Until the recent political shift pushed workers back into the media spotlight, the mainstream media had largely ignored this significant part of American society in favor of the moneyed "upscale" consumer for more than four decades. Christopher R. Martin now reveals why and how the media lost sight of the American working class and the effects of doing so.The damning indictment of the mainstream media that flows through "No Longer Newsworthy" is a wakeup call about the critical role of the media in telling news stories about labor unions, workers, and working-class listeners. As Martin charts the decline of labor reporting from the late 1960s onwards, he reveals the shift in news coverage as the mainstream media abandoned newspapers, especially, wrote off working-class readers as useless for their business model, the American worker became invisible. In "No Longer Newsworthy", Martin covers this shift in focus, the loss of political voice for the working class, and the emergence of a more conservative media in the form of Christian television, talk radio, Fox News, and conservative websites.Now, with our fractured society and news media, Martin offers the mainstream media recommendations for how to push back against right-wing media and once again embrace the working class as a critical to its audience and democratic function.This book is published by Cornell University Press.?2019 Cornell University (P)2019 Redwood Audiobooks
