Global communications, international affairs and the media since 1945

Summary: "Philip Taylor traces the increased involvement of the media in issues of war and peace largely since the end of the Second World War. He analyses the nature, role and influence of communications within the international arena in the modern world. He also explores the interaction of global media with foreign policy. This book offers a study of media in practice rather than in theory and details the realities of living in an information age." --back cover
