Until the recent political shift pushed workers back into the media
spotlight, the mainstream media had largely ignored this
significant part of American society in favor of the moneyed
"upscale" consumer for more than four decades. Christopher R.
Martin now reveals why and how the media lost sight of the American
working class and the effects of it doing so. The damning
indictment of the mainstream media that flows through No Longer
Newsworthy is a wakeup call about the critical role of the media in
telling news stories about labor unions, workers, and working-class
readers. As Martin charts the decline of labor reporting from the
late 1960s onwards, he reveals the shift in news coverage as the
mainstream media abandoned labor in favor of consumer and business
interests. When newspapers, especially, wrote off working-class
readers as useless for their business model, the American worker
became invisible. In No Longer Newsworthy, Martin covers this shift
in focus, the loss of political voice for the working class, and
the emergence of a more conservative media in the form of Christian
television, talk radio, Fox News, and conservative websites. Now,
with our fractured society and news media, Martin offers the
mainstream media recommendations for how to push back against
right-wing media and once again embrace the working class as
critical to its audience and its democratic function.
