Many scholars call the Persian Gulf conflict the first "prime-time
war." Certainly, the technologies, strategies, and skills of the
military in managing the public agenda were equal to those of the
television networks and major print organizations. The Media and
the Persian Gulf War focuses on the processes and effects of the
media, both leading up to and during the "mother of all battles" in
1990 and 1991. Broad in scope and varied in methodologies, the
chapters span the media of television, radio, print, and film.
Chapters discuss such specific topics as the relationship between
the press and the censoring military, CNN's and C-SPAN's coverage,
how talk radio and television covered the war, the media's
depiction of women in the military, the Gulf War as a referent in
advertising, and how popular culture legitimized the war. This work
will be an important resource for scholars in political and mass
communication, popular culture, and political science.
