The media served a highly partisan and propagandistic role in
NATO's Kosovo war, uncritically reproducing official spin in a way
that was incompatible with their proclaimed democratic role as
objective purveyors of information. This book integrates a critical
interpretation of Western policy towards the former Yugoslavia with
analysis of media coverage of the Kosovo crisis and war. The first
part of the book deals with the war itself and the build-up to it,
placing this in the context of earlier Western intervention in
Yugoslavia. Part two discusses key issues raised by the media
coverage, including the demonisation of the enemy, and the role of
CNN. In the final section, contributors analyse how the war was
reported in different countries around the world, including the
United States, Britain, Germany, India, Greece, Russia, and France.
The book offers a corrective to the hysteria and misinformation
that permeated media coverage. Subjects covered include the role of
the Internet, the changing media-military relationship, the
depiction and definition of "war crimes", and how Yugoslav
television was presented as a legitimate military target.
