Climate change and threats to the planet's ecology, the 'global war on terror' and various forms of warfare and humanitarian emergencies and struggles for human rights - these, and other, global crises represent the dark side of our globalizing world. This work examines the media's involvement in some of the most humanly pressing global crises. |
