Challenging the often unquestioned notions of media objectivity, the author turns the classic questions: Who, What, When and Why onto the news media themselves. By employing a range of theoretical perspectives and a large variety of examples, the author demonstrates the way in which our perceptions of the world are constructed by the news media.
