Summary:

The Mediation of Poverty examines the impact of digital technologies on poverty politics in Canada and the United Kingdom. As the first transnational comparison of poverty coverage, this book provides several research contributions, including an inside account of how digital technologies are changing media as well as political and activist working practices. The book effectively treats the influence of the neoliberal context on communication processes, specifically as related to poverty politics.
