Editor Sandra L. Borden, along with a diverse group of scholars and journalists, seeks to answer the pressing question of how the media can perpetuate or challenge poverty and privilege. This book is organized into five distinct parts, each exploring philosophical principles for reporting on poverty, the historical and evolving nature of poverty coverage, problematic representations of individuals living in poverty, poverty coverage as part of reporting on public policy, and positive possibilities for poverty coverage. Each section begins with an introduction to the topic, accompanied by a comprehensive selection of essays that shed light on key issues, and a Q\u0026amp;A with a relevant journalist. The topics covered in this book encompass a wide range, including news coverage of corporate philanthropy, structural biases in reporting, portrayals of the working poor, the moral implications of vulnerability and agency, community empowerment, and citizen media. With contributions from 16 countries, the book's broad focus encompasses both local and global perspectives on media and poverty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of media, communication, and journalism who are exploring subjects related to the media and social justice, as well as journalists, activists, and policy makers working in these fields. The book offers a wealth of insights and perspectives, contributing to a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between the media and poverty and its implications for society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1106g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 182 x 261 x 35 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367260729\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44104926134522,"sku":"9780367260729","price":233.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/2b029f1caa5ae4cf49bf46241ba52d40.jpg?v=1633659654","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/routledge-companion-to-media-and-poverty","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
