Hallin Publisher: Routledge Print ISBN: 9781138999879, 1138999873 eText ISBN: 9781317329862, 1317329864 Edition: 1st Copyright year: 2016 Format: EPUB Available from $ 18.38 USD SKU 9781317329862R90 This book examines the relationship between media and medicine, considering the fundamental role of news coverage in constructing wider cultural understandings of health and disease. The authors advance the notion of ‘biomediatization’ and demonstrate how health knowledge is co-produced through connections between dispersed sites and forms of expertise. The chapters offer an innovative combination of media content analysis and ethnographic data on the production and circulation of health news, drawing on work with journalists, clinicians, health officials, medical researchers, marketers, and audiences. The volume provides students and scholars with unique insight into the significance and complexity of what health news does and how it is created.
