From climate change to the global war on terror, from forced migration to humanitarian disasters - these are just some of the global crises addressed in this accessible, ground-breaking book. For the first time, the author examines how, why and to what extent these are diverse threats to humanity conveyed in today's news media.
- What are ‘global crises'' and how do they differ from earlier crises?
- What do recent studies of global crises reporting tell us about the role of the news media in the global age?
- What are the current trends in the fields of journalism and civil society that are now re-shaping the public communication of crises?
The book:
- Draws on original research and scholarship in the field of media and communications
- Deliberately moves beyond nationally confined research studies
- Examines diverse global crises and their communicative politics
- Recognizes global crises and their constitution within global news reporting as defining characteristics of the global age
