poverty porn
Poverty porn, also known as development porn or famine porn, has been defined as "any type of media, be it written, photographed or filmed, which exploits the poor’s condition in order to generate the necessary sympathy for selling newspapers or increasing charitable donations or support for a given cause".
It is a term also used to explain when media is created not in order to generate sympathy, but to cause anger or outrage.
== The origins of poverty porn ==
The concept of poverty porn was first introduced in the 1980s, a golden age for charity campaigns. Charity campaigns during this period made use of hard-hitting images such as pictures of malnourished children with flies in their eyes. This quickly became a trend and there were several notable campaigns such as Live Aid. Though some of these campaigns were successful in raising money for charity (over $150 million to help combat famine), critics inevitably criticised the approach claiming it oversimplified chronic poverty, this apparent sensationalism was dubbed by critics as “poverty porn”.
In the 1980’s the media used what some believed to be inappropriate use of children in poverty. However, towards the end of this era more possitive images emerged to tell their stories. Although, in recent years it has been noticed that the disturbing images are being highlighted once more.
