Do the news media have any role in the transformation of war and
warfare? A constellation of labels by academics and practitioners
have been coined in the last twenty years to describe the new forms
of a phenomenon as old as the human race. However, this book claims
that it remains to be fully understood what the specific role of
the news media is in this process. It argues that the news media,
old and new alike, alter the cognitive and strategic environment of
the actors of war and politics and change the way these interact
with one another. Building on a four-dimensional definition of
power and focusing on the role of television, this book recognises
the importance of interactions upon the understanding of any social
phenomenon. It suggests that the nature of war is changing partly
because it is no longer just a matter of linear strategic
interactions but also, and mainly, of 'mediated' ones.
