This project focuses on how coal shortages and high energy prices were discussed in the newspaper and periodical press. It considers the 1872-3, 1900 and 1921 'coal famines' as core case studies, but will reflect more widely on journalistic representation of energy crisis from the mid-Victorian period to the twenty-first century. In exploring the format and language both of news articles and of other media sources (e.g. cartoons, verse), this thesis will particularly investigate the representation of fuel poverty, and the ways in which consumer suffering was leveraged both for charitable ends, and in relation to assigning blame.

该项目着重于报纸和期刊媒体中如何讨论煤炭短缺和高能源价格。它将1872-3、1900和1921年的“煤炭饥荒”视为核心案例研究，但将更广泛地反映出从维多利亚时代到二十一世纪的能源危机的新闻表达。在探索新闻文章和其他媒体资料的格式和语言时（例如卡通，经文），本文将特别调查燃料贫困的代表，以及为慈善目的而利用消费者苦难的方式，以及与责备有关。
