The issue of socio-economic inequality has become an increasingly
important question for journalism and the academy. The 2008
economic crisis and the years of austerity which followed
exasperated class and regional division and as an even greater
economic shock emerges from the aftermath of the Covid 19 pandemic,
the role of journalism and the wider media in the production and
reproduction of inequality assumes greater importance. This edited
collection includes eight chapters examining instances of where
inequality is examined in the media, for example coverage of Thomas
Piketty, precarity, corporate tax rates and race-, class- and
gender-related issues, in order to address the following questions:
Does journalism treat the issue of inequality in a satisfactory
fashion? Does journalism challenge powerful interests, or does
journalism play an ideological role in the reproduction of
structures of inequality itself? How do increasingly poor working
conditions of journalists impact on the coverage of inequality? The
chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue
of the Critical Discourse Studies journal.
