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. 606 $aFinancial crises$xPress coverage 606 $aBusiness cycles$xPress coverage 606 $aEconomics$xPublic opinion 606 $aEconomics$xSociological aspects 606 $aMass media and public opinion 606 $aStock Market Crash, 1987$xPress coverage 606 $aStock Market Crash, 1929$xPress coverage 606 $aGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009$xPress coverage 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFinancial crises$xPress coverage. 615 0$aBusiness cycles$xPress coverage. 615 0$aEconomics$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aEconomics$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aMass media and public opinion. 615 0$aStock Market Crash, 1987$xPress coverage. 615 0$aStock Market Crash, 1929$xPress coverage. 615 0$aGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009$xPress coverage. 676 $a070.449330973 676 $a330.973 676 $a574/.012 700 $aSuttles$b Gerald D$0938902 701 $aJacobs$b Mark D.$f1947-$0855919 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465324003321 996 $aFront page economics$92116464 997 $aUNINA
