Media, Mobilization and Human Rights: Mediating Suffering
'In a global media age communications are pivotal in the mobilization of human rights around the world, especially when denied in atrocious acts of inhumanity. This timely, insightful, book throws a critical spotlight on mediated suffering, its power and performance.'   Professor Simon Cottle, School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies, Cardiff University.  'Tristan Anne Borer, in 'Media, Mobilization and Human Rights', has done a great service for both academics and activists by summarizing research on the world's 'failure to act' in the face of human rights atrocities.  Case studies serve to illuminate when inaction has been a news production or an audience reception problem, and point up not only immensely valuable lessons for educators and NGOs, but needed arenas for future study.' Professor Susan Moeller, author of 'Packaging Terrorism: Co-opting the News for Politics and Profit'
