Tim Markham

The politics of war reporting

Authority, authenticity and morality

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book challenges the assumptions that reporters and their audiences alike have about the way the journalistic trade operates and how it sees the world. It unpacks the taken-for-granted aspects of the lives of war correspondents, exposing the principles of interaction and valorisation that usually go unacknowledged.
