The Media At War

Susan L. Carruthers

3.8/5 ( ratings)

News media, movies, blogs and video games issue constant invitations to picture war, experience the thrill of combat, and revisit battles past. War, it's often said, sells. But what doesn't it take to sell a war, and to what extent can news media be viewed as disinterested reporters of truth.

Lively and highly readable, this book explores how wars have been reported, interpreted, perpetuated from the damn of the media age to the present digital era. It provides a compelling analysis of the forces that shape the production of news and images of war - from state censorship to more subtle forms of military manipulation and popular pressure. This fully revised second edition has been updated to cover modern-day conflict in the post 9/11 epoch, including the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
