“…By offering the participants a camera to picture their world we gave them the opportunity to 'turn upon' their environment and to provide an account of how and why they did so. These accounts often included mention of structural and ideological issues pertaining to the imaging of homelessness, particularly in the mass media (Hodgetts, Cullen, & Radley, 2005), so that we were able to see how these issues were adopted, adapted or refused by the participants involved (Hodgetts, Radley, & Cullen, forthcoming).…”

This article reports a qualitative study of how homeless people visualize their life in hostels and on the streets of London. Using a photo-production technique, the research enabled participants to show their situation as well as to tell about their experiences. Participants were given cameras and asked to take photographs typical of their day as homeless people, this material being the subject of a subsequent interview. This provided both visual and text data that were analysed together so as to establish different engagements of the participants with the city and with domiciled people. Presenting the material from six of the participants, these different engagements are described with reference to issues of estrangement, exclusion and visualization employed as explanatory concepts. The article identifies and compares the different ways in which homeless people attempt not only to survive but also to 'make their home' in the city.

“…Whose views are privileged and whose views are restrained in news reports reveals a lot about wider power relations in a society (Hodgetts, Cullen, & Radley, 2005). In this way, news does more than transmit information; it shapes information and can both limit and enable the scope of minority identities (Pietikaninen, 2003) and participation in society.…”

Pacific Islanders have faced discrimination in New Zealand particularly since the 1960s when communities began to be transplanted from their home nations to Aotearoa as cheap immigrant labour. Subsequently, the New Zealand vernacular has contained references to Pacific Islanders as 'overstayers', 'coconuts', 'bungas' and 'fresh off the boat' [FOB]. However, the legacy of a domineering relationship between the Palagi 1 majority group and Pacific minorities 2 that is captured by such derogatory terms is still evident in public forums such as the media. Using a quantitative content and qualitative narrative analysis, this paper documents portrayals of Pacific Islanders in New Zealand print media reports (n ¼ 65) published over a 3 month period. Findings reveal that Pacific people are predominantly portrayed as unmotivated, unhealthy and criminal others who are overly dependent on Palagi support. We consider this offered pacific identity formation with that implied for Palagi, which is active, independent, competent and caring. Issues in coverage are discussed in relation to how Pacific Islanders are encouraged to see themselves, and the health and social consequences of dominant practices in press coverage. We offer some suggestions as to how more equitable representations of Pacific people could be fostered in news media.
