Based on years of fieldwork in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Ukraine, \u003ci\u003eConflicted\u003c\/i\u003e challenges normative conceptions of war by revealing how representational authority comes to be. Turning the lens on journalists from \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, and other prominent publications, Isaac Blacksin shows why news coverage of contemporary conflict, widely presumed to function as a critique of excessive violence, instead serves to sanction official rationales for war.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBlacksin argues that journalism's humanitarian frame-now hegemonic in conflict coverage-serves to depoliticize and remoralize war, transforming war from an effect of policy on populations to a matter of violence against the innocent. Exploring the tension between experience and expression in conditions of violence, and tracking how journalists respond to dominant expectations of reality, \u003ci\u003eConflicted\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of war, reporters, and the consequences of their convergence. As new wars, and new reportage, continue to shape our understanding of armed conflict, this book makes visible both the power and the particularity of war reportage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIsaac Blacksin\u003c\/b\u003e is an ethnographer and Assistant Professor of Critical Media Studies in the Department of Communication and Journalism at Texas A\u0026amp;M University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 330\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.74 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 02, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45554780438630,"sku":"9781503639447","price":63.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/VigzRnsXAB9781503639447_de46706b-191e-41e5-9a93-6bdc2031b418.webp?v=1777258273","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/conflicted-making-news-from-global-war-paperback-1","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
