Abstract:

This book analyses diverse public discourses to investigate how wealth
inequality has been portrayed in the British media from the time of the Second
World War to the present day. Using a variety of corpus-assisted methods of
discourse analysis, chapters present an historicized perspective on how the
mass media have helped to make sharply increased wealth inequality seem
perfectly normal. Print, radio and online media sources are interrogated using
methodologies grounded in critical discourse analysis, critical stylistics and
corpus linguistics in order to examine the influence of the media on the
British electorate, who have passively consented to the emergence of an even
less egalitarian Britain.

Covering topics such as Second World War propaganda, the 'Change4Life'
anti-obesity campaign and newspaper, parliamentary and TV news programme
attitudes to poverty and austerity, this book will be of value to all those
interested in the mass media's contribution to the entrenched inequality in
modern Britain.
