This volume centers on a critical examination of press coverage
of peace-related issues and of the relationships between newspaper
journalism and the peace movement in Canada in the 1980s. The
chapters deal respectively with the following topics: the relevance
and impact of news media in relation to both international peace,
and the emergence and success of antiwar movements; a critical
review of previous research on the relation between media and
antiwar movements; an extensive explanation of the nature of news;
an overview of Canada's news media system; the political/discursive
context of news concerning peace and defense; several case studies
of relevant press coverage; a discussion of how open the news is to
the expression of antiwar sentiment; and an epilogue considering
whether the end of the Cold War has fundamentally changed the
nature of North American media coverage of war and peace
issues.
