Disasters in today's globalized world are becoming not only more
frequent but, often, more catastrophic. The media play a critical
role in communicating and making sense of these cataclysmic events.
This book offers unique insights into how news media today make
disasters culturally meaningful and politically important, drawing
on cutting-edge theoretical work and recent examples. It looks at
how globalization is affecting the meanings of disaster but also
considers the continued relevance of nations and their citizens as
interpretive frameworks. It examines how journalists' witnessing of
disasters is changing in response to new technologies, including
social media, and how the ideal of objectivity might be challenged
by new, more emotional and more compassionate forms of
story-telling premised on an injunction to care. Ultimately, the
book calls attention to the media possibilities for addressing
disasters as global social, political, cultural and economic events
in which we all have a stake.
