Introduction: the poverty of television -- The moral turn: from first principles to lay moralities -- Theorising mediated suffering: ethics of media texts, audiences and ecologies -- Audience ethics: mediating suffering in everyday life -- Entertainment: playing with pity -- News: recognising calls to action -- Conclusions: mediating suffering, dividing class.
Summary
Based on a 20-month ethnographic study of television and audiences in class-divided Philippines, this is the first book to take a bottom-up approach in considering how people respond to images and narratives of suffering and poverty on television.
