520 1 _a"The Media at War provides a broad-ranging assessment of the role of media in reporting and representing conflict throughout a turbulent century. A central argument is that there is considerable continuity in how media operate in both war and peacetime. Following the lead of their state, mass media are frequently more willing 'accomplices' in wartime propaganda than they care to admit, and may even play a significant part in instigating conflict." "Are the military and media locked in an inevitably antagonistic relationship? Are war reporters really a special breed, bringing back 'headlines from hell'? Do correspondents merely mirror the world, or do they actively shape social reality? This book explores wars from the First World War to conflict in Somalia, Rwanda, and the former Yugoslavia, taking in Vietnam and the Gulf War en route. It proposes sceptical answers, stimulating critical reflection on a topic of urgent concern."--BOOK JACKET.
