Beschreibung:
Katherine A. Foss is Professor of Journalism and Strategic Media at Middle Tennessee State University and has spent the last 11 years advising graduate students. She is the author of Beyond Princess Culture: Gender and Children's Marketing (2019, Peter Lang Publishing) and Demystifying the Big House: Exploring Prison Experience and Media Representations (2018, Southern Illinois Press University).
This book examines entertainment and health responsibility in the United States. Through the analysis of contemporary television medical dramas, Foss explores how media texts shape and perpetuate ideologies that encourage resistance to healthcare reform that shifts responsibility from individuals to government and other institutions.
