This study examines the presence and influence of urban pathology language in coverage of the Flint, Michigan, water crisis. The use of urban pathology language to describe low-income urban neighborhoods may lead news consumers to “understand those communities entirely in terms of their problems.” This study of coverage in The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal describes urban pathology frames that suggest a lack of agency among residents. The use of those frames, the study argues, may distract from broader questions of environmental justice.

“Flint 无法听到”:美国公共卫生危机报道中的城市病理学语言

本研究考察了城市病理学语言在密歇根州弗林特水危机报道中的存在和影响。使用城市病理学语言来描述低收入城市社区可能会导致新闻消费者“完全从问题的角度理解这些社区”。这项对《纽约时报》和《华尔街日报》报道的研究描述了表明居民缺乏能动性的城市病理学框架。该研究认为,使用这些框架可能会分散对环境正义的更广泛问题的注意力。
