This book focuses on the relationship between the media and those
who work as paid care assistants in care homes in Britain. It
explores this relationship in terms of the contemporary cultural
and personal understandings of care work and care homes that have
developed as the role has emerged as increasingly socially and
economically significant in society. Three strands of analysis are
integrated: an examination of the representations of paid care
workers in the British media; the experiences of current and former
care workers; and the autoethnographic reflections of the authors
who have experiences of working as care assistants. The book offers
a rich contextual and experiential account of the responsibilities,
challenges, and emotions of care work in British society. Grist and
Jennings make a case for the need to better value and more
accurately represent care work in contemporary media accounts.
