Comprehensive and interdisciplinary, this collection explores the
complex, and often problematic, ways in which the news media shapes
perceptions of poverty. Editor Sandra L. Borden and a diverse
collection of scholars and journalists question exactly how the
news media can reinforce (or undermine) poverty and privilege. This
book is divided into five parts that examine philosophical
principles for reporting on poverty, the history and nature of
poverty coverage, problematic representations of people
experiencing poverty, poverty coverage as part of reporting on
public policy and positive possibilities for poverty coverage. Each
section provides an introduction to the topic, as well as a broad
selection of essays illuminating key issues and a Q&A with a
relevant journalist. Topics covered include news coverage of
corporate philanthropy, structural bias in reporting,
representations of the working poor, the moral demands of
vulnerability and agency, community empowerment and citizen media.
The book's broad focus considers media and poverty at both the
local and global levels with contributors from 16 countries. This
is an ideal reference for students and scholars of media,
communication and journalism who are studying topics involving the
media and social justice, as well as journalists, activists and
policy makers working in these areas.
