About this book
Reviews
“By investigating the mediatization of foreign policy comparatively, Brommesson and Ekengren make an important contribution to empirical research on the mediatization of politics and, not least important, its scope conditions. For anyone interested in the mediatization of politics, this book should be considered required reading.” (Jesper Strömbäck, Professor of Journalism and Political Communication, University of Gothenburg, Sweden)
"This important book takes mediatization theory out of its clouds of abstraction, and shows how media logic is conditioned by the complex contexts in which foreign policy is made and publicized. This careful comparison of three nations and two different foreign policy crises shows how media logic works in different cases. The authors develop a dynamic theory that will be used by scholars in the future. This is a must read for students of foreign policy and media.” (Lance Bennett, Professor of Political Science and Communication, University of Washington, USA)
