Contributing to the study of intersections between media and power, European and North American scholars of communication and journalism, law, sociology and other social sciences ponder making power visible, media and government relations, foreign policy and hegemony, media and academia, popular media and culture, and the political economy of media and culture. Among specific topics are discourses on power, links between mainstream journalists and the intelligence services in Britain, the power of images at times of war, why the propaganda model is marginalized in US journalism schools, policing the border through Canadian TV crime drama, and why a market approach to broadcasting does not work.
