There is No Such Thing as a Free Lunch: Stigma and Media Portrayals of the School Lunch Program 公开
Baskin, Gabriel (Spring 2019)
Abstract
This paper analyzes the stigmatization of the free and reduced lunch program and its participants by looking at how two elite, national newspapers frame and portray the program and its participants. I delve into existing theories on stigma and framing before delving into the stigma associated with the free and reduced lunch program. I conducted a content analysis of 49 newspaper articles from The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal and found that articles that indirectly reference the program negatively portray parents and students. These articles often associate the program with poverty and racial minorities. Articles directly referencing the program provided a greater variety of frames. The impact of these frames may largely depend on readers’ opinions of the free and reduced lunch program.
