This book is the first collection of original research to explore
links between demographics and media coverage of emerging human
rights issues. It covers cross-national reporting on human
trafficking, HIV/AIDS, water contamination, and child labour; and
same-sex marriage, Guantanamo detainee rights, immigration reform,
and post-traumatic stress disorder in the United States. The
research asks questions such as: What are the principal catalysts
that propel rights issues into media agendas? Why do some surface
more quickly than others? And how do the demographics of
cross-national reporting differ from those driving multi-city US
nationwide coverage of rights claims? Using community structure
theory and innovative Media Vector content analysis, the eight
chapters of this book reveal three striking patterns that show how
differences in female empowerment, social or economic
vulnerability, and Midwestern newspaper geographic location, link
powerfully with variations in coverage of rights issues. The
patterns connecting demographics and rights claims confirm that
coverage of human rights can mirror the concerns of stakeholders
and vulnerable groups, contrary to conventional assumptions that
media typically serve as "guard dogs" reinforcing the interests of
political and economic elites. This book was originally published
as a special issue of The Atlantic Journal of Communication.
