Lugo-Ocando, J (2014) Blaming the Victim: How Global Journalism Fails Those in Poverty. Pluto Press ISBN 0745334415
Abstract
Poverty, it seems, is a constant in today's news, usually the result of famine, exclusion or conflict. In Blaming the Victim, Jairo Lugo-Ocando sets out to de-construct and reconsider the variety of ways in which the global news media misrepresent and de-contextualise the causes and consequences of poverty worldwide. The result is that the fundamental determinant of poverty - inequality - is removed from their accounts.
