The media coverage of this conflict has everyone arguing about who is more wrong. (As though none of us had had parents who quoted "2 wrongs don't make a right" and "I don't care who started it...")While we are doing this we are not addressing the underlying question of what is to be done about two peoples wanting to occupy the same space, and what responsibilities those other nations who helped engineer this situation may now bear in trying to resolve it. As usual, the media's main interest is in what is happening NOW, and in the newsworthiness, including the shock value of that. How to get the media and the consumers of media to look at the back story - the important context and history - and consider solutions without that becoming a dry or overly complex narrative? without the media constantly repeating itself? -------------------------------------------------------- MeCCSA mailing list -------------------------------------------------------- To manage your subscription or unsubscribe from the MECCSA list, please visit: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=MECCSA&A=1 ------------------------------------------------------- MeCCSA is the subject association for the field of media, communication and cultural studies in UK Higher Education.
