Quincy Hodges: Framing Addiction, Gebunden

Blurb

Framing Addiction uncovers how mainstream American media have shaped public understanding of drug epidemics through narratives deeply influenced by race, class, and power. Drawing on content and discourse analyses of six major newspapers, compares the heroin epidemic of the 1970s with the opioid crisis of the 21st century, exposing how Black and Latino communities were criminalized while White opioid users were portrayed as victims in need of care.

A vital resource for journalists, scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intersections of media, race, and public health.
