| Descripción: | ABSTRACT This article describes how the Canadian printed news media depicted the homeless and their situations between 1987 and 2007. Our study used a descriptive, cross-sectional design and a content analysis was conducted on selected newspaper articles on homelessness issues. The main themes were housing-related issues, profiling of homelessness, health-related issues, economic factors, illegal activities, community aid and support, and social factors as cause of homelessness. Housing related issues, community aid and support, profiling of homelessness and economic factors were addressed in 85.3% of the stories. This study provides a retrospective examination of the media’s interests in and portrayal of the homeless and homelessness issues.RÉSUMÉ Cet article décrit comment la presse écrite canadienne a représenté les sans-abri et leurs situations entre 1987 et 2007. Nous avons suivi une approche descriptive et transversale et nous avons effectué une analyse de contenu sur un éventail d’articles de journaux traitant des sans-abri. Les journaux canadiens sélectionnés couvraient des aspects différents de leur vécu, les thèmes principaux étant : le logement, les portraits de sans-abri, les questions de santé, les facteurs économiques, les activités illégales, les ressources communautaires, et les facteurs sociaux entraînant la perte d’un foyer. 85,3% des articles mettaient l’accent sur le logement, les ressources communautaires, les portraits de sans-abri et les facteurs économiques. Cette étude effectue un examen rétrospectif sur l’attention que portent les médias envers les sans-abri et la manière dont ils représentent ces derniers. |
