Through the lens of political ecology, we examine the limitations and biases of media discourses on public health in Europe, particularly in Spain. By analysing cases such as the Spanish flu, various industrial accidents, and the COVID pandemic, we advance the hypothesis that economic progress and industrialisation, while being celebrated, compel the media to downplay their impacts on human beings and the environment.Show less >
