Disasters, Relief and the Media Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Written at a time when disasters both natural - drought, famine - and manmade - the war in Yugoslavia, civil strike in South Africa - fill our TV screens and newspapers, and when politicians are arguing over how many refugees Britain should accept, this book examines the way in which relief agencies and the media interact, and illustrates many of the organizational, moral and political problems facing them.

Dr Benthall considers the different styles and "marketing techniques" of the different agencies, with particular attention paid to the power of television.

There are also accounts of two modern calamities: the Nigerian civil war of the late 1960s and the Armenian earthquake of 1988.
