Description

This Routledge academic work examines how news media shaped public understanding of AIDS from 1981 onwards, combining cultural studies, history of medicine, and contemporary social theory. The book investigates the dominant narratives that defined AIDS coverage, including early characterisations as a "gay-plague" and panic-driven reporting that influenced societal responses to the epidemic. Drawing on interdisciplinary analysis, the volume reveals how mass media framed AIDS through fear, loathing, and prejudice, ultimately constructing meaning around one of the century's most significant health crises. Essential for students and researchers in medical anthropology, sociology, media studies, and the social history of medicine seeking to understand how journalism shaped public perception during the epidemic.
