Description
Book SynopsisWhen pundits constantly decry bias in the media, we have naturally become skeptical of the news. But the bluntness of such critiques masks the sophisticated way in which the media frame important stories. This title examines the coverage of two major economic crashes - in 1929 and 1987 - in order to break down the way newspapers normalize crises.
Trade Review"While the economy is well covered by the news media, that coverage has not been subjected to the level of scholarly scrutiny warranted by its importance as an aspect of public affairs. Carefully researched and clearly written, Front Page Economics offers an insightful analysis of the business beat and the explanatory strategies its journalists employ." - James S. Ettema, Northwestern University"
