Normalizing the Economy: Popular Ideology and Social Regulation --Methodological Appendix --Notes --Works Cited --IndexIn an age when pundits constantly decry overt political bias in the media, we have naturally become skeptical of the news. But the bluntness of such critiques masks the highly sophisticated ways in which the media frame important stories. In Front Page Economics, Gerald Suttles delves deep into the archives to examine coverage of two major economic crashes-in 1929 and 1987-in order to systematically break down the way newspapers normalize crises. Poring over the articles generated by the crashes-as well as the people in them, the writers who wrote them, and the cartoons that ran alongside them-Suttles uncovers dramatic changes between the ways the first and second crashes were reported. In the intervening half-century, an entire new economic language had arisen and the practice of business journalism had been completely altered. Both of these transformations, Suttles demonstrates, allowed journalists to describe the 1987 crash in a vocabulary that was normal and familiar to readers, rendering it routine. A subtle and probing look at how ideologies are packaged and transmitted to the casual newspaper reader, Front Page Economics brims with important insights that shed light on our own economically tumultuous times.Financial crisesPress coverageBusiness cyclesPress coverageEconomicsPublic opinionEconomicsSociological aspectsMass media and public opinionStock Market Crash, 1987Press coverageStock Market Crash, 1929Press coverageGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009Press coveragemedia, bias, politics, journalism, news, reporting, framing, economics, crash, finance, cartoons, press, business cycles, stock market, global financial crisis, recession, economy, greenspan, commerce, banking, investments, public opinion, markets, nonfiction, sociology, rhetoric, wall street, corporations, dow jones, capital, money.Financial crisesPress coverage.Business cyclesPress coverage.EconomicsPublic opinion.EconomicsSociological aspects.Mass media and public opinion.Stock Market Crash, 1987Press coverage.Stock Market Crash, 1929Press coverage.Global Financial Crisis, 2008-2009Press coverage.070.449330973330.973574/.012Suttles Gerald D1485609Jacobs Mark D.1947-855919MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791751203321Front page economics3704817UNINA
