ABSTRACT
As we have seen, Simon Renoir, Stéphane Sadoux, and Marie-Pierre Vincent have contributed chapters to this book that address the media’s coverage of resistance to gentrification. Each of the three has approached the topic from a different angle, and it is the combination of the three views that makes this section an important part of this work. Renoir examined a formal programme of the city of Denver to record stories of residents’ everyday lives, Sadoux by contrast focused on a blog which recorded aspects of gentrification in the London suburb of Brixton, while Vincent analysed coverage of a violent protest in the inner London borough Tower Hamlets, as discussed in local newspapers from the adjoining borough of Hackney.
