Building on the vast research conducted on war and media since
the 1970s, scholars are now studying the digital transformation of
the production of news. Little scholarly attention has been paid,
however, to non-professional, eyewitness visuals, even though this
genre holds a still greater bearing on the way conflicts are
fought, communicated, and covered by the news media. This volume
examines the power of new technologies for creating and
disseminating images in relation to conflicts. Mortensen presents a
theoretical framework and uses case studies to investigate the
impact of non-professional images with regard to essential issues
in today s media landscape: including new media technologies and
democratic change, the political mobilization and censorship of
images, the ethics of spectatorship, and the shifting role of the
mainstream news media in the digital age."
