EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Product Description
Whether you are drawn to this book because of an interest in media, social problems, or domestic violence, reading it will help you better understand the impact media stories have on our perceptions of social problems. This is how Nancy Berns introduces her book. It is a work that unabashedly examines not only domestic violence, but also the larger picture of how politics and processes shape our responses to social problems. It distinguishes serious research from media, which promote entertainment, empowerment and drama.
