The final case study examines the treatment of race and racism in health news, looking at the ways it interacts with cultural constructions health citizenship, and the forces that have produced a shift from deracialization of health news to a much stronger focus on race and racism in contemporary health news.
This book is ideal for undergraduate students and scholars across the social sciences, health sciences, cultural studies, and journalism.
