Poor News examines the way discourses of poverty are articulated in
the news media by incorporating specific narratives and definers
that bring about certain ideological worldviews. This happens, the
authors claim, because journalists and news editors make use of a
set of information strategies while accessing certain sources
within specific social and political dynamics. The book looks at
the case of the news media in Britain since the industrial
revolution and produces a historical account of how these media
discourses came into play. The main thesis is that there have been
different historical cycles that reflect particular hegemonic ideas
of each period. Consequently, the role of mainstream journalism has
been a subservient one for existing elites when it comes to the
propagation of dominant ideas.
