This book maps the growth of China's political, economic, and military capabilities and its impact on the...

This book explores the state of European foreign conflict reporting by public-sector broadcasters, post-Cold war and post-9/11.

It compares the values of three television news providers from differing public systems: BBC's News at 10, Russia's Vremya and France 2's 20 Heures. The book examines how these three news providers have reported and broadcast the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which both pre-dates the change in East-West relations and the events of 9/11. In doing so, the work identifies and analyses the role of public and state-aligned...
