Ageing and the Media : International Perspectives, Paperback / softback Book

Ageing and the Media : International Perspectives Paperback / softback

Part of the Ageing in a Global Context series

Paperback / softback

Description

Media representations of ageing play a role in stereotype formation and even reinforce them.

Encountering these stereotypes can negatively impact the self-esteem, health status, physical wellbeing and cognitive performance of older people. This international collection examines different dimensions of ageing and ageism in a range of media.

Chapters include explorations of the UK media during the COVID-19 pandemic; age, gender and mental health in Ghana; advertising in Brazil; magazines in Canada; Taiwanese newspapers; comics, graphic novels and more.

Bringing together leading scholars, this book critically considers differences in media portrayals and how older adults use and interact with the media.
