Recent years have seen a renewed interest in the relationship
between the news, media and death. Driven by a perceived ubiquity
of death and dying on television, in newspapers and on the
internet, many scholars have attempted to more closely examine
aspects of this coverage. The result is that there now exists a
large body of scholarly work on death in the news, yet what has
been lacking is a comprehensive synthesis of the field. This book
seeks to close this gap by analyzing the scholarship on death in
the news by way of a thematic approach. It provides a historical
overview, looks at the conditions of production, content and
reception, and also analyzes emerging trends in the representation
of death online. This fascinating account provides a much needed
overview of what we currently know about death in the news and
provides food for thought for future studies in the field.
