Survey of attendees’ attitudes to homelessness
and their views on the most effective media
content/styles. Each seat has a keypad that will
allow immediate data collection. As part of the
MAW, seminar and community forum we plan to give
the Attitudes to Homeless Inventory to all attendees.
Component III: Conference Panel & Group
Presentations: In Component III, a subset of
participants will take part in 1/2 day panel and
group presentations during the international
Conference. These sessions will highlight
Canadians experiences and efforts to address
homelessness to an international audience.
Component IV: Post-Conference Follow-up of
Workshop Participants and Activities (11/08 –
04/09): The MA evaluation literature is still
evolving. Although small numbers of
quasi-experimental studies and case studies have
been published, these as yet represent a limited
evidence base. Wallack et al. have stressed the
importance of evaluation to provide feedback to
MA practitioners on how to enhance their efforts,
and to funders and researchers seeking to assess
MA's effectiveness as a health promotion
strategy. Recent reviews have also called for
research into MA's value as a strategy for
combating health inequalities. A key output of
our MAW will be the production of MA plans by
each participant. We will provide each person
with information and MA resources (see attached
workbook). In particular, we will focus on
engaging with the BC Association of Community
Newspapers (N =103, 2.3 million circulation) that
links to a wide range of communities. Our hope is
to track and assess ‘implementation’ of these
plans in specific communities. We hope to
maximize the payoff of our MA activities by using
the evaluation framework put forward by Stead
(2002). It proposes a series of indicators and
research methods for evaluating MA at the levels
of formative, process and outcome evaluation. We
will use the framework to encourage strategic
reflection on the MA process, to guide evaluation
of specific interventions, and ultimately to
demonstrate to funders the importance and
complexity of evaluation of MA. The framework
includes formative & process evaluation and
suggests potential indicators by which progress
toward MA objectives can be measured. These
include media, public opinion, policy and
community indicators. Media indicators will
include increases in the amount/profile of news
coverage. We will also use Westwood’s criteria of
prominence, content, stakeholders, the
orientation of reporting, and the type of report.
Public opinion indicators will include
saliency/levels of public support for addressing
homelessness (i.e. letters to newspaper editors,
community meetings, Potential policy indicators
may include new policy statements, legislation,
regulations, organizational procedures, and
resource allocations. Community indicators may
include changes in knowledge, attitudes and
behavior(s) toward the homeless. Finally, Stead
suggests advocacy indicators including increased
profile, proficiency in dealing with media, and policy consultations.
Anticipated Deliverables of the Work: Our work
will contribute to our understanding of MA and
provide insights into experiences, needs and
capacity of providers to use MA. It will yield
information on media activities by service
providers. Our strengths are strong
community/media connections, a balance of
academic rigor and policy relevance, a foundation
of prior work and established methods for
participatory research, and the practical lessons
that will be produced. We believe our project
addresses the criteria for the Public Outreach
Grants. Our work builds on existing relations and
networks and will foster creation of new
partnerships between providers and media in
several communities. It has obvious, enormous
potential to reach new audiences, and to change
public attitudes and action(s) around
homelessness. Given our track record and
combination of media and community links, we
believe our proposed work is highly feasible and
that it will contribute to sustainable
improvements in community capacity. Finally, we
believe that our proposed community outreach
activities will yield strong value and payoff for the requested budget.
