Public Diplomacy & International Politics
The Symbolic Constructs of Summits and Int. Radio News- Wed, Apr 1, 2009
- Books
By Robert S. Fortner
This book began as a book about politics, aimed at addressing two questions: What (if anything) does the use of international shortwave radio by countries around the world contribute to the new world information and communication order (NWICO) debate?
Review
"In his well-researched and well-conceived monograph, Fortner examines the way international radio news services covered six summit conferences from 1987 through 1990."
-Choice
Public Diplomacy and International Politics does an excellent job of integrating a complex methodological analysis with the linguistic underpinnings necessary to better comprehend the role of international shortwave radio in reporting the last years of the Cold War.
