Photojournalism and Foreign Policy

Meer over het boek

The book explores the influence of iconic images in the media on public opinion and foreign policy decisions. It highlights how certain powerful images can encapsulate significant events, evoke moral outrage, and drive government action. Perlmutter argues that while discourse elites shape the interpretation of these images, the general public often resists or remains indifferent to their framing, suggesting a complex relationship between media representation and public perception.
