Book review: Darren Kelsey, Media, Myth and Terrorism: A Discourse-Mythological Analysis of the ‘Blitz Spirit’ in British Newspaper Responses to the July 7th Bombings

Tiripelli’s analysis mainly takes into consideration the historical, cultural and social structures of journalism from an ethnographic standpoint, while generally overlooking text-centered approaches to the narratives presented in this study such as those prevalent in critical discourse analysis. However, Media and Peace in the Middle East does offer a transformative model linking media with social change, and might definitely be of interest to scholars from various interdisciplinary fields dealing with the constitutive role of discourse in effecting social change, conflict resolution studies, educational discourse and social change.
