Description: In the aftermath of the events of September 11, the nature of international news has resumed a central place in media debates and political analysis. In the first collection of its kind, influential journalists and scholars together probe the future of international news. Topics include the continuing rise of powerful news media conglomerates; ethnocentric imbalances in news reporting; the rise of non-Anglo news channels; approaches for reconstructing the international news agenda; the impacts of new technologies of production and diffusion; international news rhetoric; audiences' imagination of the 'global' and their perceptions of international news coverage. In a dialogue that is both descriptive and prescriptive, this book begins an encounter between media practitioners, activists and academics, constituencies which have tended to talk past each other but are now beginning to find some shared concerns.
