Routledge Companion to Media and Humanitarian Action, Hardback Book

Routledge Companion to Media and Humanitarian Action Hardback

Edited by Robin Andersen, Purnaka L. de Silva

Part of the Routledge Media and Cultural Studies Companions series

Hardback

Description

In this moment of unprecedented humanitarian crises, the representations of global disasters are increasingly common media themes around the world.

The Routledge Companion to Media and Humanitarian Action explores the interconnections between media, old and new, and the humanitarian challenges that have come to define the twenty-first century.

Contributors, including media professionals and experts in humanitarian affairs, grapple with what kinds of media language, discourse, terms, and campaigns can offer enough context and background knowledge to nurture informed global citizens.

Case studies of media practices, content analysis and evaluation of media coverage, and representations of humanitarian emergencies and affairs offer further insight into the ways in which strategic communications are designed and implemented in field of humanitarian action.
