Résumé
Place-based stigma is linked with health and social harms, but few studies have assessed what actions may reduce these. Area-based programmes are one potential strategy but may exacerbate stigma by targeting disadvantaged neighbourhoods. We reviewed newspaper coverage in two stigmatised neighbourhoods to identify whether a programme funded in these localities influenced reporting. While both areas were dominated by negative coverage, the progamme provided an impetus for some positive stories over time and enabled community activists to articulate alternative narratives about where they lived, countering negative external portrayals. The involvement of residents should be central to strategies to tackle place-based stigma.
