Considering poverty politics at symbolic and structural levels, Joanna Redden uses a frame analysis of mainstream and alternative news content to identify which narratives dominate poverty coverage, what is missing from mainstream news coverage, and what can be learned by looking at alternative sources of news and information. The Mediation of Poverty argues that news coverage privileges and embeds neoliberal approaches to the issue of poverty in Canada and the United Kingdom. Interviews with journalists, politicians, researchers, and activists enable discussion, on a micro level, of the changing nature of news, politics, and activism, and how these changes influences poverty politics. Redden raises concerns about how the speed of digitally-mediated working environments is reshaping—even foreclosing—opportunities for communication, reflection, and contestation in a way that reinforces the dominance of market-based thinking, and limits political responses to poverty.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 160mmItem Width: 19mmItem Weight: 417gAuthor: Joanna ReddenGenre: Language & ReferenceTopic: Social Sciences, Society & Culture, Law & PoliticsType: TextbookRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
