News untold : community journalism and the failure to confront poverty in Appalachia community journalism and the failure to confront poverty in Appalachia - Morgantown : West Virginia University Press, 2017 - x, 242 pages ; includes bibliography & index
The News Untold offers an important new perspective on media narratives about poverty in Appalachia. It focuses on how small-town reporters and editors in some of the region's poorest communities decide what aspects of poverty are news, how their audiences interpret those decisions, and how those two related processes help shape understandings of economic need and local social responsibility. Focusing on patterns of both media creation and consumption, it shows how a lack of constructive news coverage of economic need can make it harder for the poor to voice their concerns. -- Provided by publisher
