Despite the importance of foreign news, its history, transformation
and indeed its future have not been much studied. The scholarly
community often calls attention to journalism's shortcomings
covering the world, yet the topic has not been systematically
examined across countries or over time. The need to redress this
neglect and the desire to assess the impact of new media
technologies on the future of journalism - including foreign
correspondence - provide the motivation for this stimulating,
exciting and thought-provoking book. While the old economic models
supporting news have crumbled in the wake of new media
technologies, these changes have the potential to bring new and
improved ways to inform people of foreign news. In an increasingly
globalized era, journalism is being transformed by the effortlessly
quick sharing of information across national boundaries. As such,
we need to reconsider foreign correspondence and explore where such
reporting is headed. This book discusses the current state and
future prospects for foreign correspondence across the full range
of media platforms, and assesses developments in the reporting of
overseas news for audiences, governments and foreign policy in both
contemporary and historical settings around the globe. As Emmy
Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning correspondent Serge Schmemann
reminds us in this book, "quality journalism and unbiased reporting
are as valid and necessary today as they ever were [...] one of the
primary tasks of journalists and scholars as they follow the
changes taking place must be to ensure that the 'new international
information order' now imposed by the Internet remains true to the
ideals and traditions that define our journalism." This book was
originally published as a special issue of Journalism Studies.

and educational picture book for all young children who love

The diplomat and M. P. William Hamilton (1805 67) was also a keen
geologist and a prot g of Sir Roderick Murchison. In 1835 he set
off with a companion for the eastern Mediterranean, visiting the
Ionian Islands, the Bosphorus and the volcanic area called the
Katakekaumene. Hamilton then continued alone on horseback through
Armenia and Asia Minor before returning to Smyrna (Izmir). Having
already published some of his notes as papers for the Geological
Society, he published this two-volume account in 1842. The work was
praised by Alexander von Humboldt, and in 1843 it won Hamilton the
founder's medal of the Royal Geographical Society (of which he was
one of the secretaries from 1832 to 1854). Volume 1 describes
Hamilton's outward journey to Smyrna, and the archaeological sites,
geological features, landscapes and people he observed on a long
series of excursions across Anatolia, as far as Trebizond and
Erzurum.

Billy Sing was a small, dark man and a deadly killer. When, as a
member of the Australian Imperial Force 5th Light Horse, he was
thrust onto the narrow strip of land held by the Australians on
Gallipoli, he witnessed the terrible effects of the Turkish snipers
and decided to fight fire with fire. Using a simple Lee Enfield
.303 rifle, Sing began to pick off unwary Turks who exposed
themselves. Assisted by a spotter who would single out targets for
him, Sing acquired an unrivalled reputation as he killed increasing
numbers of enemy soldiers. He became known as the Anzac Angel of
Death and the Assassin of Gallipoli and was considered to be the
most successful sniper and most feared man in Gallipoli. The Turks,
aware of his reputation decided to target Sing with their own
marksman. In a deadly duel, Sing fired first and killed Abdul the
Terrible. This is a vivid account of the merciless nature of the
fighting in the Gallipoli Campaign from an award-winning journalist
and best-selling author.
In the romantic tradition, music is consistently associated with
madness, either as cause or cure. Writers as diverse as Kleist,
Hoffmann, and Nietzsche articulated this theme, which in fact
reaches back to classical antiquity and continues to resonate in
the modern imagination. What John Hamilton investigates in this
study is the way literary, philosophical, and psychological
treatments of music and madness challenge the limits of
representation and thereby create a crisis of language. Special
focus is given to the decidedly autobiographical impulse of the
late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, where musical
experience and mental disturbance disrupt the expression of
referential thought, illuminating the irreducible aspects of the
self before language can work them back into a discursive system.
The study begins in the 1750s with Diderot's Neveu de Rameau, and
situates that text in relation to Rousseau's reflections on the
voice and the burgeoning discipline of musical aesthetics. Upon
tracing the linkage of music and madness that courses through the
work of Herder, Hegel, Wackenroder, and Kleist, Hamilton turns his
attention to E. T. A. Hoffmann, whose writings of the first decades
of the nineteenth century accumulate and qualify the preceding
tradition. Throughout, Hamilton considers the particular
representations that link music and madness, investigating the
underlying motives, preconceptions, and ideological premises that
facilitate the association of these two experiences. The gap
between sensation and its verbal representation proved especially
problematic for romantic writers concerned with the ineffability of
selfhood. The author who chose to represent himself necessarily
faced problems of language, which invariably compromised the
uniqueness that the author wished to express. Music and madness,
therefore, unworked the generalizing functions of language and
marked a critical limit to linguistic capabilities. While the
various conflicts among music, madness, and language questioned the
viability of signification, they also raised the possibility of
producing meaning beyond significance.
