- Summary
- "The Pen and the Sword is the only comprehensive examination of how the media have covered the 21st century's #1 news story: terrorism and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. This is the full story, from 9/11 to the Obama doctrine." "The Pen and the Sword uses this tragic and eye-opening case study of the news at war to ask, "Why?" and to offer a critical perspective on our mass media, including the latest information on the underpinnings of the news business - corporate ownership and the power of elites to define the news. The book also addresses three important new features of the media landscape." "Providing a critical perspective on our mass media, this text is ideal for undergraduate courses such as Media and Politics, International Journalism, Political Communication, Crime and Media, and Sociology of Mass Media."--BOOK JACKET.
