Description

Jim Lederman (au). Lederman draws on his intimate knowledge of the country & his long experience in journalism to analyze how the American media operate overseas during newsbreaking stories. In this instance, the breaking story was the “the Intifada,” a spontaneous uprising of young Palestinians on the West Bank & in East Jerusalem that began on Dec. 8, 1987. Examines how the American media function in crisis situations far away from their home turf. He demonstrates how the media is manipulated by its own needs & proclivities & by the demands of the new technologies, & how it manipulates not only the policies of the host country but also the politics & policies of the U.S. itself.
