For over half a century, a small set of London-based companies have
either created or globally distributed most of the iconic
television images of international events. These journalists play a
leading role in shaping how we understand the world, yet there has
been little study of them and their practices. This book attempts
to rectify this gap by providing the first comprehensive study of
how television news agencies work, and describing a system of news
production which has shaped our shared visual history since the
1950s. Spanning over twenty years of data gathering, document
analysis, video content analysis, news production ethnography, and
interviews, the book discusses their crucial role as agents of
globalization, how they manufacture our image of the world, and
their dangerous work providing images of conflict. The book is a
tribute to this small and largely unknown tribe of journalists, but
is also a warning that the public might better understand the power
and potential harm of the system in which they operate.
