News media are more sophisticated today than ever before, while culture and politics have reached heights of chaos never before seen. How do media outlets choose what to report, and what are the impacts of their choices? Mediatized Conflict sheds much-needed light on the subject. An expert on the subject culls together the latest research and theories to examine how the media today have replaced socalled objective reporting with actively "enacting" and "performing" coverage of war and conflict.
