"Do mass media turn us all into witnesses, and what might this mean? From the Holocaust
to 9/11, modern communications systems have incessantly exposed us to reports of far-flung
and often horrifying events, experienced by people whom we do not know personally,
and mediated by a range of changing technologies. What is the truth status of such
'media witnessing', and how does it depend on journalists and media organizations?"
"These are the themes taken up by the contributors to this volume, among them some
of the leading contemporary thinkers in communication and media studies. Together
they not only make a crucial intervention in ongoing debates about media witnessing
and the representation of strangers, but present original conceptualizations of the
relationship between knowledge, discourse and technology in the era of mass communications."--BOOK
