Devils and Angels

"Exploring how television tells stories about poverty in ideological ways, this book examines how poverty is explained on factual, fictional, and fund-raising television. Using empirical analysis of the presentation of poverty on television, it draws upon an approach that combines production-based research with a qualitative content analysis of a range of television programs that deal with poverty. The book's central contention is that presentation masks the extent and character of poverty."

Eoin Devereux is a lecturer of sociology at the University of Limerick.
