As part of President Bush?s ?war on terror?, the invasion was the most controversial British foreign policy decision since Suez, and its ramifications and aftermath have rarely been far from the news. In the many political and public debates regarding this conflict, arguments over the role of the media have been omnipresent. For some, media coverage was biased against the war, for others it became a cheerleader for the invasion. Where does the truth lie? Drawing upon a uniquely-detailed and rich content and framing analysis of television and press coverage, and on interviews with some of the journalists involved, Pockets of Resistance provides an authoritative assessment of how British news media reported the 2003 Iraq invasion and also of the theoretical implications of this case for our understanding of wartime media-state relations. Pockets of Resistance examines the successes and failures of British television news as it sought to attain independence under the difficult circumstances of war, and describes and explains the emergence of some surprisingly vociferous anti-war voices within a diverse national press. 606 $aIraq War, 2003-2011$xMass media and the war 606 $aMass media$zGreat Britain 606 $aTelevision broadcasting of news$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y21st century 610 $aAli Abbas. 610 $aBritish news media. 610 $aIraq invasion. 610 $aJessica Lynch. 610 $aanti-war movement. 610 $acivilian casualties. 610 $aelite-driven model. 610 $aforeign policy. 610 $ahumanitarian operations. 610 $aindependent model. 610 $amedia criticism. 610 $amilitary casualties. 610 $aoppositional coverage. 610 $aoppositional model. 610 $asupportive coverage. 610 $awartime media performance. 615 0$aIraq War, 2003-2011$xMass media and the war. 615 0$aMass media 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting of news$xHistory 676 $a070.44995670443 700 $aRobinson$b Piers, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01515716 702 $aRobinson$b Piers 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826914003321 996 $aPockets of resistance$94001984 997 $aUNINA
