Global Crisis Reporting (Issues in Cultural and Media Studies)

• 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
