Based on extensive research on war and media since the 1970s, scientists are now studying the digital shift in news production. Little scientific attention has been paid to unprofessional images and eyewitnesses, although this type has a greater impact on the way in which conflicts are fought, communicated and covered by the media. This volume examines the power of new technologies to create and disseminate images in relation to conflicts.
Mortensen provides a theoretical framework and uses case studies to investigate the impact of non-professional images on key issues in the current media landscape: including new media technologies, democratic change, political mobilization, image control and watch ethics, the changing role of mainstream media in the digital age.
