This book focuses upon the British and Irish broadsheet press and its treatment of the subject of prostitution. It employs a methodology influenced by ethnomethodology and is the first publication of its kind. Its comparative focus is innovative and it documents a novel approach to the issue of prostitution, namely how some women are categorised as prostitutes by the press. This is portrayed in both text and photographs used by the media.
