The aim of this chapter is to explore the discursive construction and The part-quantitative, part-qualitative methodology adopted here suggests that the tracing of something as masked as the discursive acceptance of wealth inequality must inevitably be more piecemeal and multi-factorial than other more sharply and overtly categorised forms of discrimination (based on ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or religion, for example). By 2013, it seems to have become ‘natural’ not to discuss class and present-day wealth inequality in Mail TV reviews. In Stevens’ much longer stories, class has largely disappeared from the discursive agenda of contemporary Britain and is only mentioned in relation to the past or other countries.
In Black’s reviews, it is a recurrent contemporary concern and recognised as indicative of inequality of opportunity. Occurrences of class and its collocates and co-texts are a particular focus of attention. Selected findings are reported from a corpus-linguistically based comparative critical discourse analysis of large samples (approximately 55,000 words each) of TV programme reviews that appeared in the Daily Mail, written by the TV critics Peter Black (in 1971) and Christopher Stevens (in 2013).
