Description: How was the war in Bosnia reported on television in countries as diverse as Algeria, Croatia, Turkey, Slovenia and the USA? What role did TV news play in the formation of public opinion and government policy about Bosnia? What role should it have played? Bosnia by Television is one of the first academic analyses of the inter-relationship of television news and the Bosnian conflict. A series of essays answers the above questions through a variety of cultural and political perspectives, and contributors include media professionals and academics from thirteen countries. Bosnia by Television is of enormous benefit to media, politics, strategic studies and history scholars as well as to media professionals.
