This book analyses diverse public discourses to investigate how
wealth inequality has been portrayed in the British media from the
time of the Second World War to the present day. Using a variety of
corpus-assisted methods of discourse analysis, chapters present an
historicized perspective on how the mass media have helped to make
sharply increased wealth inequality seem perfectly normal. Print,
radio and online media sources are interrogated using methodologies
grounded in critical discourse analysis, critical stylistics and
corpus linguistics in order to examine the influence of the media
on the British electorate, who have passively consented to the
emergence of an even less egalitarian Britain. Covering topics such
as Second World War propaganda, the 'Change4Life' anti-obesity
campaign and newspaper, parliamentary and TV news programme
attitudes to poverty and austerity, this book will be of value to
all those interested in the mass media's contribution to the
entrenched inequality in modern Britain.
