The difficulty of identifying and explaining movements’ cultural impacts should not stop movement scholars from trying to do so. In this introduction to the special issue, we outline some of the challenges of theorizing cultural influence and possible ways around them. We emphasize the role of the institutions that make up the public sphere—including but not limited to the news media-- in shaping movements’ impacts.
