This book engages with the mediatized dynamics of political,
military and cultural conflicts. In today's global and converging
media environment, the interrelationship between media and conflict
has been altered and intensified. No longer limited to the realms
of journalism and political communication, various forms of new
media have allowed other social actors to communicate and act
through media networks. Thus, the media not only play an important
role by reporting conflicts; they have also become co-constitutive
of the ways conflicts develop and spread. The first part of the
book, Transnational Networks, addresses the opportunities and
challenges posed by transnational media to actors seeking to engage
in and manage conflicts through new media platforms. The second
part, Mobilising the Personal: Crossing Public and Private
Boundaries, concerns the ways in which media framings of conflicts
often revolve around personal aspects of public figures. The third
part, Military, War, and Media, engages with a classic theme of
media studies - the power relationship between media, state, and
military - but in light of the mediatized condition of modern
warfare, in which the media have become an integrated part of
military strategies. The book develops new theoretical arguments
and a series of empirical studies that are essential reading for
students and scholars interested in the complex roles of media in
contemporary conflicts.
