Trefnydd: Prof Vian Bakir

After studying this module the student will be able to appreciate how journalism varies around the globe, the factors that determine these differences, and their social impacts. Using selected case studies from around the world, they will study the various cultural, political and historical issues that affect global and international news reporting. Broad areas covered are the role of journalism in public diplomacy and tele-diplomacy; the construction of ‘us’ versus ‘them’ in different nations’ news; and the impact of global news forms on censorship & the public sphere in authoritarian regimes.

Topics that this module will discuss include: the CNN effect; manipulating global news agendas through public diplomacy; war, perception management and bearing witness through global media forms; reporting distant suffering; satellite news wars; the rise of satellite news in the Middle East and the possible rise of an Arab public sphere; and the impact of global news forms on censorship and resistance.
