It highlights that Malthusianism is present in the public discourse, becoming an underlining feature in news coverage of the so- called ‘ underclass ’ . Our findings broadly contradict the normative claim that journalism ‘speaks truth to power’, and suggest instead that overall as a political practice, journalism tends to reproduce and reinforce hegemonic discourses of power. The piece is based on critical discourse analysis (CDA), which has been applied to a significant sample of news articles published by tabloid newspapers in Britain which focussed on the concept of the ‘ underclass ’ . By looking at the evidence, the authors argue that the ‘underclass’ is a concept used by some journalists to ca st people living in poverty as ‘undeserving’ of public and state support. In so doing, these journalists help create a narr ative which supports cuts in welfare provisions and additional punitive measures against some of the most vulnerable members of society.","PeriodicalId":235675,"journal":{"name":"The Discourse of Financial Crisis and Austerity","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117187461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
