Media, Propaganda and the Politics of Intervention

Florian Zollmanns Media, Propaganda and the Politics of Intervention presents a thorough, amply documented extension of Edward Herman and Noam Chomskys original Propaganda Model (PM) of the British and German press while also adding findings for the American press. Not only does Zollmann extend the PM geographically, he also updates it with detailed examination of double standards in elite newspaper reporting of recent atrocities in Syria, Libya and Egypt, as well as less recent ones in Kosovo and Iraq. (Tabe Bergman, European Journal of Communication 33(2) 2018) [...] I would strongly recommend peace activists get hold of a copy of Media, Propaganda and the Politics of Intervention as it is absolutely essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the medias propagandistic role in the Wests often deadly and counterproductive foreign policy. (Ian Sinclair, Peace News June-July 2018) Full review
