In what ways have social movements attracted the attention of the
mass media since the sixties? How have activists influenced public
attention via visual symbols, images, and protest performances in
that period? And how do mass media cover and frame specific protest
issues? Drawing on contributions from media scholars, historians,
and sociologists, this volume explores the dynamic interplay
between social movements, activists, and mass media from the 1960s
to the present. It introduces the most relevant theoretical
approaches to such issues and offers a variety of case studies
ranging from print media, film, and television to Internet and
social media.
The Cold War was a media phenomenon. It was a daily cultural
political struggle for the hearts and minds of ordinary people-and
for government leaders, a struggle to undermine their enemies'
ability to control the domestic public sphere. This collection
examines how this struggle played out on screen, radio, and in
print from the late 1970s through the early 1990s, a time when
breaking news stories such as Ronald Reagan's "Star Wars" program
and Mikhail Gorbachev's policy of glasnost captured the world's
attention. Ranging from the United States to the Soviet Union and
China, these essays cover photojournalism on both sides of the Iron
Curtain, Polish punk, Norwegian film, Soviet magazines, and more,
concluding with a contribution from Stuart Franklin, one of the
creators of the iconic "Tank Man" image during the Tiananmen Square
protests. By investigating an array of media actors and networks,
as well as narrative and visual frames on a local and transnational
level, this volume lays the groundwork for writing media into the
history of the late Cold War.
