My
primary area of research is in the field of media analysis where
I examine ideological representations in the news. Recent case studies
that I have examined include: media coverage of the “War on
Terror”, representations of alternative medicine, and monopoly
ownership of the media in New Brunswick. Martin, Geoff and Erin Steuter. Pop Culture Goes to War: Enlisting and Resisting Militarism in the War on Terror.
