Description: Still one of the best texts on international media, The World News Prism has been revised and updated with new material added to every chapter. In this fourth edition, William Hachten takes a concise, informative, and critical look at the pivotal role of transnational news in our rapidly changing world and the impact it has on people and nations. In particular, he examines what is happening in the 1990s as the public increasingly relies on news media to report "the first draft of history."
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 185-200) and index.
