Preferred term

images of homelessness in the media  

Definition

  • After virtually ignoring the problem of homelessness for decades, the news media in the United States sharply increased its coverage during the early to mid-1980s. This increase, and its subsequent decline and plateau, offer a view of the changing image of homelessness in America. [Source: Encyclopedia of Homelessness; Images of Homelessness in the Media]
