The volume contains two original chapters: one on nationwide US coverage of the 'Occupy' movement in the expanded introduction, and another on nationwide US coverage of universal health care. Second, a traditional emphasis on media as instruments of political and social 'control' is replaced by media as potential mirrors of social 'change,' exploring 'bottom-up' measures of 'vulnerability', 'concentrated disadvantage', and 'ethnic diversity/pluralism'. First, contributions explore a far wider range of community characteristics by employing creative methodologies, modern archives, and databases that facilitate larger, more diverse samples multilevel and longitudinal analyses composite measures of both 'content' and editorial judgment new technologies and social network analysis. This innovative book differs from previous community structure volumes in two ways.

Using a 'community structure' approach, and rejecting the perspective that studies of media and audiences can be reduced to the individual level of psychological phenomena, all contributions examine connections between community-level 'macro' characteristics and variations in the coverage of critical issues. Although most journalism scholars are still fascinated by the impact of media on society, Media and Social Inequality explores the reverse perspective: the impact of society on media. This book is among the first to systematically explore the impact of community inequality on reporting political and social change.
