Overview

This book explores how journalists understand and interpret justice in their coverage of wars. Its deep analysis of war reporting offers a new understanding of modern, multicultural societies in times of conflict. In particular, it explores how the Yugoslav conflicts of the 1990s gave birth to the modern notion of the transnational community. The text provides new theoretical concepts in order to better understand media work during times of war, and offers new definitions of conflict and the transnational community as an authority of normative criteria for justice. Furthermore, it details a new model for the analysis of media texts with step-by-step guidelines and examples that will be very useful for media educators, journalism teachers, and students of journalism. The book's novel approach to understanding justice during a times of conflict will also be valuable for journalists who cover armed conflicts.
