Fink, J. and Lomax, H. (2014) Challenging images? Dominant, residual and emergent meanings in on-line media representations of child poverty (original) (raw)

The paper examines the representation of child poverty in British online media, focusing on the imagery used to portray disadvantaged communities. It critiques the dominant narratives shaped by political and ideological contexts that discourage nuanced understanding of poverty. The research highlights a trend towards stigmatizing portrayals that reinforce societal biases against the poor, calling for a re-evaluation of media strategies to offer more comprehensive insights into the complexities of child poverty.
