Abstract

My talk will report on my ongoing research on how the Daily Mail and the London Times have represented wealth inequality in the UK, across the forty years from 1971 to 2011. Over that period, inequality has grown significantly: is there evidence in the newspapers to suggest that what was reported, and how it was reported, shifted accordingly across the decades, and shifted not merely to report completed changes but also to foster changed attitudes? My speculation, in a CDA spirit, is that the Mail and the Times may have done some of the later, thereby ‘normalising’ current levels of inequality as reasonable, unavoidable, and necessary. The research challenge is then to present evidence of these shifts and naturalisings, and this in turn presents methodological difficulties. I will discuss these matters, and share some data and initial findings.
