What are global crises and how do they differ from earlier crises?.
What do recent studies of global crises reporting tell us about the
role of the news media in the global age?. What are the current
trends in the fields of journalism and civil society that are now
re-shaping the public communication of crises? . . From climate
change to the global war on terror, from forced migration to
humanitarian disasters these are just some of the global crises
addressed in this accessible, ground-breaking book. For the first
time, the author situates diverse threats to humanity in a global
context and examines how, why and to what extent they are conveyed
in todays news media. Global crises are conceived as the dark side
of a globalizing world, but how they become reported and
constituted in the news media can also help sustain emergent forms
of global awareness, global citizenship and global civil society.
. . The book: . . Draws on original research and scholarship in
the field of media and communications. Deliberately moves beyond
nationally confined research studies. Examines diverse global
crises and their communicative politics. Recognizes global crises
and their constitution within global news reporting as defining
characteristics of the global age. . "Global Crisis Reporting" is
key reading for students in media, communications, globalization
and journalism studies.
