In the most comprehensive study of the media and foreign policy,
twenty distinguished scholars and analysts explain the role played
by the mass media and public opinion in the development of United
States foreign policy in the Gulf War.
Tracing the flow of news, public opinion, and policy decisions from
Sadam Hussein's rise to power in 1979, to the Iraqi invasion of
Kuwait, through the outbreak and conclusion of the war, the
contributors look at how the media have become key players in the
foreign policy process. They examine the pre-war media debate, news
coverage during and after the war, how the news-gathering process
shaped the content of the coverage, and the media's effect on
public opinion and decision makers. We see what goes on behind the
scenes in the high tech world of political communication, and are
confronted by troubling questions about the ways the government
managed coverage of the war and captured journalists at their own
news game.
"Taken by Storm" also examines more general patterns in post-Cold
war journalism and foreign policy, particularly how contemporary
journalistic practices determine whose voices and what views are
heard in foreign policy coverage. At stake are the reactions of a
vast media audience and the decision of government officials who
see both the press and the public and key elements of the policy
game.
The first book to fully integrate our understanding of the news
business, public opinion, and government action, "Taken by Storm"
transcends the limits of the Gulf War to illuminate the complex
relationship between the media, the public, and U.S. foreign policy
in the late twentieth century.
