The CNN Effect examines the relationship between the state and its media, and considers the role played by the news reporting in a series of 'humanitarian' interventions in Iraq, Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo and Rwanda. Piers Robinson challenges traditional views of media subservience and argues that sympathetic news coverage at key moments in foreign crises can influence the response of Western governments.

Common man,
By A Customer
This review is from: The CNN Effect: The Myth of News Media, Foreign Policy and Intervention (Paperback)
Piers Robinson has clearly demstrated that he is in touch with the views of the common man, so refreshing to read a theoretical book by a leading academic in his field that is clearly in touch with current thinking. I was pleased to see clear and yet not didactic influence from Chomsky. The book casts no aspersions about the influence Ogonovsky, Winter, Drew et al on the thought process that Robinson has employed in order to reach current conclusions.While Eric Berne describes Transactional Analysis as a humanistic educational psychology, Robinson uses the premise that educational difficulties can be addressed effectively with co-operative goodwill and a coherent theoretical framework which clarifies the human dynamics involved. A fantastic read. Well done Robinson. Good chap
