[Commlist] New book: No Longer Newsworthy: How the Mainstream Media Abandoned the Working Class

No Longer Newsworthy: How the Mainstream Media Abandoned the Working 
Class is now available from Cornell University Press 
http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/?GCOI=80140106872060

Until the recent political shift pushed workers back into the media 
spotlight, the mainstream media had largely ignored this significant 
part of American society in favor of the moneyed "upscale" consumer for 
more than four decades. Christopher R. Martin now reveals why and how 
the media lost sight of the American working class and the effects of it 
doing so.

Reviews:
"Insightful.... At once an important work of Trump-era criticism and an 
urgently needed condemnation of a media culture that persistently erases 
and misrepresents the lives and concerns of America's diverse 
working-class majority." - Jacobin

"I read Christopher R. Martin's No Longer Newsworthy with great 
pleasure. This book is absolutely fresh and original, and insightful. 
Martin writes with a mildly smart-ass edge that adds to the 
attention-grabbing nature of his work." - Jack Metzgar, Roosevelt 
University, Chicago, author of Striking Steel

"Christopher R. Martin has produced an important and powerfully argued 
intervention into a media conversation that has for too-long ignored the 
actual existing conditions of working people in the United States." - 
Eric Alterman, Brooklyn College, Nation media columnist, author of What 
Liberal Media?

"No Longer Newsworthy is a must-read for anyone concerned with the state 
of America in the age of Trump. Christopher R. Martin brilliantly 
demonstrates the flawed presentation and analysis of working-class life 
and concerns in the mainstream media, and the problems this foments in 
politics. This is a fabulous book, ideal for undergrads and the general 
public." - Robert McChesney, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
