Global Media Go to War: Role of News and Entertainment Media During the 2003 Iraq War
Edited by Dr. Ralph D. Berenger, assistant professor of journalism and mass communication, The American University in Cairo, Egypt
Preface by Cees Hamelink; Foreword by John Merrill; Epilogue by Kaarle Nordenstreng
News media in the Middle East were often criticized for covering the 2003 Iraq War from a biased perspective -- one that was highly critical of the United States and the United Kingdom. But, as Ralph D. Berenger notes in the introduction to this book, "the West, too, conducted a rigorous propaganda campaign to drum up support for war against Iraq among wobbly-kneed allies."
Global Media Go to War is the world’s most comprehensive and authoritative analysis of the role of mass media during the 2003 Iraq War. Its 34 essays are written by prominent media scholars and professionals from around the world and are organized into six major sections: Prelude to War, The World War of Words, The War in the Coalition Press, The War in Other Places, The War in Cyberspace, and The War for Hearts and Minds.
Numerous perspectives are presented, but all attest to the social control function that media perform for their nations. This book is ideal for college courses in mass communication, political science and sociology, and is an indispensable reference for media researchers.
