- Summary:
-
War and the Media demonstrates how recent developments have altered the relationships between politicians, the media, and civil servants in the shaping of policies which may lead to conflict. The authors here examine the complex subjects of propaganda, censorship, and the handling of the media by the military and political authorities, while also shedding light on journalistic ethics and motives. The book highlights the effect of the media on the formation of public opinion and the extent to which the latter influences the making of foreign policy.
