Patents, Pills, and the Press: The Rise and Fall of the Global HIV/AIDS Medicines Crisis in the News

A major feature of the HIV/AIDS crisis has been the dispute over intellectual property protection and medicines access. Weaving together contemporary media theory and interdisciplinary research with news analysis and interviews with journalists and civil society campaigners, the book illuminates the intersecting constitutive relationships between global crises, global governance, and global media.
