dc.description.abstractThe voices of older people living in residential care are often excluded from news articles about residential care, and thisexclusion was especially apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study is to identify and understand thebarriers which may be obstructing the news media participation of older residents. Semi-structured interviews were conductedwith 7 journalists, 7 administrators, and 12 residents. Interview transcripts were analyzed using a thematic analysis, whichresulted in the following themes: (1) residents are physically separated from their communities; (2) journalists do not considerresidents to be official sources for news stories; (3) administrators feel they must manage their care home’s reputation andcontrol access to residents; and (4) journalists and administrators are not equipped to handle issues of consent and privacy. Therole of ableism and ageism in the news reporting process is discusseden_US
