Abstract:
|
Studies of the news media in international affairs have demonstrated that national news organizations tend to follow the lead of national governments in reporting international events. On the other hand arguments have been made about the way media globalization is leading to a worldwide homogenization of journalistic practices and news reports. This paper presents results from an innovative analysis of Coalition news management activities during the Major Combat Operations phase of the 2003 conflict in Iraq. Using data from briefings and press conferences including the agendas and framings used by politicians, briefers and journalists the study tracks the dynamics of news management across a four weeks period. The study concentrates on the news production process and the exchanges between officials and both national and foreign journalists. The data is broken down across briefing locations allowing comparison of US, UK and theatre-of-war venues. The analysis suggests continuities with earlier conflicts in the tendency of journalists to reflect distinctive national priorities and framings of the situation. It also suggests, however, that journalists‘ access to an international range of external information sources undermined the ability of news managers to control agendas and framings and forced them into a reactive mode. This suggests the weakening of states ability to use the control of information as a source of news management and the importance of the development of non-linear models of news if we are to understand the impact of the news media in 21st century international affairs. |
