No Longer Newsworthy

In No Longer Newsworthy, Christopher R. Martin examines the decline of labor and working-class coverage in mainstream media from the late 1960s onward, highlighting how this shift contributed to the invisibility of American workers. He explores the transformation of news focus toward consumer and business interests and the rise of conservative media outlets, raising concerns about the political and social implications. The book also offers recommendations for restoring attention to the working class and strengthening the media’s democratic role in a fractured society.
