Digital Media and Reporting Conflict: Blogging and the BBC’s Coverage of War and Terrorism

unfinished, like most authors writing on the topic, he ends by keeping alive the normative democratic demand in the face of an uncooperative reality. He writes about the present, but is very much oriented towards the – or ‘a’ – future. The book offers an introduction and a conclusion, with six thematic chapters in between. The detailed methodological discussion is quite lucid, and I appreciate that it appears as an appendix, so it does not interrupt the flow of the text. Overall, the book is well written, even if he rather belabours his two key concepts. On the other hand, this helps to add clarity to the empirical illustrations and the overall argument. This is a significant book in this sub-field, though in the context of a university course, it may function better pedagogically in counterpoint with one of the more mainstream approaches, to highlight the contours of each.
