Framing Class : Media Representations of Wealth and Poverty in America Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Framing Class explores how the media, including television, film, and news, depict wealth and poverty in the United States.

Fully updated and revised throughout, the second edition of this groundbreaking book now includes discussions of new media, updated media sources, and provocative new examples from movies and television, such as The Real Housewives series and media portrayals of the new poor and corporate executives in the recent recession.

The book introduces the concepts of class and media framing to students and analyzes how the media portray various social classes, from the elite to the very poor.

Its accessible writing and powerful examples make it an ideal text or supplement for courses in sociology, American studies, and communications.
