This book offers a unique perspective on the relationship of terrorism and the media by showing how press reports can differ noticeably according to the location of the journalist as well as the medium that is ultimately used. Barnett (communications, Elon U.) and Reynolds (journalism, Indiana U.) use 9/11 as a launching point for their study, noting that media coverage was unprecedented in its scope and duration and therefore changed the way terrorism was reported around the globe. By exploring how the craft of journalism has changed since 2001, the authors are able to introduce direct challenges to the media to remain both patriotic and objective at the same time. General audiences may also be interested in the decision-making processes behind modern journalistic techniques. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
