Author Description

The three gigantic media corporations, the BBC, CNN and Al-Jazeera, are largely responsible for refining and shaping our views of events in the world. Their informational and communicative arm is unprecedented in the history of human communication. This book deals with their Middle East coverage, particularly the Israeli-Palestinian struggle and the war in Iraq. The picture it paints may not be a happy one for readers who have long taken the neutrality and objectivity of the three medai behemoths for granted. The book helps readers to become conscious of how the more powerful in the society work to control our lives through discourse.
