This book examines international radio news coverage of the four
superpower summit meetings between Soviets and Americans from 1987
to 1990. It concentrates on the symbolic constructs used by radio
services to report about the summits, including their treatments of
the two superpowers, their leaders, and their perspectives as
recorded in interviews, press conferences and releases, joint
communiques, and briefings. The study assesses the degree of
success enjoyed by each of the superpowers in directing the nature
of international news coverage, particularly the public relations
battle between Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan. It also weighs
the viability of specific talking points written to direct U.S.
summit statements by the National Security Council, and the degree
to which news coverage was tainted by propaganda. Finally, it is
able to suggest the nature of each service's contribution to
diversity in international news flow, and to the ongoing debate
about the equality of the international communication and
information order.
