How did a new, irresistible brand of television emerge from the
Lebanese Civil War (1975-91) to conquer the Arab region in the
satellite era? What role did seductive news anchors, cool language
teachers, superheroes, and gossip magazines play in negotiating a
modern relationship between television and audiences? How did the
government lose its television monopoly to sectarian militias?
Pretty Liar explores the rise of language and gender politics in
Lebanese television during the Civil War of 1975-91. Khazaal tells
the untold story of the coevolution of Lebanese television and its
audience, and the ways in which the war influenced that
transformation. Khazaal analyzes news, entertainment, and
educational shows from Tele Liban and LBC, novels, periodicals, and
popular culture to explain how controversies over language and
gender became a referendum on television's relevance. Based on
empirical data, Khazaal shows how television became a site for
politics and political resistance, feminism, and the cradle for
postwar Lebanon. Pretty Liar challenges the narrow focus on
present-day satellite television and social media, offering the
first account of how broadcast television transformed media's
legitimacy in the Arab world. This groundbreaking book shows how
the history of television in Lebanon is a history not merely of
corporate technology but of a people and their continuing demand
for responsive media, especially during times of civil unrest.
In order to better understand how the world viewed the US 2016
presidential election, the issues that mattered around the world,
and how nations made sense of how their media systems constructed
presentations of the presidential election, Robert S. Hinck, Skye
C. Cooley, and Randolph Kluver examine global news narratives
during the campaign and immediately afterwards. Analyzing 1,578
news stories from 62 sources within three regional media ecologies
in China, Russia, and the Middle East, Hinck, Cooley, and Kluver
demonstrate how the US election was incorporated into narrative
constructions of the global order. They establish that the
narratives told about the US election through national and regional
media provide insights into how foreign nations construct US
democracy, and reflect local understandings regarding the issues,
and impacts, of US policy towards those nations. Avoiding
jargon-laden prose, Global Media and Strategic Narratives of
Contested Democracy is as accessible as it is wide-ranging. Its
empirical detail will expand readers' understanding of soft power
as narrative articulations of foreign nation's policies, values,
and beliefs within localized media systems. Communication/media
studies students, as well as political scientists whose studies
includes media and global politics, will welcome its publication.
