Synopsis

This study explores how television tells stories about poverty in an ideological way, using empirical analysis of the presentation of poverty on RTE television. It draws upon an approach which combines production-based research with a qualitative content analysis of a range of television programmes which deal with poverty. The text examines how poverty is explained on factual, fictional and fund-raising television. The central contention of the book is that the extent and character of poverty is masked by presentation. The poor themselves remain largely voiceless and invisible across the range of programme types considered in this study. They are replaced by spokespersons and other "angel" figures who communicate with the television audience on their behalf. Television coverage of poverty is shows to be ideological.
