Media Analysis and Public Health: Contemporary Issues in Critical Public Health
Editat de Lesley Henderson, Shona Hilton, Judith Greenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2021
The collection asks a variety of questions about the role of media in analysing public health. Contributors ask: who is influential in producing the stories we see in the press and on social media? Who benefits, and who is damaged, by media debates on health topics? They investigate the role of big business in seeking to shape public opinion and consumption in print and online media; how issues such as hand washing come to be framed over time by newspapers; how conflicts over immunisations get covered; how health promotion messages do their work; and the positive role of online media in helping foster drug safety. Together, they reach the conclusion that since mass media is a crucial element of civic society, more in-depth understanding of how it works and what impacts it has on public health is essential.
Given the crucial role of the media in shaping health debates, pushing certain issues up the policy agenda, defining problems for audiences and presenting potential solutions, this book’s analysis will be of interest to all those studying how the media shape policy, as well as public health researchers with an interest in mass communication. This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Public Health.

This book showcases new approaches to studying public health in the media, suggesting that we need to further analyse the production of media, power dynamics, and audience reception of media messages. It was originally published as a special issue of Critical Public Health.
