  1. Media wars : news at a time of terror

    Schechter, Danny
    Landam : Rowman & Littlefield, c2003.

    Here, MediaChannel founder and editor, Danny Schechter, "the News Dissector", critically examines media coverage since September 11. Schechter analyses what has been covered and, more tellingly, left out, in news coverage of the terrorist attacks and their aftermath. Drawing from the reporting of over 1000 worldwide radio, newspaper, television and Internet affiliates, the result is a scathing account of how the media has become a megaphone for the US military and its war on terror. More than just a critique, Schechter suggests a series of changes to improve our news sources and return them to the vital role a free and independent press must play to preserve a democracy.Media Wars is a timely assessment of what we are and are not being told in the most important story of our new century.

  2. Tabloid terror : war, culture, and geopolitics

    Debrix, François.
    London ; New York : Routledge, 2008.

    This book analyzes the methods, effects, and mechanisms by which international relations reach the US citizen. Deftly dissecting the interrelationships of national identity formation, corporate 'news and opinion' dissemination, and the quasi-academic apparatus of war justification - focusing on the Bush administration's exploitation of the fear and insecurity caused by 9/11 and how this has manifested itself in the US media (especially the tabloid populist media). Debrix explains how all serve to defend and produce state power and develops a model of tabloidized international relations, where responses are both organized by, and supportive of, a strong centralized US government. The field of International Relations sorely needs such analytics, in so far as it explains how people in their everyday lives relate to transnational issues. "Tabloid Terror" critically covers a wide variety of US popular culture from the Internet to Fox News; analyzes diverse authors as Julia Kristeva, J.G. Ballard and Robert Kaplan and takes into account renowned international relations interlocutors as Don Imus, Bill O'Reilly, and Tommy Franks.
