Reviews
...especially significant * Journal of Economic Literature. Vol. 59, No. 2 *
Few issues are as pressing-or as misrepresented in our news media-as economic inequality. Grisold and Preston's highly original and timely intervention is empirically rich, drawing from both qualitative and quantitative analyses to illuminate the often-neglected intersections of economics and media. A critical, but ultimately hopeful book, this is essential reading for anyone interested in how media help obfuscate economic relationships-and what can be done to change it."-Victor Pickard, author of Democracy without Journalism?
How is mainstream news media contributing to the problem of, or a solution for, economic inequality? Grisold and Preston's multidisciplinary team answers this essential question with an extraordinary mastery of economics, media, and linguistics. A must-have volume."-Nuria Almiron, Universitat Pompeu Fabra
This timely and rigorous collection provides an absorbing examination of how, in the wake of Piketty's high-profile book, news media frame discussions about one of the most significant unfolding socio-economic developments of recent times: wealth inequality. It represents an indispensable resource for scholars both of economics and media around the world."-Gillian Doyle, Professor of Media Economics, University of Glasgow
