The `Baghdad Broadcasting Corporation: US conservatives take aim at the British news media
This article assesses the US conservative attack on the BBC during the post 9/11 terrorism wars, finding conservative blogs, print media and think tanks notably hostile. The processes of media criticism taking place within this conservative triad are viewed through the analytical concepts of news repair and boundary maintenance. The findings suggest that the BBC's perceived transgression was that it threatened to reveal the fallacy of an argument…
Social movements and email: Expressions of online identity in the globalization protests
This study focuses on three email lists — one used by a professional organization (Friends of the Earth) and two by grass roots, street-level participants (Direct Action Network and People's Global Action) — in the Seattle World Trade Organization protests.

The Rwanda Crisis: An Analysis of News Magazine Coverage
American media traditionally have created one-dimensional portraits of intracountry conflict in Africa. Worldwide changes since the end of the Cold War have given many media observers hope that African violence might be covered more insightfully.

Findings suggest that some patterns such as viewing African events through an East-West frame have disappeared…
A `Pernicious New Strain of the Old Nazivirus' and an `Orgy of Tribal Slaughter: A Comparison of US News Magazine Coverage of the Crises in Bosnia and Rwanda
This study compares US news magazine coverage of conflict occurring in Bosnia and Rwanda. Bosnia's violence was characterized as an aberration for Europeans, while Rwanda's violence was presented as typical of Africans. Coverage suggests that in Bosnia, participants made a logical, albeit evil, decision to commit violence in an attempt to seek revenge for past grievances. In contrast, Rwanda's violence is depicted as having no logical explanation…
