About this product

Product Information

Poverty, it seems, is a constant in today's news, usually the result of famine, exclusion or conflict. In Blaming the Victim , Jairo Lugo-Ocando sets out to deconstruct and reconsider the variety of ways in which the global news media misrepresent and decontextualise the causes and consequences of poverty worldwide. The result is that the fundamental determinant of poverty - inequality - is removed from their accounts. The books asks many biting questions. When - and how - does poverty become newsworthy? How does ideology come into play when determining the ways in which 'poverty' is constructed in newsrooms - and how do the resulting narratives frame the issue? And why do so many journalists and news editors tend to obscure the structural causes of poverty? In analysing the processes of news production and presentation around the world, Lugo-Ocando reveals that the news-makers' agendas are often as problematic as the geopolitics they seek to represent. This groundbreaking study reframes the ways in which we can think and write about the enduring global injustice of poverty.

Reviews
Blaming the Victim is a cogent indictment of the news media's coverage of poverty around the globe and of the ideological agendas that coverage serves....Well supported with data and details and powerfully argued. The book should be read by everyone interested in way the media deal with issues of economic inequality and injustice., "Jairo Lugo-Ocando reveals clearly and concisely how, for the last three decades, the news media of the world has constructed pedestals for the super-rich, where voices criticizing growing inequality and rising poverty have been often dismissed as utopian fantasists." Danny Dorling, Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography, University of Oxford, UK "The issue of inequality and how it is represented in the media is a very important subject investigated with diligence and insight by the author in this book, Jairo Lugo-Ocando." Gordon Brown, MP, Former British Prime Minister, Jairo Lugo-Ocando reveals clearly and concisely how, for the last three decades, the news media of the world has constructed pedestals for the super-rich, where voices criticizing growing inequality and rising poverty have been often dismissed as utopian fantasists., 'Provides the clearest of reasons for setting aside the traditional rules of journalism, and embracing instead a view of shared risk, where journalists' own concerns about their future are reflected in their reporting', 'The book should be read by everyone interested in way the media deal with issues of economic inequality and injustice'
