商品簡介
The 19 essays in this collection examine not only how media transmits information about crises, but also how they help constitute them. Differing approaches from the humanities and social sciences look at not just how media transforms how protests are conducted and seen, but how the media facilitates transnational connections within anti-war, anti-capitalist, climate justice and human rights movements. A final section also looks at how international media may be leading toward a global civil society. In this vein, Simon Cottle (media and communications, Cardiff U.) offers a conclusion about the role media played in the 2011 Arab uprisings. The contributors are mostly academics teaching media studies, sociology, communication, journalism in the UK. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
