Invisible Crises: What Conglomerate Control of Media Means for America and the World
Hidden from public sight and mind today are invisible crises that threaten our democracy and existence even more than the crises we know about - or think we know about. These invisible crises include the promotion of practices that drug, hurt, poison, and kill thousands every day; cults of violence that desensitize, terrorize, and brutalize; the growing siege mentality of our cities; widening resource gaps and the most glaring inequalities in the…
An intergenerational conversation on international communication
Social historical knowledge about the development of a field of study, such as international communication (IC), is hard to preserve. Development of research in IC’s base field of communication was cross-fertilised by visitors from several disciplinary domains. Newcomers to IC find it hard to uncover the field’s opening-up, from its first tilling to present harvests. There is need for intergenerational dialogue between senior and younger scholars…

Communication and development
Three major challenges now confront the communication and development field. First, after a short period of pause and reflection in the 1970s, the so‐called modernization paradigm has been reinvented and expanded—this time under rubrics such as globalization, free markets, and the Information Revolution. In its older and renewed forms, this has been the dominant development and communication paradigm. Second, grassroots movements and indigenous c…
Muslims and genocide in the Balkans
The international community has yet to make a fundamental choice between believing or not believing that the war in Bosnia‐Herzegovina affects world peace and the future of regional security. Genocide is being carried out on television and before the news media every day, yet the world leaders who have access to money, organizations, power, and military might still do not know exactly what to do. On the one hand, U.S. and European leaders say we …
Triumph of the image
The Gulf War represents the triumph of image over reality and reason. New communication technologies made possible the transportation of images and words in real time to hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Mesmerized by the imagery, we thought we witnessed the war. Yet, as studies from many countries suggest, it was not the war we witnessed but imagery orchestrated to convey a sense of triumph, thus achieving results that reality and reason…

Iran's perception of Western Europe: A study in national and foreign policy articulation
Acts of public communication cannot be isolated from other features of a political process. In fact, a study of public policy articulation can provide a valuable framework of national perceptions, demands and expectations through which a nation's evolving position in the international system may be analyzed. Iran offers a valuable opportunity in this regard because its policy articulation occurs through a limited number of communication channels‐…
Political and Social Implications of Communications Satellite Applications in Developed and Developing Countries
Communication technology has a direct role in national and international political systems, and therefore is not politically neutral. Communication satellites, for instance, affect power distributions and social control, and revise traditional views about national sovereignty which should be conceptualized in informational as well as spatial terms. Sovereignty can be assured only when nations control the channels via which messages are sent as we…

A paradigm for source analysis in events data research: Mass media and the problems of validity
Although many studies have compared sources used to collect events data, no attempt has been made to analyze the effects of the mass media systems that produce the data. This issue of the validity of individual sources could be approached systematically by (1) analyzing the structure and functions of a mass media system; and (2) identifying the nature of the system. In recognition of this problem, a paradigm for the systematic analysis of sources…
