ABSTRACT
This chapter relies on newspaper articles to examine the Reagan administration’s attitudes and policies on hunger and poverty. This lens provides the method and means to look at the relationship between religion, journalism and power in the late twentieth-century USA. The triangulation of religions, the news media and politics is a relatively undeveloped field of research, and this particular case study highlights the political, economic and moral nexus of President Ronald Reagan's ideology and its depiction in the news media.
