The Cold War was a media phenomenon. It was a daily cultural
political struggle for the hearts and minds of ordinary people-and
for government leaders, a struggle to undermine their enemies'
ability to control the domestic public sphere. This collection
examines how this struggle played out on screen, radio, and in
print from the late 1970s through the early 1990s, a time when
breaking news stories such as Ronald Reagan's "Star Wars" program
and Mikhail Gorbachev's policy of glasnost captured the world's
attention. Ranging from the United States to the Soviet Union and
China, these essays cover photojournalism on both sides of the Iron
Curtain, Polish punk, Norwegian film, Soviet magazines, and more,
concluding with a contribution from Stuart Franklin, one of the
creators of the iconic "Tank Man" image during the Tiananmen Square
protests. By investigating an array of media actors and networks,
as well as narrative and visual frames on a local and transnational
level, this volume lays the groundwork for writing media into the
history of the late Cold War.
